Taking care of our elders - really taking care of them - is not built into our culture. This episode is an inquiry into the aging process - our own process, and the ways we tend to our loved one's aging. Buffy tells stories of sin-holding hats, the importance of asking questions, and more, all in service to the question: how do you see and uphold aging, both personally and culturally?

You can tell when you - or someone else - have lost their center. When you're moving from a place of pain, anger, or the like, you might feel unreachable. This episode is about the experience and practice from moving from a calm, centered space deep within you, even when the world outside is crumbling. Buffy includes practical advice and stories on redeemed goddesses, concerning lumps, and Moana.

Listeners of this podcast know that we at TTWH love a ritual. But what happens when our routines block us from seeing things in a fresh and new way? When our discipline becomes stagnant?

Buffy tells tales of boxing, a slow cup of coffee in Japan, and parking at the Gayfers. Buffy asks: what are you doing? What do you want to create, and what do you need more of? We hope these episodes bring you help, love and hope.

Let's talk about impact.
