Kelly Clarkson: Small-Town Starts, F-You Attitudes, & Combating Industry Standards

[@azeldajoubert2528]

My 13 year old son looked at me 2 weeks ago and told me it made him sad that I always tell them that they are perfectly perfect as them selves but I can't even look at myself as just me without wanting to be or look different. It shook me, literally to my very core. I cleaned out my closet of all the things I wear but hate, and saved my head. I will learn to live the life I encourage my children to strife for.

[@tanjat]

OMG that totally made me cry! Every single day I tell my son the same but it feels so difficult to give myself the same grace. But I am working on it!

[@lolybiol]

Way to go! Keep shining!

[@Nbrbsa]

Powerful, thank u for sharing.

[@jonnyboy7762]

That is so beautiful, we all need to love ourselves. Your so worth it and you be more present for our families.

[@sunshine3914]

Whenever I see a child with makeup on, I can’t help but think the mom is saying ( without saying ) “You’re not good enough the way you are.”.

[@sinthiafs]

I am so surprised that Mayim has this perception of herself! For me, she's always been an example of woman who besides of being talented and hardworking, remained true to her own values. I hope someday she'll be able to see herself the same way we all see her...

[@happix-mo4441]

YESSSSS she's always seemed like a Boss to me.

[@anabaird3835]

Ikr? I was just thinking "All those talents, super brainy and she can sing, too? Who IS THIS Mayim person? 8th wonder of the world?? 🤯. I dont mean to sound like I worship her or anything weird like that, but she IS, und ExtRaOrdiNary.🤯.

[@kyrilascully7828]

Mayim, your self-perception reminds me of my own. I also had thyroid issues--Graves Disease that flipped into Hashimoto's at menopause. I have to ask you to ask yourself (you need not be accountable to me!) what happened in your childhood that might have triggered that negativity about yourself? I had a narcissistic mother who constantly complained about everything about myself. I was very creative and talented but my mother would say, who ever told you you could sing/act/write? Well, Gene Roddenberry, for one, and other famous writers for another, and other actors and singers. But I couldn't hear their voices because my mother's voice was the loudest and most constant. My mother simultaneously wanted to live through me and was completely jealous of me and did everything she could to prevent me from having any success. So I've struggled with my self-perception and can't really accept compliments to this day and I'm pushing 70.

Yes, exactly!!

I actually appreciate Mayim's reaction to the practically perfect self acceptance and self awareness that Kelly exudes. Both Mayim and Kelly are great at authenticity.

[@kensi613]

This truly was one of the best interviews, not just of Kelly, but of any celebrity, I have ever heard! It's so refreshing to hear someone be so open and honest and not say what they (or their publicists) think we (as the viewing public) want or should hear. This is why I have always adored Kelly, she just is who she is and screw anybody that doesn't like it! Thank you for such a phenomenal interview.

I. Love Kelly!!!

[@sharoncantrell5502]

From one eating dysmorphic intelligent woman to another, I would like to say, at the end of the day, it's how you feel about yourself. Not a compliment nor demeaning comment means a crap. You are a child if God. Beautiful! Remember beauty is only skin deep but ugly is to the bone!!!

[@slvrangel22]

I love that Kelly isn't glammed up for this. She is gorgeous. And what makes these Breakdown podcasts special is that we get to see celebrities as people. She isn't Kelly Clarkson the entertainer right now. She is Kelly Clarkson the human being. I watched the one with Oliver Hudson and Will Wheaton and Kunal. We got to see them being themselves along with their vulnerability. The world needs this. The world needs to remember that celebrities are people first. Intelligent human beings as that. It is humbling. We see celebrities on talk shows but it's not like this. It is staged and mostly a PR stunt. Furthermore we are learning about ourselves through all of this. ❤💖

Mayim your physical size doesn’t matter your mind makes you attractive even during blossom you were not the usually look being shown on tv but your confidence maybe when u were a child worked for u.

Mayim, im 68. It breaks my heart that you don’t see yourself as many of us see you. You are so amazing to reach the large range of ages in your audience. I just want to place my healing hands on your head and infuse empowerment and truth of who you are. You shine! I am so excited about your show. I love your honesty. The industry standard is so fake.

I think the difference between these two strong women and their self-confidence is the age when they began working in the industry. Although K was just out of high school, there is a vast difference between a 19-year-old's and a 12-year-old's ability to stand up and learn to set boundaries. M probably had to do what she was told to do a lot more while in the public eye. I love both of these strong ladies and wish them well.

I've been a fan since those days, when we had to wait every week to see/experience the next show, and we had commercials!! LOL...I was rooting for you, the whole season! You are NOT lazy. You were staying in your car to pursue your dream, and your hard work and dedication earned your title of the Original American Idol. You are AMAZING!!!

[@tammy8309]

Mayim, even if you don't think you are on the same popularity train, which you are, look at all the people you have reached, helped, touched, and lifted up, just by seeing/hearing you. In all you have done, your energy lifts people. It's not about what you wear, or how you look. You are beautiful, just the way you are. We create with our thoughts, the more you allow yourself to be in a place of self-doubt, worry, and fear, the more you create. When you know that happiness has nothing to do with any other human on the planet, it is simply where you allow your thoughts in the moment. You can then choose to consciously take your thoughts to things that make you smile and happy instead. Create a new habit. Then you too can have the Kellytude and the inner power and peace. Also, when you think something and your gut goes icky, that is your internal guidance telling you that your thinking wrong. Consciously correct that. So, live consciously, connect with your higher self, and be yourself authentically. Laughter, playfulness, joy these are good things you bring to people, please see how you lift people, and get excited. Life is as good as you choose it to be. Abundant blessings to you always. Much love.

[@ingridbeentjes9974]

Totally agree with Kelly 100% !!! Back here in the Philippines we do have an expression that says, "DEADMAH" which means something like "I'm dead to care too much right now". We all have a space in this world and we do must give importance on the time we go through and process things, be it good or bad. And I am so loving it the way Kelly has this "deadma" attitude towards things that she strongly feels that is not beneficial on her process on some things.

[@marisamartinezolivera]

I ask you the same that Kelly asks you here: WHY? Why a cool, witty, intelligent, beautiful with “sexy calves” (as you say) but definitely gorgeus and sexy woman can feel so bad for herself? I couldn’t agree more with Jonathan and Kelly, dear Mayim! We love you the way you are. Because you’re able (and this is very, very difficult to achieve) to show us in a wonderfully raw but sincere way, the natural beautiful inside-out of you. And there’s a big amount of beauty there! Period. Head and soul up, my dear! You worth tons of 💎💎💎💎! Waiting what Beverly has to say about this! In the meantime, thumbs up for my fav woman! 👍🏼💜💜 And btw, all your dresses at Emmy’s red carpet were gorgeous, but you in that electrical blue at 2014 ceremony were STUNNING!!! 💙

[@Historian212]

Sometimes, people can be told all these things repeatedly (as Mayim has been), but aren't able to hear it. Because of prior experience as a child, life stress, and other reasons. There are non-medication techniques for addressing this via the body (because the intellect has little to do with it), that Mayim can try when she's ready. Because you have to be ready -- it's not for the fainthearted. I hope she will.

[@marisamartinezolivera]

It's the world that has the problem with anybody who doesn't act "normal." I hope to meet her one day and see what kind of conversation comes out of it.

[@stacyhawkins2947]

Two of my favorite talkers, talking to each other...am I in heaven?? Please do this again.

[@corkycobon1481]

I loved Kelly before but I seriously am grooving on her more now. Thank you for a great show!

[@heidiklessard8440]

I don't know what it is but Mayim makes me laugh so hard. I can't get enough of her dry sense of humor. Her singing KC song the way she did 🤣 Love you Mayim. Don't change your sparkle, intellect, humility & authentic ways ✨

[@frenchbutter]

Thank you Kelly C for acknowledging how expensive the health industry can be and how it really is only accessible to people with a certain amount of money.

[@joanneosborne2428]

Mayim and Kelly are both the best human beings. This was the best interview. It was so down to earth and beautiful. I could have listened to them both talk all day. Mayim, please listen to Kelly!!! You are so beautiful and talented and smart and just a badass and we love you just the way you are!!!

[@lauriepelayo296]

I loved the whole episode. I have self-esteem issues too and have a hard time taking compliments. So great to see Kelly working to empower you to understand you're an amazing person. This coming from someone who has a hard time not worrying about everything I say or do all the time. Keep these wonderful podcasts coming and try not to be so hard on yourself.

[@zemiq1982]

I think so much like Mayim. I need Kelly's voice in my head to keep me in line! Also, I love both of you, and Kelly is 100% right about you Mayim... you're amazing!

[@MarleneAug2010]

OMG I didn’t know these podcasts were on KZbin 🥰 I love Kelly Clarkson. I think this is my 5th time listening to this one. Mayim, I discovered your podcast when I heard Kelly was on it. I am learning so much about mental health. Listen to Kelly, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You’re extremely educated, intelligent, funny, beautiful and have such a great personality. Keep up the good work!

[@erinoconnor4083]

I couldn’t agree with Kelly more. You are all the things and more she mentions. I love how down to earth you all are. We as the public love this more down to earth side than what Hollywood thinks we want to see. Please keep being who you are. You both are beautiful people.

[@laurinlatour4246]

Watched Kelly from the beginning. Proud of my fellow Texan.

[@stacyfabiszewski4633]

I'm a huge fan of Kelly Clarkson , I have been watching her since IDOL, she is inspiration for me, she is so sweet, down to earth and so real. I have learned so much in this interview, Kelly and Mayim are so much a like. It's definitely not a bad thing. Mayim you are so loved and beautiful and so is Kelly. Mayim, please don't think badly about yourself, you are amazing. This interview was way too short, I could listen to you guys talk for hours and hours. I am such a Huge fan of both of yours, and I follow you both constantly. I love you both so much. I understand and stand by you and what you both believe in . It's so nice to see you both in the real you, no glam, just being your true authentic selves. You both are so powerful women. I love you both so much. Keep being yourselves.

[@MsAllthenamesaretake]

Best example of 'celebrities are real people too'. Really appreciate the vulnerability shown by you all.

[@kittycatmommy2364]

I just saw this video and I have to tell you Kelly Clarkson is awesome! She is an amazing down-to-earth person ......and I'm 68 and when I grow up I want to be just like her! LOL As I get older and have developed self-esteem I have started to speak up for myself and not care what other people think. I have respect for other people's opinion even if I don't agree with them. Listen, everyone has an opinion and if somebody doesn't want to agree with me that's fine I don't care, I just would like them to respect me for my opinion. It's a hard thing to do but as long as you develop a positive attitude and Learn To Love Yourself fully for who you are you can change how you feel about yourself. Kelly's attitude is genuine and priceless. Truly best interview ever!😍

[@LESLEYMOSER]

Amen, sister!!! Be the change the industry....our daughters need!! Thank you, Kelly!!!

[@mmiller1011]

My Dear Dr Bialik, I cried with you on this interview. I too look good on paper (at a much less accomplished level) but feel otherwise. It is something I have worked on all my life. Consider this. What if “you are enough?” (BTW you are, we all are) Sit and think about only that. “I am enough”. How would you live differently? Kelly was great. I really liked how she opened up. The switch happened when her TX accent came out. 😂 I have so much to share with you. I love this show. Keep going. It is so authentic, real, vulnerable, brave and inspiration for introspection. I loved Amy Ferra Fowler but I love even more this window to the amazing, real, multidimensional woman you are. Keep going. You truly are enough. Thank you for putting yourself, not just a character, so authentically in the public eye. I applaud and appreciate your courage. ❤ from Texas.

[@bluebutterflywellness2273]

This was SO powerful and relatable on SOO many levels! I literally had to change my life around to avoid taking meds, and it is still a whole comittment, especially now that social and recreational interaction is becoming a thing again. I also agree that wellness is an elitist and unattainable luxury for those who most need it and shouldn't be.

[@leannemitchem8865]

I just saw this in my feed and was very curious because 1 Mayim is one of my favourite actress since Blossom and 2 Kelly is one of my favourite singers. Then hearing Mayim talk about her feels made me think of my own. I understand how you feel however you have it soooooo much worse because you are in the public eye. But I think that 99% of the public think you are awesome. You are kick ass smart, you are over the top hilarious and you are very naturally beautiful. Your smile is infectious. Love your new show for that reason. You are awesome. Don’t let yourself (or anyone else) tell you any different. 😘 love you girl!!!!

[@yvonnevanhek5199]

I loved this podcast. The first that I knew about Kelly Clarkson was when you went on her show, and she came across as a genuine woman with practical life knowledge beyond her age (I'm too in my over-thinking head to be) and I admire her. This was a very interesting and joyful podcast as I learned about positive attitude (which I'm working on) plus giving herself unconditional care. Very insightful, this is the best podcast so far. Best wishes until next Tuesday.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 2 months old and have been taking medication for it. It's been stable for many years. Had it checked a short time ago and it was normal. Now in my mid 50's and going through menopause so the hormones and mood swings are at an all-time high which I hate and little to no energy.

[@sunshinecity8351]

What an honest conversation! I could listen to Kelly and Mayim chat all day… we need more of these two together.

[@tiller6750]

When Kelly talked about auditions behind a veil, it reminded me of when I was in college. I was a music major and we had a saying, "If you look good, you play good. Even if you don't play good, you still look good."

[@markboron5581]

I was obsessed with Meaning of Life and think it is the best work she has done yet.... but this next album, the breakup album if you will..... is gonna be amazing with all the feels!! Great interview

[@crystalroberts6978]

Mayim, your vulnerability and rawness is so admirable and watching you tonight in this episode will definitely keep me coming back. Your realness is a true strength and whether you realize it or not gives me strength in my time of weakness. thank you for being you, Miss Mayim and Miss Kelly! 💛⚓🌲💛

[@Randompotatoes-qs7bm]

I love Kelly clarkson. Her music is bomb and she’s always seemed so genuine.

[@tiffanyburns681]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!! I could listen to your word of the day(s) over and over. I'm a bologist ang agriculturalist and you make my heart happy. Thank you for all of this. The spiritual, scientific, and mental information that you share is spectacular! You have a gift, you are wonderful, and I am grateful for you. I am studying in England and I'm home visiting my parents (painting their house) and I am listening to you while I work - and you are changing my life. Thank you.

[@shabytin]

Oh, Kelly and Mayim! I adore you both!!! This was so much fun!

[@emiliaumana272]

Mayim, I want to thank you for being so open about how you view yourself, I feel it is similar to what I experience. To hear you talk and articulate all these things I could not say, it is liberating and makes me feel better. Me calentó el corazoncito. Gracias Mayim.
