Prioritize your mental health. Get 10% off your first month of therapy with our sponsor BetterHelp: Why do we fear change? How do you differentiate good advice from bad? Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are taking a look at The Lion King and talking about grief, guilt, and advice-giving. They discuss the challenges of finding your identity and facing your past. They rank all the advice Simba receives throughout the movie and begin to notice a pattern. Spoiler: Hakuna Matata isn’t the best advice. As usual, Hans Zimmer makes everyone cry. But he makes up for it with musical farts.
