Three years ago, Buffy’s dear friend Tina Porter faced the unimaginable—losing her son, Brody, to an aggressive brain tumor. In this special episode, Buffy and Tina come together for a heartfelt closet session to reflect on love, loss, and the lasting impact of Brody’s life. They discuss the beauty of his legacy and the practices that carried Tina and her family through both his passing and the grief that followed. This intimate conversation is a tribute to resilience, remembrance, and the ways we hold on to those we love. This is part one of a two-part conversation.

In this episode, Buffy explores the juxtaposition between belonging and dissonance. She talks about the way communities can lighten the load and encourage bravery and belonging - as well as the pitfalls of what happens when we only surround ourselves with what feels familiar. Buffy challenges us to get curious about what is not like us through stories of post-car crashes, sheer tops, and unexpected moments of friction.

Growth often comes from being around people who don’t think like us. How do we strike the balance between enough similarity to feel at home, and enough difference to stretch and challenge us?

How does deep listening shape the way we experience life? How does it help us notice what we might otherwise overlook? Buffy reflects on the shift from doing into being, and how fulfillment can meet us when we let ourselves be present with our process. She talks about the connection between listening and play, and how joy and creativity can deepen our relationship to our inner life. Buffy leaves listeners with the question: what legacy do do want to leave? How do you become, not just through what you do, but through the way you listen, move, and exist in the world?
