Less Like Will Help

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?
