Sidetracked

In this episode, Cynthia and Heather get sidetracked by multiple car buying experiences  including what happens when two lawyers walk into a used car dealership (spoiler: it gets intense).  The saga of Cynthia’s mace incident continues, and this time, poor Dorthy is the next unexpected victim. Cynthia’s family is trying to keep her humble, reminding her she is not a comedian, all while Heather gives the mail lady a lift to Highland Park Village and Bruce goes all in celebrating her half birthday.

In this episode, Cynthia and Heather get sidetracked by Heather’s trip to all of the South East United States for a fun college tour.

This Feels Like an Intervention: Sidetracked by Brain Health with Dr. Spencer Miller

In this episode, Cynthia and Heather get sidetracked by Dr. Miller a neurologist here to talk about brain health, ADHD, and executive functioning. He tells his own fascinating story and path from architecture to neurology. Through getting his degree he discovered brain trauma that he had no recollection of and had to call his mom to get the full story. 

Now Dr. Miller helps kids and adults train their brains to focus and be active in the areas of trauma or inactivity so they can focus in school or life. After going through the treatment himself people began to notice the differences in personality and focus. Cynthia is once again feeling like this episode is an intervention, maybe someday she will make it through watching  a whole movie?
