Episode 2: Toys as Transitional Objects with Stacey Rader

In childhood development, transitional objects provide comfort in difficult or unique situations. We're joined by Stacey Rader, of Adventures of a Geeky Vixen, to discuss some of the toys that helped us through some tricky times growing up and into adulthood. We laugh, we cry (almost), and get a little gross. VisualsTurns out that Strawberry Shortcake rag dolls make great stunt padding in a pinch. And they smell good too.  My old friend with the crooked nose and droopy eye. Carrie Fisher meets Endor Carrie Fisher E.T. means home. Me and my best friend with our Showtime Kamar E.T.s in 1982. He's an adult, he's annoying, and he's an important part of Stacey's past. Moss Man got me through a long drive to my impending doom (hospital visit). When you're nervous about flying, it's good to have the ultimate co-pilot at your side.
