[@salishseaquest7952]

Best Interview with Cynthia that I've seen. What an amazing person with so many lessons to share! Beautiful!!

[@lisacoopergavin]

The most powerful statement for me (21:14) is that she "is not waiting for anyone to see me." It's for us to see ourselves and not always see ourselves "thru someone else's lenses". Time to make some serious changes in my life!

[@kithalie]

It’s so beautiful to see someone so in touch with themselves in such a pure and authentic way. So inspiring 🩵

3:24 if she sang the verse of The Wizard And I ‘did that really just happen?’ that would be funny as hell 😂 she’s such a warm person to be around istg ❤

[@KawaiiKandikidPLURR]

Her and ari must’ve went on an mdma trip together or something.

[@liv5790]

Look at the body language between these two.. same hand movements and mimicing gestures...

[@reignwithjoshsmith]

That's what good communicators do, right?

[@norijean3279]

I've been to two screenings of Wicked and each time people got so emotional, I heard adult males moan and cry... I don't know if there are many films that can do that 🙏🏻
