Welcome to the Learn True Health Podcast. I'm your host Ashley James. This is

episode 3.22. I am so excited for today's interview. We have with us Kara Brookings who, if you've seen her video through

YouTube or Facebook, you probably were like me and bald your eyes out.

I couldn't believe it.

I think it was about a year ago I saw her video for the first time that someone made a video about her and her story and it was so

Inspiring. I said we've got to get her on the show and here we are today's the day welcome to the show

Thanks so much Ashley. I'm excited to be here absolutely now you now since your story and I don't I don't want to give way too much because I want you to tell your story, but since your story, you now have a major motion film being made about your life, about your family's life and I really want to know what actress is going to play you and

I know you can't tell us but I'm just saying it's it's so exciting to turn around and go I can't believe that a

Hollywood star is playing my life in a major motion film.

It's such a strange thing you know you see these actresses all the time and you think oh that would be me in a movie but when you're actually playing that out in your real life, you know, it's bizarre. We'll be watching a movie and my kids will be like, oh my gosh, my movie mommy is in this one.

So it's a strange thing and I can't wait to be able to share it as soon as the studio announces will be able to announce but obviously they don't want me to kind of steal their big announcement thunder so I have to you know keep my lips tight but it's exciting and it is scary too to have a movie made about your life and to know like it's not going to be the full and total truth.

It's going to be the Hollywood version.

Right. And to just imagine like how that plays out in your own life. it's going to be the Hollywood version. Right?

And to just imagine like how that plays out in your own life and how people see that.

And hopefully it all comes away with sort of the mission I went into it with was knowing, okay, we can't focus on the truth.

What we have to focus on is the message, right?

That when I wrote a book about my story or when I tell my story from a stage, there's a certain way I want people to feel about it.

And I want them to walk away feeling not like, oh, her story is cool or what she did is neat, but I want them to walk out feeling like oh my gosh if she can do that and she seems

completely inept then I can do this totally big thing that I have in mind for my life.

And if people walk out in the movie feeling that way,

then that's a win.

And that's exactly why I have you here today.
