00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 5: health issue.

75
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: Well it is. It's about having this conversation and obviously

76
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: watching your daughter Stephanie, you know, and her career flourish.

77
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: Was there a moment where you sat down with her

78
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 2: and she said to you, Mum, this is a great

79
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: area that you're really really good at. This is your

80
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: opportunity to speak out and use my fame and get

81
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: it out there and get the message across. Did you

82
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: have that conversation with her?

83
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: We did, and I.

84
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 5: Have to tell you the first time we had it,

85
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 5: I can't say that it went that well. I was

86
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: more private about talking about mental health and about our

87
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 5: experiences as a family, and she said, you know, Mom,

88
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 5: I think that we have a responsibility as a mother

89
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 5: daughter team to share this story and potentially help other people.

90
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: Stephanie is just I mean, she's multi talented. It's not

91
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: just singing and dancing, it's acting as well. She's on fire.

92
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: To see her in a movie like a Star as BA,

93
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: that must have been emotional for you to sit through

94
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 4: something that has such a big message in it as well.

95
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 5: It was. I watched it with her actually at the

96
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 5: premiere and I told her, I said, I don't know

97
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 5: if I can watch that again. I mean, on so

98
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 5: many levels it was very difficult to watch, but also

99
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 5: I think a very important message to watch and here,

100
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 5: especially when you think about the stigma that continues to

101
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 5: surround mental health, the inability to talk candidly about suicide,

102
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 5: even which there's an even bigger stigma with that. Yet

103
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 5: we know that the right thing to do is to

104
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 5: have open conversations about it.

105
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: This is amazing. Have you seen any of Djoka too yet?

106
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: Have you seen her in that?

107
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 5: No?

108
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: I have not.

109
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 2: I'm so looking forward to.

110
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: That one right now.

111
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: Any other new music you can tell us about, Cynthia.

112
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: I cannot.

113
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 5: I wish I could. She's still playing jazz in Las Vegas,

114
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 5: so that's amazing.

115
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, we we more to share.

116
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: We spoke to her one time when she was Live FRO.

117
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: She was in New York and she was in the

118
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: studio and she performed on piano Million Reasons, and it

119
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 4: was just this moment on the show where you could

120
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: just hear the power of her voice and the piano

121
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 4: mixed in. It was a sensational moment.

122
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: Give me a million, giving me a million reasons about

123
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: a million reasons.

124
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 5: But had a hallway, I.

125
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Would run for the hill. You found a.
