My guest today is my fabulous sister, Stacey.  I got to ask her about her experience with dyslexia as a child and now as an adult, (across three different continents – wait, four different continents, wow.) We also talk autism, labels and identity. She’s a therapist and her reflections are thoughtful and thought-provoking. I really enjoyed our conversation and I hope you do too.

It was a delight to talk with Dana Wheeles again about her fabulous Doofy Birds. 

We talk about her upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand for her Doofy Bird Travel Series and her Doofy Birds Book Project. I hope you enjoy hearing about how her plans are coming to fruition, or - ahem, are taking flight! (teehee.)

My guest today is my wonderful friend Rachel.  We had such a great time talking about ALL THINGS GEEK and letting our joyous GEEK FLAG FLY high.  Starting with Rose City Comic Con and of course including a spirited discussion of Star Wars and Star Trek.  Plus how to translate to non-Geek folks in your life- everyone welcome;)
We had a great time and I hope you do too!

(And we might have gotten carried away trash-talking some Star Wars movies- but we're still BIG fans! Or maybe that's even a sign of being super fans?!; )

My guest today is Abigail, Owner and Chief Paper Folder at Yeiou™.
I got to ask Abigail how she started her cool business, Yeiou Paper Objects, which offers intricate detailed house portraits, elegant silhouettes, and neat maps. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and I hope you will too.

From Abigail's website, for a taste of how delightful she is(!)

"Why yeiou? Because vowels are important! Because making things up is fun. Because sillyness is underrated. Because the domain name was available. Because it rhymes with “Hi, you!” and I am all about enthusiastic greetings. Because why not?"

You can find her at

and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/yeioupaperobjects/

and I also wanted to provide a link to Stasia Savasuk of Style School fabulousness (mentioned in our talk) because, oh my, about so much more than clothes(!)

Eileen is one of my favorite people and we chatted about her time in graduate school in chemistry and how she got there, figuratively and literally, and then also talked about face blindness and synesthesia. I divided our conversation into two episodes: the longer one is about graduate school (posted separately) and this one is about face blindness and synesthesia. We had a good laugh about it, even if it causes us trouble!

For today’s episode I got to talk to one of my favorite people about her time as a graduate student in Chemistry in the 1970s, and her route there, (literally and figuratively) including the wonderful story of how Eileen met her husband in Mesa Verde National Park when she drove cross country with a friend in October of 1960, camping outdoors along the way. Eileen is an absolute delight.  

(We also spoke about face blindness and synesthesia and had a good laugh- and I’m posting that in a separate episode.)

I talked with Carolyn McGrath about her wonderful memoir in another episode, link to her book:

and lastly- for an idea of what Eileen's car might have looked like...  (so cute!!)

Apparently- "Goblin Mode" was Oxford's "Word of the Year" 2022 (I guess I was Goblining and missed that announcement!)   thank you, Google.
