What do Freddy Mercury’s teeth, twins, and extreme introversion have in common? This week’s invitation is to consider your Truxel and polish it.

Listen to tales of temper tantrums and raging inner fires, and how speed bumps can be a tool for course correction and parades a tool for recalibration.

If you stripped away all of the personal hurts, injustices, and trauma that have covered you up, and made you self-protect over the years, what would be underneath that? What's the quality you come by most honestly?

Did you know that mutts are generally healthier than purebred dogs? Buffy talks about why that makes sense, and shares stories of Anusara yoga, "guru moments," and how cherry-picking the sweet fruit from various systems can help you build your  own personal system of integrity, intuition, and wisdom.

Well… it’s election week, and even though Buffy recorded this before we knew the results, her message is simple: roll out the red carpet for your feelings.

What do you give a damn about? In this episode, Buffy talks about the high stakes moment in time we are living in, a time where neutrality and silence can have dangerous consequences.

Beauty marks are daily, sense-based, present-tense small treasures that are hopeful, happy, and good. They don’t negate anything hard, but they help one to remember the beauty amidst the difficulty.

Intuition: it’s really simple, and it’s really hard. It is, like most things, a practice. The voice of our intuition is always there, but we listen selectively.

In this episode, Buffy talks about the insidious trap of comparative suffering. Listen to stories of apology, struggling creatives, and the way hidden suffering amplifies shame.

Buffy reframes the idea of resilience from “bouncing back” into a new picture of “bouncing forward.” Resilience isn’t really possible if we get too nostalgic about the way things were - we have to stick in the present tense, and to build and bounce forward from challenge and difficulty.

In our creative lives, an incubation period is necessary, and how when we over-share, or share too soon, we jeopardize a vital, healthy birth.

This episode is entirely devoted to the book “See No Stranger” by Valarie Kaur. Valarie invites us to transition into a new, vibrant world through an embodied description of how the individual body meets the collective body, and where the two are dependent on each other.

The topic of shattering the myth requires deep self-inquiry, especially when it comes to deciding what’s ours and what’s not ours to haul on the next leg of the journey. Shatter the myth you’ve been perpetuating that’s been perpetuated for you.

In order for magic to touch down, curiosity has to be in the room. Buffy talks about curiosity from the standpoint of creative processes, and curiosity in relationships.

Most of life exists in the gray spaces, where we are waiting for the next move to become clear, or we are recovering from the move we just made. (Or both.) When so much time is spent in the gray areas, what can we do to stay anchored to what’s real and present?

Buffy spins stories of self-generated fires - why they matter, how they’re useful, and what's possible when the ashes settle. Expect tales of forest fires, the deep South, and grannies to support themes of growth, bravery and freedom.

Buffy tells stories of masks, the kindness of strangers, and feeling “pale at the pool,” all in service to the lesson of how empathy and building bridges can support more connection and kindness.

One of Buffy’s long-time teachings addresses "fairness" and leaning into the balance of our own unique gifts in partnership - both in love and like.

This week’s stories include gaslighting, prophetic dreams, and sticky-sap essential oil as Buffy illuminates the invaluable role stillness plays in our lives to become clear and aligned.

Buffy’s stories of ritual, from supper rituals to priests’ blessings to book smelling (really!) will have you considering how you weave ceremony and tradition into your own life.
