In this episode, Adriana talks to Jeannie Tyrrell, the founder of Brain Drops Foundation, author and illustrator of her personal memoir titled "Brain Drops," host of the Brain Drops podcast, and now the founder of her newest project, Brain Drops magazine.

Jeannie is a passionate advocate for immediate change to our current Zeitgeist, who sees the compassion fatigue, the rampant escapism, the widespread dissociation, and the real consequences that such ignorance has on societies most vulnerable communities.

Inspired by her mother's association, geared to help women in domestic violence situations, a series of turbulent events cause Jeannie to turn pain into purpose with the birth of the Brain Drops Foundation.

Jeannie talks to us about her battle to break through to the other side of escapism, good and bad forms of escapism and how to streamline restless energy that comes from compassion fatigue. She also unveils to us her term, the "disregard complex," and how it runs as a central theme throughout the foundation, book and magazine.

We also discuss the cognitive dissonance of billionaires, and how slowly but surely Brain Drops is working towards dismantling capitalism as we know it.
