00:00As we've talked about your journey and in self-discovery, even in this conversation, I do want to ask you one word or adjective that describes your makeup, how God wired you, how you're made.
00:12One word or adjective.
00:13Oh, wow.
00:15How God made me.
00:18Sensitive.
00:20Sensitive.
00:22You carry the sensitivity with a sense of calmness.
00:25Like, yes, from the moment I met Terry, I was actually very kind of shocked.
00:28Because I've seen the other characters you play on TV and sometimes even relate the character to the person.
00:33So when I met you the first time some years ago, I was like, she's so calm and centered and sweet.
00:39And this industry can be nuts.
00:41Like, let's just be honest.
00:42Like, it can be volatile.
00:43Yeah.
00:44How do you stay grounded in your calm amidst all of the things that encompass this industry, especially because you're in front of and behind the camera?
00:55You experience energies on both eyes.
00:57For me, I think it's always just been in perspective that my career, my work, I love.
01:03But it is my career, my work.
01:05It's my job.
01:06And I use my job to make a difference, to be a voice, to represent.
01:11But myself, my person, my kids, my husband, my mom, my sister, my grandma, that's my foundation.
01:22I'm so blessed because I get to really live out fully in both sides of my life.
01:29And I don't want to not have either one.
01:32Yeah.
01:32Um, so my, my life is very chaotic.
01:36It's very messy and chaotic because I got three kids.
01:39I got a husband and I have a wonderful career that I love.
01:44Um, so my time for me, my, my meditation, my prayer, like I have an altar set up in my closet where I pray and meditate every day.
01:58There's something about that closet.
02:00Every day.
02:01Every day.
02:01Um, and it's really important for me.
02:05I have to do that.
02:07Um, and just, just really valuing this.
02:13Yeah.
02:13You know, I love connection.
02:16Yes.
02:16Yeah.
02:16I love sharing.
02:18I love understanding.
02:21So, yeah.
02:21So connection with people and feelings.
02:23And that's why when you ask me, nobody's ever asked me that before, an adjective that describes myself.
02:28So, um, that's why I said I feel like sensitive is one.
02:32Yeah.
02:32And not sensitive like I'm, like.
02:35Fragile.
02:35Yeah.
02:36Not, not that sensitive.
02:37Sensitive and I feel.
02:39Like, I feel your energy.
02:41Yeah.
02:42I feel a connection.
02:43I feel love.
02:44I feel, and I like to, I like.
02:46Give it.
02:46You give it back.
02:47Yeah.
02:48You give it back.
02:48When I hug you.
02:50You may feel it.
02:51I mean it.
02:52If I'm going to hug you, I'm going to mean it.
