We’re Emma and Lisa, friends who talk a lot.

We are both deeply curious, and one thing we have in common is a fascination with the human experience and what makes us the way we are. 

In this podcast, we discuss topics that go beyond the mundane in an effort to get to the heart of what it means to be human - in an unscripted, humorous, open-hearted way. We invite our audience to join us as we explore these important and sometimes unanswerable questions.

    Getting Weird with Would You Rather

    Thanks for joining us for today's tangents! However, we’re a little less tangent-y?…tangential?…in this episode, as we decided to entertain ourselves (and we hope you) with a little round of Would You Rather.

    Seeing in Images & The Inadequacy of Language

    Seeing in Images & The Inadequacy of Language

    Thanks for joining us for today's tangents! Do you think in images? Do you ever have a difficult time articulating what those images look like or how you sense them, and what role does the heart center play? We tackle these concepts and more in today’s episode.
    01:42 Greetings and shoutout to our friend Josh
    03:00 Our brains have been abuzz with topics including thinking in images (How do we language this topic?) and do we think in discrete steps as Enneagram 6s?
    08:15 Do you think or process in images? Does everyone do that?
    08:45 Lisa doesn’t hear a story without imagining it, which is both cool and hard
    10:00 The head center is about how we see and is this type of thing more prominent for head types?
    11:20 Human Design cognition (Lisa - inner vision; Emma - touch)
    15:00 Language and how the centers of intelligence communicate with sounds
    17:45 Language as problematic when the images derive from the heart center?
    19:54 Are some things just more difficult to articulate or is it because language isn’t a suitable substitute for the other centers that are wanting to speak their own language?
    21:25 Heart images feel much deeper than what language can necessarily convey
    23:50 “I can see it but I can’t communicate it”
    25:30 Listening with the head vs. listening with the heart
    30:35 Mismatch between speech and body language
    31:33 How did we get here?!
    32:00 Future workshop collab?
    34:18 We can’t be amazing at everything or people would hate us. Facts.
    35:30 Even when you lose the language, the image and felt sense can still be present
    36:25 Listeners, answer our question of the day: Do you think in images?

    Lucid Dreaming, Personal Space and Social Dominance

    03:05 Our mornings started off in tandem with lucid dreams

    28:20 “What other people think about you is really none of your business.”
    29:05 Lisa muses incoherently on the concept of space: How much do we need? Is space a construct? Can we create our own bubble?
