Episode 15: Encanto: The Cost of Giftedness and Quest for Belonging

We’re kicking off a series on the psychology behind our favourite Disney stories with an episode on the incomparable Encanto! Mirabel, an ordinary child, desperately works for love and belonging in her extraordinary family, but are her gifted siblings working just as hard? How can parents support a child who is always in the shade of another? What happens when we parent in the context of a large community – and outside of it? Will we ever hear Joe sing? All of this and more in Episode 15!
