Hey there, Girls Talk listeners. I'm Dr. Kira Dockery, the chief clinical advisor here at Girls Talk.

Before we roll into this week's episode, I just wanted to pop on here to remind you, as always, that you are not alone.

In these very trying times, we are holding space for difficult and complex feelings. We hope you'll visit

us at girls talk.com to find resources to help you, your friends, and your family cope. Okay,

now back to the podcast. Inspired by my own journey with mental health, I founded Girls Talk, our own safe space where we share, listen and support each other.

So get cozy and join me.

Adjua Burr for some much-needed girls' talk.

Today I'm excited to have Maddie Ziegler on the podcast.

Maddie has grown up in the spotlight from dance mums to starring in Sears music videos

to her most recent roles on the big screen.

Maddie has been in the industry for so much of her life and needless to say it hasn't

always been easy but I'll let Maddie tell you about it hi stunner how are you

i'm good how are you good where are you in l a i'm in new york right now okay nice where are you

in london amazing and you're 20 aren't you you? Yeah. Yeah, which is mad.

I just kind of like doing the bits of research that I did and getting the script together with the questions together with Haley and Eve.

It just is mad to me that you've been in the spotlight for such a long time.

It's been forever, really.

I only remember my life working, which is wild.

What star sign are you?

I'm a Libra.

Libra.

And what's your relationship with work?
