9 to 5ish with theSkimm

Kristen Bell on Mental Health at Work


Listen Later

Before she went to college, Kristen Bell’s mom sat her down for a candid convo. It wasn’t about navigating the quad or the importance of office hours. It was about the mental health struggles that ran in her family. Despite having those struggles too, Kristen never talked about it publicly. Until she decided: she owed it to her fans – and her family. Today, we talk about mental health and how being open with your team makes work better for everyone.  


In this episode, Kristen shares:

  • How one story about her family’s mental health struggles was a gift
  • Why she felt guilty about not sharing her mental health struggles earlier
  • Her definition of confidence – and how it has nothing to do with being perfect
  • Why having A+ creative partners enabled her to pursue jobs beyond acting
  • A Skimm of her children’s book, The World Needs More Purple Schools
