Hippie Science Variety Hour Jessica Donaldson and Seth Moore

While going through an exercise to find what a life with chronic illness has GIVEN rather than focusing on what all it has TAKEN, Jessica stumbled upon this concept of adaptabilty. As Seth and her began to discuss this silver lining, more and more examples of how we as humans should workout that adaptabilty muscle within ourselves. How much could we achieve if we looked at life and situations in a problem solving mindset rather than viewng issues that arise as obstacles or stumbling blocks? We are meant to live the human experience, but what if we adapt more to circumstances to reach our goals in the midst of the chaos rather than seeing the chaos as something additional to overcome and conquer?

We apologize for the delay this week, better late than never right? Jessica was literally packed up and on the way to the river when this episode was recorded so the editing was a bit delayed until she decided to rejoin civilization. Don't worry, before she runs off to the woods again we will have some episodes edited and scheduled...who knows when she will return next time, she keeps talking about moving to her favorite campsite and using blueberries as currency.

In this episode we discuss the relationship between family members and those that we form a chosen familial bond with as we develop our own ideals that may differ from our given family.

The world has lost its mind and dragged us with it lately, so kick back relax and enjoy a fireside chat as a refresher from all the chaos. We are once again on the porch and if you haven't ever heard the bugs and wildlife of the southern US you are in for a treat...or annoyance...y'all let us know which.

In this episode we had the pleasure of interviewing two amazing gentlemen that have Aphantasia (lack of internal monologue and/or blind mind's eye) . The first half of the episode we speak with Jason and in the latter Christoph. I have been trying to summarize these two men for some time and I keep coming up empty. Jason for example blew our minds by being a DND Dungeon Master with no visualization abilities. Whhhhattt? Or the story about telling his gf that he needed a recent picture of her because he would not be able to describe her to a sketch artist if anything was to happen...excuse me?
Or how about Christoph that has personally collected data from over 1,000 people and become an expert in his own right on Aphanstia. And has the purest heart of anyone that we have had the pleasure of speaking with in a good while.

How do you dwindle down two incredible souls and mind into a few sentences? I flat out refuse. So, listen to the episode.

In this episode we address some BIG life changes and additions to the podcast. Jessica's health has been in decline and she moved back home to MS. While it sucks beyond explanation that all of the plans and dreams never reached fulfillment, we are stoked to be back together in person ON THE PORCH! It truly doesn't get better than having our foundation back again and show traditions back in place. So all this means better content and more variety for ya'll! Patreon will be opened up soon and don't forget to check out the merch on our website www.hippiesciencepodcast.com
