#039 Bianca Stevens and the Monday Night Hang

Today is a special show. Long-time listeners will be familiar with this format, but the cast and crew change up from time to time. Today we have a new voice on the show to introduce. The one and only Bianca Stevens. We talk about:

• The rennfest meet up and what costumes the public should consider wearing this year: You might see more than one plague doctor out there.
• Hallucinations, witches, and which potion is better, blue or red
• What’s an acceptable amount of screen time use
• Bianca talks openly about many of the challenges she has overcome:
  • During her adolescence adjusting from being home schooled to public school while at the same time being adopted into a new home
  • Being in a 4-car pile-up and sustaining a brain injury; Living with aphantasia - not having the ability to imagine visualizations and also not having an inner monologue
  • How not having an inner monologue combined with peripheral neuropathy can lead to binge eating disorder, due to not being in accurate touch with appetite and satiety signals.
  • And much, much more
