  • 30 DID YOU KNOW LUSH COSMETICS IS SYNAESTHETIC?? Product developer Jody on tasting touch

    We probably all passed a LUSH shop at some point, but little did we know that the company is very much inspried by synaesthesia! How cool?? Mark Constatine, one of the founders of LUSH Handmade cosmetics is a synaesthete himself, and so is our Guest of today's episode: Jody Bailey can taste massages. She found a wonderful way to incorporate that into her job as a massage therapist, trainer and product developer at LUSH. In this episode she fills us in on how and how the "Synaesthesia Massage treatment" came to live. We hope you will enjoy Episode 30, a perspective on Synaesthesia in Business!

  • 28 GIFTEDNESS, TWICE-EXCEPTIONALITY & EXISTENTIAL THOUGHTS with Emily Kircher-Morris

    A gifted person demonstrates advanced abilities or potential in one or more specific areas when compared to others of the same age, experience, or environment. They excel in their capacity to think, reason and judge.

    Twice-exceptional inidivduals are "gifted with a twist" as their exceptional abilities coexist with conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia or others.

    Today's guest is Mental Health Therapist Emily Kircher-Morris. We'll learn about how both giftedness and twice-exceptionality present in young kids, students and adults, how to create neuro-affirming classrooms and what it needs to raise healthy neurodivergent kids. Emily and Maike also discuss the common experience of deep existential thoughts that so many gifted children share.


    Emily Kircher-Morris is the host of "the Neurodiversity Podcast" and you can find her here:

  • 27 SELF-DIAGNOSIS & THE ONLINE NEURODIVERSITY MOVEMENT with Zoe #4

    IT'S GETTING CONTROVERSIAL! Is self-diagnosis as valid as a formal diagnosis, are doctor's really listening, should I rely on a dance reel on instagram for info on diagnostic criteria of ADHD? Come join Zoe and Maike for a in depth discussion of the positives and negatives of discussing mental health on the internet.

    Hope you enjoy this episode, let Zoe and Maike know what your thoughts on the topic are!

About Let's talk Synaesthesia

From the publisher's feed

What is it like to live with different forms of synaesthesia? What do we know about synaesthesia from a scientific point of view? For this podcast Maike Preissing, psychologist & synaesthesia artist, invited synaesthetes from all around the world to tell their story. In season one we will hear from world-leading scientists, artists, musicians, book authors and neurodivergent people to learn about the beauty and burden of having a uniquely wired brain.
