- I wanna talk about the book
because it really is--
and we can see
a transformation,
and you have written this book
because you kind of
empowered yourself,
but--explain
how this got started.
- Well, I was going through,
like, a difficult time
in my life
and everyone kept
coming up to me saying,
"How did you get through..."
either a divorce
or your father's death
or just everything,
"and you're still
so optimistic,
"and how did you
turn such negatives
"and try to make them positive,
"and still have a positive
outlook on life,"
and I still have kind things
to say about my ex or whatever,
and it really
just prompted me, like,
I feel like if I have a platform
that could help better some--
even just one person,
than I feel like
that's what my platform
should be for...
- Mm-hmm.
- And I just felt like
it was the right time,
and the crazy thing is
as much as I'm--I went through
everything that was dramatic
and I feel like your scars
make you better
and tell a better story in life,
but this book is very much
what I'm living right now,
and if this would have happened,
I think, two years ago,
I don't know if
I would have been strong enough
to even know--have the tools
to deal with...
- Mm-hmm.
- What I'm dealing with now
or be able
to balance everything.
- Mm-hmm.
- So, it's just really ironic
that I'm promoting this book,
but I'm actually, like,
living what I wrote about.
- Well, and you've
taken care of yourself
and I went through
a similar thing where I was
in a very low point in my life
and didn't wanna
leave the house.
Didn't wanna do anything, and
I forced myself to go to the gym
just to do something,
and that made me feel better,
and I just started, you know,
accidentally getting...
- Right.
- In better shape, but I went
to feel--and that's ex--that's
what happened to you.
- That's exactly--I wasn't
just a depression,
but also I did not know
what to do with all the anxiety,
and it became a healthy
obsession and I felt so great.
- Yeah, and it's called
"Strong Looks Better Naked,"
and there's a lot of wonderful
ideas and about being kind.
My book is--it's similar.
- [chuckles]
- It's just--mine is
"Naked Looks Better Clothed."
- [laughs]
- And it's...
different.
