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.
This week on MHM we are talking about SHERE KHAN from the Disney classic, “The Jungle Book.” Your hosts HB and LB share personal anecdotes and delve into Shere Khan's motivations, character traits, and the fear he instills among the jungle inhabitants. We consider how much of his villainy is attributed to natural instincts versus reputation as well as compare this portrayal to other versions and conclude with a reflection on how to deal with intimidating figures in real life and some fun facts about the movie.
Questions, themes, and topics we touch on include:
Creating an idea of someone based on eavesdropping and their reputation
Social media and its power to sway thought and opinion
What to do if there’s a Shere Khan in your life
Staying true to yourself to find your people
And more!
