Today, I'm sharing my conversation with Meg Lefauve, Oscar-nominated screenwriter for the Disney Pixar film, Inside Out.  

It was so cool to be able to talk to Meg and learn more about the inner workings of a movie that has had such an impact on me and my parenting journey.

We talk about the importance of embracing our inner Anger (especially as women), the power of self-awareness and emotional intelligence, lava, and so much more. 

Meg LeFauve is an Oscar-nominated writer and Peabody award-winning producer. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for co-writing the script for Pixar's INSIDE OUT.  She wrote the script for Pixar’s THE GOOD DINOSAUR which was nominated for a Golden Globe. In addition, she wrote the story for the MCU live action feature CAPTAIN MARVEL, and wrote the script for Netflix/Cartoon Saloon's MY FATHER'S DRAGON which was nominated for two Annie Awards. She has taught at AFI and served as co-chair of the Graduate Producers Program at UCLA's School of Film and Television, where she taught master level story and development classes for over seven years.
