Connected: Bodies, Media, and the Truth Beneath It

In this deeply personal (and dragonfly-surrounded!) episode of Aphantasia Experiments, Robin takes you on a breezy walk through the tangled threads of connective tissue disorders, hypermobility, media distortion, and the power of consciousness.

From a painful rib injury that revealed a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome to reflections on how a bendy body can also impact visualization, Robin explores how everything — our health, our perception, our media, and our collective understanding — is intricately connected.

She dives into topics like aphantasia, MCAS, the Beighton score, hormonal changes, telepathy tapes, and how unchecked media narratives (hello Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively) shape not only public opinion but even our careers and culture.

If you’ve ever felt like your body didn’t follow the same rules as others’, or that the world around you is feeding you a version of truth that doesn’t sit right, this episode is for you. Raw, unfiltered, and full of insight — it’s time to rethink connection.
