Episode 36: Forgetting Will Help

This episode dances around the themes of concealment and revelation; forgetting and remembering. Buffy talks about the concept of "Wintering" (by Katherine May), and why a good winter leads to a robust and vital summer. Contrast can help us remember who we are.

Life has a rhythm - it doesn't stay dark and it doesn't stay light. There is usually a mixture, and when we can lean into the trust of the flux, life swings more easily.

This episode includes stories of chocolate cake for breakfast, porch-side hellos, and the imminent joy of getting to hug our people after many pandemic months. You'll leave feeling hopeful and clear in maybe what it is you're currently forgetting - or remembering.

Learn more about Katherine May and her book "Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times."
