The Lunar Eclipse Will Help
Happy Eclipse Season! Buffy welcomes TTWH editor and producer Alex Ammons - who also moonlights as a professional astrologer. Alex and Buffy talks about the two-week period of the eclipse season - which, on this episode air date, we are in the thick of. Eclipses are major moments in the collective and individually, and knowing how to best prepare for them can help us navigate the potential tumult with grace and compassion (both for ourselves and others).
You can book as astrological reading with Alex here.

Cell Support Will Help
Today's episode explores how we can cultivate joy, health, and happiness without turning our faces away from the pain of the world, which sometimes asks for our attention and other times demands it. Buffy recorded this at a time where a non-binary student was murdered in a bathroom, and where war ravages across the Middle East and beyond. These are times that, as Buffy teacher says, are "relentless and exhausting," as she calls us to take better care of ourselves now, more than ever. When we strengthen a cell in the body, we strengthen the body.

Tricia Get a Buggy Will Help
How do you make decisions? Swiftly and suddenly? Do you let ideas marinate before you move forward? Buffy's story about Tricia's buggy (southern for "shopping cart") illustrates the wisdom of our desires, and how sometimes pausing can give us the space to hear them truly and clearly.
Can we begin to normalize the practice of checking in with ourselves before we make decisions; pausing, breathing, and seeing what changes? Buffy talks about this, and more, in this week's episode.

New Towns Will Help
How can we help ourselves feel safe instead of bracing for impact?
We get curious.
Just like we might be if we found ourselves in a new town. Entering a new place - physically, mentally, or emotionally - with a spirit of wonder and curiosity can create a completely different experience than defaulting to old patterns of fear, pain, and anxiety. Buffy talks about her ankle replacement recovery to elaborate on this gorgeous metaphor and walks listeners through practical ways to build new patterns, pathways, and discoveries for ourselves.
