Kimberly and Cara pull “glitter” from the Dino Cup and follow every dazzling tangent: optics for babies (reflection vs. refraction), autumn creeks and the sudden urge to pee, and the forever-sparkle of craft glitter that shows up years later. Glitter becomes a metaphor for attention and memory - what sticks, what we tune out, and why we can recall tiny details yet forget names (or who saw the movie with us 😅). They swap stories about selective focus, acting brain vs. everyday brain, and how our minds filter the overload. For Rabbit Hole of the Week, Cara shares a favorite me-we tool: your feelings are not who you are - separating emotion from identity to improve self-regulation and relationships (timely for spooky-season dualities). A shorter, shiny episode that’s curious, candid, and just a little messy - like real life… and glitter.

Cara and Kimberly pull “divine” from the Dino Cup and play with all its meanings - from stardust and “heaven on earth” moments to the very human mess of making anything at all. They land on a working definition: the more senses involved, the more divine it feels. Along the way: Michelangelo’s almost-touch, the divinity of birth (and sticky realities), and a tea metaphor for creativity - rituals, mistakes, and learning as sacred practice. They compare sprints vs. marathons in creative work, talk hyperfocus, Pomodoro pushback, and give permission to find what actually works for your brain. “Take what aligns; leave the rest.” For the Rabbit Hole of the Week, Kimberly’s science-nerd detour reframes “stuck”: because the sun is in motion, you traveled ~12 million miles in the last 24 hours. Translation: you’re moving - even when it doesn’t feel like it. Unscripted, judgment-free, and seasoned just right.

Cara and Kimberly riff on the word lexicon and how “the taste of words” shapes meaning, from Shakespeare’s shifting vowels to Merriam-Webster’s ever-growing dictionary. They unpack personal lexicons, misfires in conversation when the same word means different things, and why curiosity (not certainty) is the secret to real dialogue. Kimberly shares dyslexia-friendly writing tricks and Cara traces her love of word-play to her grandmother. There’s leadership talk (put the problem on the table, not between us), a nature-and-nurture “it’s okay if it ends in a tie” analogy and the debut of Rabbit Hole of the Week—cycling through moons, hormones, and archetypes. Unscripted, judgment-free, and seasoned just right.
