Are You an Indigo Child? (Or Do You Just Have ADHD?)

Before diving into the cosmic deep end, the dynamic duo catches you up on life updates. Stevie’s gay lisp is officially back and better than ever after wrapping up his Invisalign journey. Then, it’s time to activate your third eye chakra. This week, the Weirdos explore the fascinating phenomenon of Indigo Children. The story starts in the 1970s with Nancy Ann Tappy, a parapsychologist with synesthesia, a mind-bending neurological condition where senses involuntarily collide (like tasting words or seeing music as colours). Tappy began noticing a new generation of children possessing distinct indigo-coloured auras, high intuition, and a fierce resistance to traditional authority. Jacklynn and Stevie break down Tappy’s four archetypes, the psychic traits associated with Indigos, like telepathic spirit communication and eerie past-life memories, and contrast them with healthy scientific skepticism, developmental psychology, the Barnum effect, and the overlap with ADHD and Autism. In this episode, you’ll also hear about:🌟 Pop icons Billie Eilish and Phineas navigating life with synesthesia. 🛸 Boris Kiprianovich, the famous Russian "Boy from Mars" who claimed a past life on the red planet. 🔬 A wild tangent about CERN shutting down the Large Hadron Collider and whether dimensional pockets are making the world feel a little lighter. ✨ Stevie and Jaclyn’s personal connection to Indigos, auras, big-eyed babies, and their shout-outs to the many wonderful Brads and Debs in their lives. Are you an Indigo child? Do you see auras? Or are we all just a little bit whimsical? Tune in, find out. Send us Fan MailWant more Weirdos of Whimsy?
