ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Sometimes we feel just one single feeling with overwhelming force. We're joyously happy. We're crushingly sad. But sometimes it's more complicated than that: We feel happy and sad at the same time.

She explores how being of two minds changes the way we think, and how it changes the way others see us.
