Join Shaley Hoogendoorn, host of "Conversations With," as she delves into the fascinating world of emotions through the lens of "Inside Out 2." Living with Bipolar 2 Disorder, Shaley shares how storytelling can heal and educate, breaking down stigmas and bringing understanding to mental health.

In this engaging episode, Shaley is joined by Charise Jewell, a mother and author diagnosed with Bipolar I, to discuss the representation of emotions in "Inside Out 2." The conversation covers the introduction of new characters like Anxiety and Ennui, and their impact on viewers, particularly children, in understanding mental health.

Shaley and Charise explore how the movie portrays anxiety, the importance of compassion towards emotions, and the balance between joy and sadness. They discuss the film's depiction of anxiety attacks and its potential for teaching emotional literacy, while also critiquing some of the film's shortcomings in representing adult emotions.

The episode emphasizes the significance of talking about mental health openly, both in families and in society, to foster understanding and resilience. Shaley and Charise encourage listeners to watch "Inside Out 2" and share their thoughts, highlighting its potential as a conversation starter about emotions and mental health.
