In their very first video podcast recording, Stephanie and Leo are joined by special guest, Kage in a conversation about mental health. A writer and photographer, Kage speaks candidly about living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Hear her share her experience and how she navigates and perseveres through a debilitating condition affecting many around the world.
*A side note around the 5:55 mark: What Kage meant to say was not "magic realism" but rather "magical thinking" — the belief that one's thoughts, actions, and words can influence how events unfold. The belief that "if I do/say this, this will happen."
