I love how it's less of an interview and more like a genuine conversation.
The authenticity that plays out in these conversation is super endearing. Kelly is a natural.

I have a feeling Kelly has ADHD. People say she talks over people, but I honestly think her mind is moving a thousand miles an hour and she’s just really excited to conversate. I can get the same way and people will say something to me about it and it feels like it comes out of left field haha. I loved this convo - their energies work well together and you can tell there’s such a mutual respect.

That woman is full of love in her heart. Kelly has such pure heart, the way she interact with her fans on her shows or every where she goes, like to talking to a friend. She is such a natural connector. And these two known each other for 20 years.

Great interview!
I love Whoopi Goldberg! She is awesome!
I don't want to know this world without Whoopi. As a kid of the '80s, she was one of the most fascinating people to me. Her stand-up specials are incredible with her portrayals of different characters, The Color Purple changed me as a person and it was HER embodiment over the story, I got to find incredible humor in Sister Act during a time of grief, her short nighttime talk show was spectacularly intimate and charming, and her books have been spiritual guides through her absolute wit, insight, and charm. She's an oracle, she really knows humanity and can communicate it in so many different ways.
Both ladies are so candid and comfortable with this discussion. Thank you both for your honesty. 🙏🏽🙏🏽First time watching Kelly and I’m really impressed with her style. Very authentic and engaging. Plus, love me some Whoopi!!!❤❤❤
I really enjoyed this interview! So much fun!
Those two ladies are the most authentic people in the entertainment industry that I know of. Kelly has not only got one of the most magical voices but her ability to host a talk show and engage her guests is a gift that is parallel to none. Her ability to carry the conversation is so effortless and enticing that her guests are always willingly engrossed. Now Whoopi on the other hand when engaged will pull out all the stops. She is effortlessly a one woman show. Both ladies have hearts of gold and that is why I have an unwavering respect and love for them.

I really enjoyed this segment of your interview with Whoopi and the start with your weight hit home and how I really have let myself go. I’ve gone through so much that even trying to figure out things has been difficult. After listening to you brought tears because I feel like I don’t notice anything until now but am afraid with even dealing with people outside my apartment. I love listening to your music and seeing Whoopi on the View but feel trapped in a body that wants to live…. I don’t know what is safe nor to go about it. I’ve never think of myself as much and felt I am more uncomfortable with my life….. I really need to open up but it’s hard.

You are not alone. Seriously. Reading your comment was like reading my biography. I literally use to hate seeing the sun come up because it meant facing another day. Guess what? After being told I was two decimal points away from being a diabetic, the fear of jabbing myself with insulin shots everyday was greater than my self-loathing and fears of taking a chance on life. I stopped spending my days watching others live their lives, on KZread vlogs and glamorous Instagram pics, and literally started taking one step at a time walking around my neighborhood. At first, when cars passed by, I held my head down in shame because I was self-conscious about letting myself get that big. I could barely tie my shoe strings properly-most times I stuffed them in my shoes. But, as time went on, I picked up the pace, and began watching what I ate. I took a drug similar to Ozempic just for a month. It did wonders! Seeing that boosted my confidence to stay on course. There’s a shortage on all those drugs (for us regular people) but I’ve still kept up my diet and exercise. Now I can tie my shoes comfortably, bend, squat, and run around my neighborhood -with my head held high! Do I still struggle still? Yes! I enrolled in therapy. You gotta talk to someone. You can lose all the weight you want and still feel mentally fat, stuck, and unworthy. I’m doing the inner work. And, it isn’t easy. I have setbacks, but my steps up outweighs the bad. I now feed myself on the things I love to do but was always too scared or too big to do it. Every time I checked off a box, it gives me hope, emotional independence, and encouragement. Life ain’t over till it’s over. Remember that. You have a right to live in this world just like anybody else; so, go do it! ❤
