This week we've been talking about starting over in this swellcast about mental wellness. And every week we're going to look at a theme in a different way, as we've been doing. And on Fridays, I'm going to be looking at the theme through the lens of something that is cultural about it. Something that was created in books or in tv series or in movies.
