Kristen Bell /// A Mosaic of our Own Experiences /// Season5:E112

The concept of understanding becomes complex when we don't quite relate to another's feelings. The wonderfully talented Kristen Bell discusses her life as an empath among other things. Her personal experiences and innate ability to empathize help drive this passionate conversation that explores her sense of self and those around her.  Bell's humorous and engaging nature brings light to a variety of deep conversations.
