I am interested in transformation and how we can take hard things and mulch them into beauty. Writing, podcasting, teaching yoga, leading community courses, and one on one mentorship are ways I develop this transformation and discovery. In these tumultuous times, this deep work is most effective in collaboration.
my name is Buffy.
Some Things That Will Help
Buffy calls us to take radical responsibility for our lives, even when it is inconvenient; even when it is difficult; even when it is easier to shirk it. Wanting it is not always enough - so what can we do to bridge the gap between wanting it and having it?
This is a powerful time for healing, transformation, and reflection on the ways we want to show up in the world. Buffy and Alex discuss practical ways to work with the volatile energy of this current astrological weather.
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.
This episode is dedicated to the power you contain and the practices that help cultivate your ability to stand vertical, with... less. What if the answers you seek don't lie in trendy workout equipment and the never-ending cycle of "self-help"? We go in to find out.
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.

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. Listen for practical ways to build new patterns, pathways, and discoveries for yourself.
This is a human conversation and an invitation into a deeper experience of yourself through the keeper of the threshold, Ganesh, and the wisdom he offers us.
Calling all worriers! What if you could see how you spend your time in a visual form, like a pie chart? How big of a slice would be spent worrying?
It is essential to find our own raw piece of earth,
and inhabit it without apology. This quest for self-understanding is perhaps at the center of my work and the important invitation I extend to others. I create offerings that are soaked in story, movement, intuition, connection to spirit, the ability to get very still, as well as the audacity to set things on fire. My work is all these things at once– and signals a path to return home. Home is not a place forward or backwards, but a place that evolves over time within each of us.
