Welcome to another episode of Mental Health Multiverse: A podcast where we mindfully break down your pop culture favs and discuss them through the lens of self care, mental health, and personal development. 

In this episode, your hosts HB & LB talk all about BELLE from Beauty and the Beast with special guest Lindley (aka @littlelottie on Insta & TikTok)!

Lindley Key is a New York-based actress, content creator, and award-winning cosplayer who might be best known for her viral conversation with Brendan Fraser on TikTok. She taught herself to sew during lockdown and one of her most notable handmade pieces is a crossover of Belle from Beauty and the Beast with Claire Fraser of Outlander - she calls it her “Bonnie and the Beast.” That and her musical theater background are why we asked her to “be our guest” for the Belle episode of MHM! 

In this episode we discuss our favorite scenes, characters, and quotes as well as themes such as the great stockholm syndrome debate, post traumatic growth, obsession, and loss.
