New episodes are coming your way in October, but in the meantime Maya wanted to share her conversation with renowned chef Christina Ha. When a rare neurological condition left Christine legally blind by age 24, she worried she might never be able to cook again. Her story shows the power of imaginative courage in the face of change.

If you enjoyed this episode, you can watch Maya’s TED talk here, which also features Christine’s story. You might also like the episode “The Science of Motivation”.

In the meantime, you can connect with Maya on Instagram @DrMayaShankar.
