On today's episode my wife Sarah and I discuss her coming to terms with the fact that she has a condition called Prosopagnosia also known as "Face Blindness" which impairs her ability to recognize faces. We talk about all of the funny and sad consequences of her impairment and about all the ways those of us with a more normal recognition capacity can be more mindful of others who may be struggling in this way. Below are some links we reference in the episode.

Ok Enjoy!
