0:00.0	Hi friends, welcome to another episode of that sounds fun. I'm your host Annie F.
0:18.9	Dowsett. I'm so happy to be here with you today. We have got a great show in store today
0:25.2	on the show from Destiny's Child. Michelle Williams is here. You guys, y'all know her. She's a Grammy
0:32.1	award-winning recording artist and an actor from all of our favorite girl groups, Destiny's Child.
0:38.9	Am I right? I mean, it was Destiny's Child and Dixie Chicks for me, everybody. Most recently,
0:43.8	she appeared as the butterfly on Fox's hit series, The Masked Singer, which is awesome. She has
0:48.8	solo albums. She's been on Broadway. She's just incredible. And her new book is called Checking In,
0:55.5	How Getting Real About Depression, Saved My Life and Can Saviors. It is out tomorrow. And I really

1:39.7	because the basis of my questions are all around what I got to read and checking in. Michelle,

1:51.9	because so much of your story, we can see so much by googling, right? And just by living on the
1:59.2	planet, the last 20 years of you being a public person is man. Why go deeper into a book? Why not
2:06.4	let it go, especially about depression? Why did it have to be a book? Because I was already
2:12.9	talking about it since like 2012. And then when so much of my life was public in 2018, I was like,
2:23.9	let me do this to make impact. Let me also do this for the nosy people.
2:28.0	Right. And because it's something, the topic of depression is definitely talked about more.
