What Language Do You Dream In?

Episode 103 with Christine Syrad.

“Our attention is like a river. Sometimes you could do with a dam because you can’t stop yourself from focusing. And other times you go through massive droughts.”

Christine is a gastronomist and fermentation enthusiast who also happens to speak 5 languages. She grew up between the UK, Japan, and Italy and has spent the last decade or so in Switzerland, where she now resides with her husband and daughter. 

She is also the face of fermentable, where she not only teaches workshops to other chefs about the art of fermentation, but also packages and sells her own fermented products. 

Christine and I talk all about her globe-trotting childhood and mixed-race heritage, and how her ADHD contributed to her many varied career paths over the years, as well as how her hypersensitivity helped her learn so many languages over the years. 

We also talk about her years living in Japan and how ADHD is viewed in Japanese culture. 

Christine is an absolute delight and a wonderful storyteller — I truly hope you love this interview as much as I did!
