In this reflection episode, I unpack my emotional response to my interview with Paula Prober, author of Your Rainforest Mind.
We talk about what it feels like to finally be seen as a gifted adult, why giftedness isn’t just about intellect, and how deep feelers like Paula help us make sense of our inner world. I share why this conversation stirred up so much in me—including the moment I teared up—and why Paula’s metaphor is more than just language… it’s healing.
Whether you’re a gifted adult or love someone who is, this episode is for you.
