Summary

Jada Pinkett Smith describes realizing that spirit, not intellect, must lead and learning to cultivate an inner relationship with "the Great Supreme" during a pivotal awakening in her 40s marked by suicidal thoughts. She conveys needing to continually peel away familiar dysfunction and chaos to uncover deeper truth and wholeness. Pinkett Smith admits feeling below zero in self-worth despite external successes, as talents and capabilities couldn't feed her soul's authentic longing to be loved for who she is. Her journey now focuses on rehabilitating core beliefs, accepting imperfections, and recognizing the eternal nature of healing and transformation.
