 Fandom works wonders for mental health. Frfr.
In this episode of Impostrix Podcast, host Whitney Knox Lee explores
the vibrant world of fandom and how it brings joy, connection, and validation.
Whitney is joined by Kristine McPartlin, co-host of the multi-award winning Mind
the Force Podcast, a show where Star Wars fandom meets mental health.
Kristine shares how she discovered Star Wars during the
pandemic and how it has become a significant part of her life, offering
community, respite from this world, and helps with mental health.
The conversation also touches on the broader ideas of
finding joy in various fandoms (i.e. POGS, Pokemon, Lord of the Rings, and
more), the importance of leaning in to the things you love just for the heck of
it! Tune in for an engaging discussion on how hobbies and passions can enrich
our lives.
