Mind Maps & Missteps: Why We’re Failing at Wholeness (And How to Fix It)

What do anxious kids, an autistic accountant, and Helen Keller have in common? They’re all clues to why society’s dropping the ball on teaching us to think—and be whole. In this episode, I unpack Jonathan Haidt’s phone flop, the hidden genius of The Accountant, and my own dyslexic journey to argue one thing: we’re not broken, we’re just taught wrong. From audiobooks to free-range kids, there’s a middle way out—agency, not denial or coddling. Plus, a nod to Helen Keller’s real lesson: connection makes us human. Join me for a raw riff on building mental maps in a world that’s lost its own. Thoughts? Hit me up.
