There Are No Tangents

  • Summary

  • We’re Emma and Lisa, friends who talk a lot.



    We are both deeply curious, and one thing we have in common is a fascination with the human experience and what makes us the way we are. 



    In this podcast, we discuss topics that go beyond the mundane in an effort to get to the heart of what it means to be human - in an unscripted, humorous, open-hearted way. We invite our audience to join us as we explore these important and sometimes unanswerable questions.

  • Getting Weird with Would You Rather
    May 9 2023

    Thanks for joining us for today's tangents! However, we’re a little less tangent-y?…tangential?…in this episode, as we decided to entertain ourselves (and we hope you) with a little round of Would You Rather. 


    “Weird” Would You Rather questions from gohen.com

    01:05 Bummer - missed innuendo

    01:30 Reach out to us. We dare you.

    02:25 Lisa is ready to dive right in

    04:40 Would you rather have arms as long as Mr. Tickle or legs as short as E.T?

    06:48 Would you rather empty a swimming pool using just a fork or get in a swimming pool for half an hour with a jellyfish?

    10:03 Would you rather drink soup out of a farmer's welly or from a binman's sock?

    14:00 Would you rather have your name tattooed on your forehead or have no front teeth?

    16:10 Would you rather let a crusty old man drink milk out of your belly button every day for a year or drink milk out of a crusty old man's belly button every day for a month?

    17:28 Would you rather fight a kangaroo or a badger?

    18:20 Would you rather eat a wet loaf of bread or drink a pint of whipped fish?

    19:00 Would you rather live in a world where you dance instead of walk or sing instead of talk?

    21:43 Would you rather share a bed with a walrus or an eel?

    22:20 Please share your answers. And tell us what you imagine when you think of crusty old men.

  • Seeing in Images & The Inadequacy of Language
    Apr 25 2023

    Thanks for joining us for today's tangents! Do you think in images? Do you ever have a difficult time articulating what those images look like or how you sense them, and what role does the heart center play? We tackle these concepts and more in today’s episode.


    01:42 Greetings and shoutout to our friend Josh

    03:00 Our brains have been abuzz with topics including thinking in images (How do we language this topic?) and do we think in discrete steps as Enneagram 6s?

    08:15 Do you think or process in images? Does everyone do that?

    08:45 Lisa doesn’t hear a story without imagining it, which is both cool and hard

    10:00 The head center is about how we see and is this type of thing more prominent for head types?

    11:20 Human Design cognition (Lisa - inner vision; Emma - touch)

    15:00 Language and how the centers of intelligence communicate with sounds

    17:45 Language as problematic when the images derive from the heart center?

    19:54 Are some things just more difficult to articulate or is it because language isn’t a suitable substitute for the other centers that are wanting to speak their own language?

    21:25 Heart images feel much deeper than what language can necessarily convey

    23:50 “I can see it but I can’t communicate it”

    25:30 Listening with the head vs. listening with the heart

    30:35 Mismatch between speech and body language

    31:33 How did we get here?!

    32:00 Future workshop collab?

    34:18 We can’t be amazing at everything or people would hate us. Facts.

    35:30 Even when you lose the language, the image and felt sense can still be present

    36:25 Listeners, answer our question of the day: Do you think in images?
