In this episode, Kari and I discuss various facets of working with gifted children and the complexities that make them a unique population to work with and understand.

Blaire Ward, Ph.D - Author, Relationship Coach, Speaker - is here for a candid conversation regarding the high intelligence brain and its role in her life.

You can find Blaire @ BlaireWard on IG & her book 10 Dudes on Amazon.

The last episode we touched on the reason for emotional paralysis in the high intelligence population. This time, I go deeper in sharing a personal method for living and working with the deep intensity feelings and emotions, with which I feel life.

Except for the select few with the highest IQ's, the gifted brain is wired to experience emotions intensely and deeply. In this episode, Cindy begins this conversation with 'why' this is and how we can move from seeing emotions as the enemy (or something to be feared) - to- an accepted part of the human experience.

An interview with Dr. David Antonyan, O.D.. Visual Processing Disorders can contribute to the complexities and difficulties we often see in the High Intelligence Brain. Dr. Antonyan shares what this looks like in a person, how proper care can change the patients life, and how to find a practitioner who can help.

The basis for our discussion comes from understanding this key concept: how the brain is like a ball

High intelligence - what is it? How is it currently defined? Is it a different brain - if so, what are the differences? Do I have this brain?

All great questions - listen for how we redefine what we means to be part of the top 5%.

Meet Cindy, the person behind the podcast. Why understanding high intelligence matters and her journey through parenthood that led her to start this conversation.
