I needed this today. I am 30 years old, working 2 full time jobs, a full time student, loosing my apartment, struggling in my marriage, struggling to feel beautiful and successful and every day is difficult for me to keep going. Sometimes it's to hard to just smile and keep it moving and to see someone as beautiful and successful as miss Tarajii admitting to the same struggle makes me feel like it is okay to not be okay and that it will get better. Thank you so much.
Rooting for you from a far. As someone 13 years older who has had my fair share of struggles, I want to encourage you. Keep going sis. There’s so much greatness in the other side of all this. He didn’t say weapons wouldn’t form; he said they wouldn’t prosper. Here’s to 2023 blowing your mind with greatness ❣️
Sending love and prayers I needed to see this because I'm almost 30 and sometimes I feel lost and hearing 💔 people that go through this and overcome obstacles gives me hope
She's fighting to find a husband is what she means and probably won't find it because she chose the whoring life instead of the fruitful married life. And now the reward is given to her
Literally same, I have been saying this to myself for the past month as I've come up out of my depressive episode but still wasn't feeling happy. We have to seek it within and outside ourselves because there are forces around that don't want us to be happy. WE FIGHTIN FOR OUR FUCKIN LIVES AND WE WINNIN
I am crying so hard with her when she said whose gonna lift me up? I felt this so hard and I feel for you Taraji. Being human is hard sometimes no matter how much success a person has. Love your vulnerability and how real she is. Peace & Love Taraji
I can't imagine what they go thru. And it's not like they just just say ok I don't want to do this anymore I'm going back to being a normal social citizen... That should suck
I am Taraji. Taraji is me. We are tired. Being THAT person for everyone around us is tiring because oftentimes we're left alone with people believing we're alright. I took a trip to Bali earlier this year and it was so magical. I didn't want to leave and actually cried when it was time to come back home. I totally get where she's coming from. She's mentally and emotionally exhausted. God bless her with the wisdom to know what to do next...
This made me Teary Eyed. I'm feeling the exact same way Taraji. Being human is really hard sometimes. *Peace, Healing and Love to everyone reading this.* ❤
What I have always loved about Taraji is her realness! She is her. She's not afraid of showing the good, bad, and ugly. Taraji is the shit to me. Always have been. Love her! This also shows that money really can't buy happiness.
Omg I cried .... she spoke what I've been feeling for some time and couldn't put in words .. "I gotta find my happiness and it's not a man, nor family or friends" .. Taraji you not alone 🥺
I watched a sermon just last night where the pastor explained everyone is fighting for their lives right now….especially if they are conscious. It’s a never ending battle of spiritual warfare and it’s so comforting hearing someone openly relate. I thought it was just me drowning in darkness and fighting to find the light. This was much needed and completely unexpected. Thank you for not cutting it!!
Taraji is my favorite. Accolades for her acting should continue and increase. Also, the work she is doing in and for the mental health community, as a Black woman, is essential, incredibly impactful & increasingly important. Thank you Taraji & Angie for this engaging dialogue ✨️🪷🌻💚
Angie has always had this gift that allows people to be vulnerable in her presence. Salute to both of you ladies for giving us a window into your hearts.
My ONLY critique of this interview is that is wasn’t long enough. I was like WAIT it’s ending NO! This was much needed and I love you both even more. Thank you for the transparency!🖤
Taraji is in a safe space. I’ve been here before with no one to talk to. Journaling Helped Me A Lot. Write it down. Be kind to yourself. Show up for yourself. Breathe. Rest. Recover. I needed this … thank you❣️
As a fellow Virgo. I applaud her. We are natural cheer leaders because we want to bring everyone up to to our level of confidence, excitement, and joy. But before you know it people have drained the life out of you. What she is going to learn on that trip is the key to her happiness is managing who she distributes her energy too so she has some left for herself. And F that job was the first taste of it lol.
@@Mt-zs4tr Understanding, it’s important to not take things so personal from us because all we’re trying to do is help with what we know. To everyone else we are “know it alls” but in all honesty we are just very analytical, seeing things that others may not. Speak up when interacting with a Virgo, it’ll help us not be so overbearing. Sometimes we need someone to say, “it’s cool I got it”. Calms our nerves lol.
You can tell she’s hurting bad. Throughout this whole video you can tell she’s pushing back tears. Great interview. I think a lot of people are growing through this feeling. I don’t know what’s going on in the world right now, but something is really making people depressed like never before.
We’re leaving in a very unjust world right now. People are not respectful; caring; thoughtful; just; family oriented & honest like 30 - 40 years ago. Neighborhoods have evolved; people wanna kill each other instead of fist fighting & end it all there. & in America we’re all so racially divided.. it’s gotta get better!!!! Also there more mental health illnesses & issues in our communities & no help for people with those disorders!!!
It’s people giving themselves to everything but the Most High God & seeing how empty this life is. Nothing tangible was made to complete us & feel whole. It is only God himself. Riches, success, people & everything is an outlet. Never will it fulfil
hope you okay ...just want to let you know its normal to feel off sometimes .... just take it one step at a time you will be okay .......I know they say men don't cry but its help sometimes.
You will get yourself through this difficult time, not God. You're responsible for yourself, your strength, your willingness to move forward. Trust in you, yourself, not God.
Ohhhhh my gosh Taraji is speaking EVERY WORD of my inner being ! She’s speaking EVERY word of how I feel! Lord give me the strength to endure all obstacles!!!
This has been my favorite interview so far! They’ve all been great but this one was another level. Taraji was speaking facts and her realness was so relatable.
This interview was definitely God ordained, as I sit here with tears in my eyes Tired and ready to give up this video gives me so much hope and let’s me know that God is still in control . I pray for everyone watching this and feeling defeated, you are not alone ! We will all get thru this
May the angels of the Lord cover you with grace and impart unto you strength in Jesus name! May God’s grace strengthen your faith until is it pure gold! You are covered in the name of Jesus
I started to tear up when Taraji said she hasn't been truly happy in a long time. I pray that God continues to bless her and protect her. I also hope that the Bali trip helped her. She really dropped some gems, especially when talking about being connection to God. Thank you Angie.
Damn I Gained An Even Greater Respect For Taraji For Being So Honest And Strong. So Many Ppl Need To See This Interview Because The Whole World Needs Healing Man🙏🏽🖤
I so understand where Taraji is coming from. I'm trying my best to rebound from the lowest point in my life and I can tell you that I'm learning so much about myself, others and the world. I'm focusing on personal discovery and growth, and I've had to basically shut the whole world out in order to get down to the nitty gritty of it all. That trip Taraji has planned is going to do a world of good. I hope she's able to stay longer if more time is needed beyond the 30 days. Self-care is KEY because I've been so guilty of emptying my tank, trying to care for everyone and leaving nothing for myself. Praying for your strength, endurance, health and joy.
I’m so grateful to have chanced upon this interaction. I relate so much with everything Taraji shared. It’s inspiring to know someone like her is going through similar struggles like I am this moment. Thank you so much for this.
I lost my mama January 21, 2023. This year and the hurt and pain has been unbearable. Depression has been so so real since my mama passed away. The memories are what has been keeping me going through all of this. I'm grateful for everything the good and the bad. God is good and my faith shows every single day no matter the good and the bad I'm still here and I'm still standing.
I LOOVE that EGO lesson Taraji! Keeping it checked is the absolute truth. The point she made of *"look at the lives of everyone who said I'm the greatest and look how it ended"* .... Taraji paying attention. Love it.
Angie!! I gotta tell you, I’ve grown up with you and I LOVE this chapter you’re in. You are so great in this platform and I love these conversations! Thank you! Taraji, I pray your joy finds you 🙏🏾 sending you love!
Haven't finished yet but this feels heavy. In the beginning Angie seemed like she was trying to balance it out by being chipper but eventually she just let it happen. Excellent interviewer. Sometimes when we're depressed we want to be alone but that's when we need community the most. I pray Taraji is safe in Bali and comes back feeling a little rejuvenated and ready to take life on day-by-day.
“ I thought I was happy” man I am going through the exact same feeling! My therapist is told me happiness is only temporary. We can not chase happiness. Thank you for sharing Taraji! We all have shit. We tryna get through this shit. And shift shit. Sift through shit and we need honesty like this!
You’re not here to be greater than anyone else, you’re here to be YOU. There is no other you on this planet, and there is room for all of us to shine. Loved this interview 😊
There’s something about someone that truly loves you asking how you are. Baby, it taps right in to the core of you. Love that Taraji was so transparent. And I always love the care Angie shows with ALL of these conversations.
I am in tears . I can relate. The Enemy is so busy using the people close to you , to drain you, to attempt to block you from you reaching your fullest potential, etc. It takes courage to fight for the happiness and joy . That means you have to be in the present and be INTENTIONAL with your thoughts and your heart. SELF CARE is REAL!!! It is okay to block the noise out and take time for yourself. May Taraji enjoy her Eat PRAY LOVE journey in BALI 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This moment truly touched me. I could genuinely FEEL Taraji’s pain, but at the same time I felt her resilience! The pure desire to overcome. I’ve been there (especially in the last few years) I get it. The great thing is, she knows that a win is coming! See, when you’ve experienced disappointment, hurt, and stress before and have overcome that pain, you understand that it’s necessary in order to make you a better, stronger person. This interview was so necessary. It was filled with depth and thought-provoking conversation. Cheers to Taraji for doing the work and putting herself first. Angie did an amazing job conducting the interview per usual.
19:26 this is definitely a Virgo trait. ♍️ The empath, the energy reader, healer energy. We soak up other people's emotions and forget about ourselves. I hope Taraji finds true fulfilling peace and happiness in Bali. She's on a new journey and writing a new chapter in her life. Brilliant interview. 👏👏👏🇬🇧
Thank you for NOT cutting this. It was relatable in so many ways. Without being able to fully articulate in words what was felt after watching this interview….pure blessing to hit play. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
TARAJI: "At the end of the day, it is about Fighting for your JOY and finding it"💯 I totally feel that😭. Such a vulnerable conversation❤️. Phenomenal Actress, pray she gets her well deserved awards ✨💐💐 soonest.
I love how vulnerable and brave Taraji was in this interview. I have never seen the 2 qualities displayed together ❤️, truly powerful. May God bless you, cause this is true reflection of a powerful person 🙏
Yep working in and out of mental health for 30yrs I tap in when people say suicidal ideation because maybe they actually understand more of what suicidal thoughts really are because it's so many levels people really don't understand
I've had to watch this in a span of 3 days (tears would flow every few minutes). The conversation was so deep, so true, so real, and is sooooo me in my current season in almost every topic. This was a deep soul searching and healing conversation that I didn't know I needed and I will be forever grateful for this! Thank you and sending so much love to Taraji & Angie!
This interview changed my whole perspective going into a new year. I was literally taking notes! I didn't move from the TV even though I had to pee and I knew I could have paused it!! this interview had me stuck in a good way. I cried, laughed, prayed and made some new promises to myself. This interview will change so many lives. I'm soooo grateful for this 🙏🏾 We need this kind of vulnerability in our world.
Oh my gosh she got Taraji! Yessss!!! 😭🙌🏾. This for real made my whole day… I needed this. Life is hard but we gotta fight for joy and peace. I pray for God’s peace, joy and love to really fill her up. I pray her trip changes her for the better.
We all are suffering in some type of way. We have to take care of ourselves. I’m 50 and I just decided I have to do it for me. Be encouraged, Taraji! Thank you so much, Angie! This transparency is for all of us!❤
❤️I love Taraji and I needed this today. It's where I'm at as well. I worked 2 fulltime jobs and wasted years in the wrong relationship with a guy and I ignored the red flags and now making massive adjustments to live my best life.
LISTEN!!! When I tell you this BLESSED ME Ang!!!!! I’m in here, in tears with y’all! What an absolute blessing and beautifully honest, transparent, caring and empathetic vessel God has given us in Taraji…to remind us of not only who we are, but who HE (God) is!!!!! Ang, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this and what you too bring to and have shared with us! WOW, two amazing and beautiful inside and out women sharing, encouraging, affirming and edifying one another! My heart is truly full after watching this and now I think I’m gonna go take a shower and have a good gratitude release (cry), because THAT is what all this goodness has evoked! Continued blessings to you Ang! 🙏🏽❤️
This was so heartfelt. This was my sister and I lost her to suicide in 2016 . I never knew anything was wrong. I love you Taraji for sharing. I feel like I understand my sister thought process. I really wish she chose life ❤. We were separated as children and we were just starting to spend time with each other.
When she said “you are never alone” that comforted me a bit because it’s so easy to be stuck in a dump and you feel all sorts of ways and you doubt your feelings and experiences and think that you are the only one stuck and struggling , the anxiety of feeling like something is wrong with you for simply going through life because the world has done a great job of looking happy and that can be incredibly isolating
Watching this was like seeing myself in a mirror. I am a Virgo as well, so I definitely can relate to everything Taraji was saying and feeling. Especially about constantly overthinking and being known as “the strong one” from everyone around you while secretly fighting for your life everyday. This woman took my exact feelings and thoughts and expressed it in this interview. Thank you Taraji🫶🏾. And I love you more today than I did yesterday for this🫶🏾.
Angie, these interviews are needed! Thank you for creating a safe space for these persons to be vulnerable and shed the layers and open up. Truly beautiful Taraji... We are all in this together.
I thank Taraji for sharing this space with us and being real with us about where she is now in her journey. We need this and need to know it’s okay to not be okay, but to also take time to put is first to figure it out. I pray you find your peace Taraji and I also pray that everyone who reads this post find the inner peace and happiness they deserve as well.
This was such a needed conversation, such an inspiration. So brave to speak about not feeling 100%, it's so easy to say, "I'm great, I'm great". But not so easy to say, "No I'm not ok". This was so moving.
Angie is out here doing the Lord’s work man. Thank you for this interview. Taraji is a treasure. I’ve always felt like she always needs a hug. I can relate to how she feels and the internal battles she faces. She articulates it well and I’m glad she was so open about it. I pray that she finds the peace and happiness she seeks and that she is covered on her spiritual journey in Bali. 🙏🏾
I’m not a Virgo, I’m a Scorpio but she just explained my life down to growing up alone and talking to myself, to fighting for my joy everyday. I go in a store or the mall and I feel my mission is to make someone smile or uplift someone but when I get home I’m fighting my thoughts 😢..I’m so happy I’m not alone it gives me the strength to push forward and that’s exactly what I am going to do! Happy New Years everyone ❤
God bless happy New Years to everyone everything that you just said is me too and everything that taji spoke on is everything I can relate to everything I needed this it's like so much I'm so grateful so everyone I mean everyone I need to we're going to get through this by the grace of God faith hope alive we are strong we are survivors we will get through this God bless everyone thank you so much thank you all
I walk around with what I have been told are dancing eyes and a beautiful smile and I feel like I'm dying on the inside. I deserve an award. And I am an emotional cancer.
Whew She got me tearing up definitely being a Virgo and just turning 25 i felt this on a soul level i always loved me some Tarji but i love her even more after this❤
We are more alike than we think we are. The collective energy shows that we are all hurting in some way and it has just built over time. Thank you Taraji for always being completely real.
This was a honestly beautiful conversation. Friends that can speak on all parts of their life without judgement are so important. Thank you taraji for being vulnerable and honest and thank you Angie for providing a safe space to have these conversations.
This is one of the my best podcast episodes ever! I love T but I got to love her more today. So real and genuine. This wasn’t just an interview, it was a nice friendship conversation that was very relatable ❤️❤️
I also needed to hear this. She explained perfectly what bouts of depression look like for me. I'm fighting EVERY day to find my joy. It's great to know I'm not alone.
I just watched this clip and to say that at my age 60 years old Taraji made a very clear point on fixing yourself being happy for yourself financially, I’m not able to get away and go two hours anywhere but I know that I will figure it out and something that I desperately need Being able to tell my story, what a healing in my life being married to a man for almost 20 years and he up and just vanish walk out. You don’t know where he is. Numbers changed family won’t tell you anything you’re going crazy so I admire her story and I can pretty much see where she’s coming from butgetting over the pain as a working progress so thank you so much
I watched the Lauren London interview just before this. I understand you Taraji 100%. I am 22 and in 2021 I lost a close friend to suicide. This made me lose so much hope and when I started having ideations I lost a part of myself that I will never gain back. But it the darkness of the past year that led me to nourish my soul within. I feel like the Taraji and Lauren interviews go hand & hand. Yin & Yang. The darkness that brings you to light. Releasing the pains of the self and welcoming the healing that is universal love (which includes yourself, duh) 🥰 I have noticed a theme of going through struggles alone, and then speaking to multiple different people who are going through the same thing in a different font. Speaking up about our pain helps us share those glimmers of light that are the reason why we keep going. My reason is that I don’t want to pass on the same hopelessness that I felt when my friend passed away. I also have a strong desire to give my inner child the happiness they deserve. THANK YOU ANGIE MARTINEZ FOR ALLOWING YOURSELF AND YOUR GUESTS TO BE A SOURCE OF LIGHT. The world is going through it but we are entering a new consciousness.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am sorry for your heartbreak and celebrate the growth your friend generated in you. You take that love with you as fuel to light the way for the next. I pray you have support as you keep moving. Be well. #988
I was just in tears this entire interview omg it was just so amazing 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I pray that God continues to bless these 2 beautiful women on their journeys to whatever and wherever it may take them❤
I cried twice during this interview. Once for you and second for me. Thank you TPH for your transparency. God Speed in Bali. I look forward to your transcendence.
@jay Johnson factual.behind the make up the mouth and the lies at home when the crowd is gone this is the hard reality,and it doesn't have to be this way.
Damn only 5 mins in & already can tell Angie’s energy is up compared to her interview with Kim. Before anyone tries to tell me otherwise I get they’re separate interviews, but this def feels 💯 genuine. My fave interview thus far. Taraji appreciate your vulnerability. Praying you find your happiness 🙏🏽#TeamVirgo ♍️
😟 Also, 👀 WATCH: Lauren London, and Mary J. Blige's interview as well...WOW!!! AMAZINGLY POWERFUL...🙏😔🙏 These are the MOST important interviews of all times...GOD BLESS YOU MS., OUR BEAUTIFUL ANGIE!!! 😘 WE LOVE YOU, YOU ARE AN ICONIC 💎 GEM, and UNIQUELY CREATED BY GOD TO HELP THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE...🙏😇🙏 THANK-YOU FOREVER MS. ANGIE!!! PEACE BE WITH YOU...🙏😘🙏
Amazing conversation from two of our legends! Queen Taraji is so important to us and must be protected at all costs. We love you and your authenticity Taraji!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
People DO NOT fake depression. They fake happiness. We love you Taraji!!!

ME TOO!!! I just want to give her a hug
Same, everyday it’s a battle.
🤍
“I feel like I’m fighting for my life”
I felt that. 🥹
I feel that, every day.
Icould relate with that; fighting depression is not a joke
Seriously feel that every damn day
It’s a battle, showing up every working my emotions like a job.
Now y'all know what rkelly was talking about
I am crying so hard with her when she said whose gonna lift me up? I felt this so hard and I feel for you Taraji. Being human is hard sometimes no matter how much success a person has. Love your vulnerability and how real she is. Peace & Love Taraji
This!!!!!! Yesss!
I can't imagine what they go thru. And it's not like they just just say ok I don't want to do this anymore I'm going back to being a normal social citizen... That should suck
I felt that too 😮💨 sending you love.❤

Yes sis, being that person for everyone is so exhausting. Praying for all struggling with anything! 🙏🏽❤️
@@CadiKane Such an idiot.🫤🫤🫤
This made me Teary Eyed. I'm feeling the exact same way Taraji.
Being human is really hard sometimes. *Peace, Healing and Love to everyone reading this.* ❤
Same here! Sending those blessings right back to you!
Amen! Happy New Year! May God Be With All Of Us! God Blessed 💞 🙌
💁🏽♂️🔥
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Same blessings to you!!! Thank you
When she said “ she hasn’t been happy for along time” my heart broke for her. I feel the same way 🤍
I know the feeling.
I know the feeling 😢
Makes me wonder cause I'm 29 and I randomly go thru depression gets really dark sometimes and listening 2 someone older makes me wonder about myself
Me too.
I wholeheartedly agree 🤷🏽♀️ can’t remember the last time I felt genuinely happy about life in general. Sending you love 💕 & prayers with a hug 🫂
This is why Taraji is so great. She’s so humble talented and kind. And connected to her inner goodness, I love that.
What I have always loved about Taraji is her realness! She is her. She's not afraid of showing the good, bad, and ugly. Taraji is the shit to me. Always have been. Love her! This also shows that money really can't buy happiness.
Yes!!!! I absolutely agree!🙌🏽💜🙌🏽 I really, really love her and have such a deep respect, also for her.
❤

Omg I cried .... she spoke what I've been feeling for some time and couldn't put in words .. "I gotta find my happiness and it's not a man, nor family or friends" .. Taraji you not alone 🥺
Seek Joy my love. Happiness is temporary and easily destroyed by challenging life events.
Isn’t it crazy how we can feel exactly what others feel yet don’t even know what we were going through until others put it into words for us 😭
We are all connected…
Same here sis, praying you can find your happiness and peace as well!!
Amen 😢🎉
I watched a sermon just last night where the pastor explained everyone is fighting for their lives right now….especially if they are conscious. It’s a never ending battle of spiritual warfare and it’s so comforting hearing someone openly relate. I thought it was just me drowning in darkness and fighting to find the light. This was much needed and completely unexpected. Thank you for not cutting it!!
YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD MATTHEW 5:14-16 LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BEFORE OTHERS.THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD...
Please share the sermon
I would love to know what sermon that was if you don’t mind sharing. 💕🙏🏾
Definitely feeling the same. You are not alone!
I couldn’t find the exact sermon again but this one was also very good! I pray it helps you all ❤️

I think angie needed this interview just as much as we did ♥️
She definitely did
And so do I because I’m so sad
This woman Taraji will forever have my heart. Every time she speak I fall more in love with her. She’s so relatable and understanding
Yes.! 💯❤️
Yes!!!
Yeesss 🥹🩷👏🏽👏🏽
This interview and Lauren London were my two favorites. Sooo good and gems were dropped
The transparency and vulnerability is greatly appreciated. 💛✨ This was beautiful. Keep pushing Taraji. You’re such a light.
My ONLY critique of this interview is that is wasn’t long enough. I was like WAIT it’s ending NO! This was much needed and I love you both even more. Thank you for the transparency!🖤
Taraji is in a safe space.
I’ve been here before with no one to talk to.
Journaling Helped Me A Lot.
Write it down.
Be kind to yourself.
Show up for yourself.
Breathe.
Rest.
Recover.
I needed this … thank you❣️
I needed this what you said because I smile but my eyes look so sad
Thank you pulling key notes.

SAY IT LOUDER…
What does a virgo like in another person. Because damnnnn virgos know it all
Yessssss!!!!
@@Mt-zs4tr Understanding, it’s important to not take things so personal from us because all we’re trying to do is help with what we know. To everyone else we are “know it alls” but in all honesty we are just very analytical, seeing things that others may not. Speak up when interacting with a Virgo, it’ll help us not be so overbearing. Sometimes we need someone to say, “it’s cool I got it”. Calms our nerves lol.
Well said! As a fellow Virgo myself, I concur with everything she’s feeling.
You can tell she’s hurting bad. Throughout this whole video you can tell she’s pushing back tears. Great interview. I think a lot of people are growing through this feeling. I don’t know what’s going on in the world right now, but something is really making people depressed like never before.
We’re leaving in a very unjust world right now. People are not respectful; caring; thoughtful; just; family oriented & honest like 30 - 40 years ago. Neighborhoods have evolved; people wanna kill each other instead of fist fighting & end it all there. & in America we’re all so racially divided.. it’s gotta get better!!!! Also there more mental health illnesses & issues in our communities & no help for people with those disorders!!!
@@Wiseamphibian87 I agree! Very well said.
It’s people giving themselves to everything but the Most High God & seeing how empty this life is. Nothing tangible was made to complete us & feel whole. It is only God himself. Riches, success, people & everything is an outlet. Never will it fulfil
@@BabeKay01 Well said.
@@BabeKay01 so true !!!!!!
I am here literally fighting for my life and my faith is being challenged. I’m not okay. I’m Im not good. Thank you for this.
Hang on hold on God got you my love❤
hope you okay ...just want to let you know its normal to feel off sometimes .... just take it one step at a time you will be okay .......I know they say men don't cry but its help sometimes.
You are loved i hope you are doing better
We love you 😘 we need u ❤❤❤
You will get yourself through this difficult time, not God. You're responsible for yourself, your strength, your willingness to move forward. Trust in you, yourself, not God.
“Faith tested but it got you where you are “ needed that!
Ohhhhh my gosh Taraji is speaking EVERY WORD of my inner being ! She’s speaking EVERY word of how I feel! Lord give me the strength to endure all obstacles!!!
This has been my favorite interview so far! They’ve all been great but this one was another level. Taraji was speaking facts and her realness was so relatable.
Francine Martinez, I thought, I was reading my own comments. I mimicked you!! The Best interview so far!!☺️
I agree!!!
Great minds think alike. 😊 But it was such a great interview and at the perfect timing. Taraji ... laid her heart out in that interview.
Mines to Angie has interview every one 😊😊😊🔥🔥😎
I love her and her authenticity
i’m in tears as soon as she said fighting everyday!! And she said don’t cut this people need to see this YES ABSOLUTELY!! i love this girl
This interview was definitely God ordained, as I sit here with tears in my eyes Tired and ready to give up this video gives me so much hope and let’s me know that God is still in control . I pray for everyone watching this and feeling defeated, you are not alone ! We will all get thru this
And so will you. God Loves you and that is what matters at the end of the day. Sending hugs
Amen 🙏🏿
Absolutely love this interview, Thank you ladies!
May the angels of the Lord cover you with grace and impart unto you strength in Jesus name! May God’s grace strengthen your faith until is it pure gold! You are covered in the name of Jesus
I started to tear up when Taraji said she hasn't been truly happy in a long time. I pray that God continues to bless her and protect her. I also hope that the Bali trip helped her. She really dropped some gems, especially when talking about being connection to God. Thank you Angie.
Damn I Gained An Even Greater Respect For Taraji For Being So Honest And Strong. So Many Ppl Need To See This Interview Because The Whole World Needs Healing Man🙏🏽🖤
When she said that she is going on a trip alone I felt that! A spiritual journey is the best thing.
Yesss it
I’m in tears watching this. I love Taraji’s vulnerability. And I love how careful Angie was with her. Such a great interview
Yes
I so understand where Taraji is coming from. I'm trying my best to rebound from the lowest point in my life and I can tell you that I'm learning so much about myself, others and the world. I'm focusing on personal discovery and growth, and I've had to basically shut the whole world out in order to get down to the nitty gritty of it all. That trip Taraji has planned is going to do a world of good. I hope she's able to stay longer if more time is needed beyond the 30 days. Self-care is KEY because I've been so guilty of emptying my tank, trying to care for everyone and leaving nothing for myself. Praying for your strength, endurance, health and joy.
I’m so grateful to have chanced upon this interaction. I relate so much with everything Taraji shared. It’s inspiring to know someone like her is going through similar struggles like I am this moment. Thank you so much for this.
Your comment resonated with me so much! We've got this!
I appreciated this. Thank you. Wishing you an honest/blessed year!
I lost my mama January 21, 2023. This year and the hurt and pain has been unbearable. Depression has been so so real since my mama passed away. The memories are what has been keeping me going through all of this. I'm grateful for everything the good and the bad. God is good and my faith shows every single day no matter the good and the bad I'm still here and I'm still standing.
I LOOVE that EGO lesson Taraji! Keeping it checked is the absolute truth. The point she made of *"look at the lives of everyone who said I'm the greatest and look how it ended"* .... Taraji paying attention. Love it.
All these ego conversations are nice until she gets paid a salary of a rookie actress😂😂😂
❤
What did she mean cause she said before she started talking “ I don’t wanna get myself in any trouble “
“If you are the greatest you are serving a different God.” My gosh, I needed that🙏🏾🙏🏾
Angie!! I gotta tell you, I’ve grown up with you and I LOVE this chapter you’re in. You are so great in this platform and I love these conversations! Thank you! Taraji, I pray your joy finds you 🙏🏾 sending you love!
This!!!! Angie Martinez is a staple in my mind when I think of hip hop..
I completely agree ! ❤
Haven't finished yet but this feels heavy. In the beginning Angie seemed like she was trying to balance it out by being chipper but eventually she just let it happen. Excellent interviewer. Sometimes when we're depressed we want to be alone but that's when we need community the most. I pray Taraji is safe in Bali and comes back feeling a little rejuvenated and ready to take life on day-by-day.
“ I thought I was happy” man I am going through the exact same feeling! My therapist is told me happiness is only temporary. We can not chase happiness. Thank you for sharing Taraji! We all have shit. We tryna get through this shit. And shift shit. Sift through shit and we need honesty like this!
You’re not here to be greater than anyone else, you’re here to be YOU. There is no other you on this planet, and there is room for all of us to shine. Loved this interview 😊
Needed this. Thank you 🙏🏾
@@yinyangyikes you’re welcome! 🙏🏾
Wow this is beautiful ❤❤❤
Well said
The goal is to be the best version of what G-d imagined for my soul.
There’s something about someone that truly loves you asking how you are. Baby, it taps right in to the core of you. Love that Taraji was so transparent. And I always love the care Angie shows with ALL of these conversations.
Agreed
I am in tears . I can relate. The Enemy is so busy using the people close to you , to drain you, to attempt to block you from you reaching your fullest potential, etc. It takes courage to fight for the happiness and joy . That means you have to be in the present and be INTENTIONAL with your thoughts and your heart. SELF CARE is REAL!!! It is okay to block the noise out and take time for yourself.
May Taraji enjoy her Eat PRAY LOVE journey in BALI 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Who you telling he's more bussy now than he ever was it's crazy
This whole part 💯
This moment truly touched me. I could genuinely FEEL Taraji’s pain, but at the same time I felt her resilience! The pure desire to overcome. I’ve been there (especially in the last few years) I get it. The great thing is, she knows that a win is coming!
See, when you’ve experienced disappointment, hurt, and stress before and have overcome that pain, you understand that it’s necessary in order to make you a better, stronger person. This interview was so necessary. It was filled with depth and thought-provoking conversation. Cheers to Taraji for doing the work and putting herself first. Angie did an amazing job conducting the interview per usual.
11 minutes in and this episode feels like a genuine conversation between two good friends.
19:26 this is definitely a Virgo trait. ♍️ The empath, the energy reader, healer energy. We soak up other people's emotions and forget about ourselves. I hope Taraji finds true fulfilling peace and happiness in Bali. She's on a new journey and writing a new chapter in her life. Brilliant interview. 👏👏👏🇬🇧
Thank you for NOT cutting this. It was relatable in so many ways. Without being able to fully articulate in words what was felt after watching this interview….pure blessing to hit play. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
This made me cry. I’ve been feeling this way for about a year. She is amazing for speaking on this
Ikr
Me too...I know exactly what she is saying,
“Peace by all means necessary “- this is my life motto, my goal !!
TARAJI: "At the end of the day, it is about Fighting for your JOY and finding it"💯 I totally feel that😭. Such a vulnerable conversation❤️. Phenomenal Actress, pray she gets her well deserved awards ✨💐💐 soonest.
Taraji is the truth! So much wisdom. God bless her and all the people of this beautiful world 🙏🏽
I love how vulnerable and brave Taraji was in this interview. I have never seen the 2 qualities displayed together ❤️, truly powerful. May God bless you, cause this is true reflection of a powerful person 🙏
Amen. Also, it takes bravery to be vulnerable ❤️
What are you talking about? She wasn’t vulnerable, the regrets came out and the reality of life. She’s an actress and knows how to be fake.
The real ones are powerful.
As a mental health nurse, I appreciate this real conversation of suicidal ideation. ❤
Same here!
Yep working in and out of mental health for 30yrs I tap in when people say suicidal ideation because maybe they actually understand more of what suicidal thoughts really are because it's so many levels people really don't understand
It seems like everyone is in this space of what’s next and searching for that inner peace… I hope all of us achieve everything we need
I LOVED this interview. Pure honesty and truth spoken from the heart! ✊🏾
I've had to watch this in a span of 3 days (tears would flow every few minutes). The conversation was so deep, so true, so real, and is sooooo me in my current season in almost every topic. This was a deep soul searching and healing conversation that I didn't know I needed and I will be forever grateful for this! Thank you and sending so much love to Taraji & Angie!
This interview changed my whole perspective going into a new year. I was literally taking notes! I didn't move from the TV even though I had to pee and I knew I could have paused it!! this interview had me stuck in a good way. I cried, laughed, prayed and made some new promises to myself. This interview will change so many lives. I'm soooo grateful for this 🙏🏾 We need this kind of vulnerability in our world.
Oh my gosh she got Taraji! Yessss!!! 😭🙌🏾. This for real made my whole day… I needed this. Life is hard but we gotta fight for joy and peace. I pray for God’s peace, joy and love to really fill her up. I pray her trip changes her for the better.
We all are suffering in some type of way. We have to take care of ourselves. I’m 50 and I just decided I have to do it for me. Be encouraged, Taraji! Thank you so much, Angie! This transparency is for all of us!❤
Same, same, same!
❤️I love Taraji and I needed this today. It's where I'm at as well. I worked 2 fulltime jobs and wasted years in the wrong relationship with a guy and I ignored the red flags and now making massive adjustments to live my best life.
LISTEN!!! When I tell you this BLESSED ME Ang!!!!! I’m in here, in tears with y’all! What an absolute blessing and beautifully honest, transparent, caring and empathetic vessel God has given us in Taraji…to remind us of not only who we are, but who HE (God) is!!!!! Ang, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this and what you too bring to and have shared with us! WOW, two amazing and beautiful inside and out women sharing, encouraging, affirming and edifying one another! My heart is truly full after watching this and now I think I’m gonna go take a shower and have a good gratitude release (cry), because THAT is what all this goodness has evoked! Continued blessings to you Ang! 🙏🏽❤️
This was so heartfelt. This was my sister and I lost her to suicide in 2016 . I never knew anything was wrong. I love you Taraji for sharing. I feel like I understand my sister thought process. I really wish she chose life ❤. We were separated as children and we were just starting to spend time with each other.
This one was really good. Taraji kept it real the entire sitting… I love her
The conversation about ego was powerful wisdom. I’m glad that Taraji was able to explain, and Angie was able to understand.
When she said “you are never alone” that comforted me a bit because it’s so easy to be stuck in a dump and you feel all sorts of ways and you doubt your feelings and experiences and think that you are the only one stuck and struggling , the anxiety of feeling like something is wrong with you for simply going through life because the world has done a great job of looking happy and that can be incredibly isolating
This was a great interview. T is so raw and strong. I wish her nothing but peace in her spirit 🙏🏾
My sentiment exactly.
I’m happy she didn’t cut it out. I needed to see this. THANK YOU TARAJI! WE! NEEDED THIS 👏🏾
Watching this was like seeing myself in a mirror. I am a Virgo as well, so I definitely can relate to everything Taraji was saying and feeling. Especially about constantly overthinking and being known as “the strong one” from everyone around you while secretly fighting for your life everyday. This woman took my exact feelings and thoughts and expressed it in this interview. Thank you Taraji🫶🏾. And I love you more today than I did yesterday for this🫶🏾.
Absolutely, I'm a Virgo as well! I can wholeheartedly relate!
But ain’t you a strong 💪 black woman that don’t need no man ?
Yes, Us ♍️ do find it hard to tell people that we are NOT ok! We definitely need a safe place and / or person to feel vulnerable, celebrated, etc!!
@@gmazone2596 completely agree!!
@@jemekadixon2511 yessss!
This the ONE right here Anything show Taraji comes on I’m watching
Angie, these interviews are needed! Thank you for creating a safe space for these persons to be vulnerable and shed the layers and open up. Truly beautiful Taraji... We are all in this together.
I thank Taraji for sharing this space with us and being real with us about where she is now in her journey. We need this and need to know it’s okay to not be okay, but to also take time to put is first to figure it out. I pray you find your peace Taraji and I also pray that everyone who reads this post find the inner peace and happiness they deserve as well.
This was such a needed conversation, such an inspiration. So brave to speak about not feeling 100%, it's so easy to say, "I'm great, I'm great". But not so easy to say, "No I'm not ok". This was so moving.
Angie is out here doing the Lord’s work man. Thank you for this interview. Taraji is a treasure. I’ve always felt like she always needs a hug. I can relate to how she feels and the internal battles she faces. She articulates it well and I’m glad she was so open about it. I pray that she finds the peace and happiness she seeks and that she is covered on her spiritual journey in Bali. 🙏🏾
I’m not a Virgo, I’m a Scorpio but she just explained my life down to growing up alone and talking to myself, to fighting for my joy everyday. I go in a store or the mall and I feel my mission is to make someone smile or uplift someone but when I get home I’m fighting my thoughts 😢..I’m so happy I’m not alone it gives me the strength to push forward and that’s exactly what I am going to do! Happy New Years everyone ❤
God bless happy New Years to everyone everything that you just said is me too and everything that taji spoke on is everything I can relate to everything I needed this it's like so much I'm so grateful so everyone I mean everyone I need to we're going to get through this by the grace of God faith hope alive we are strong we are survivors we will get through this God bless everyone thank you so much thank you all
I walk around with what I have been told are dancing eyes and a beautiful smile and I feel like I'm dying on the inside. I deserve an award. And I am an emotional cancer.
’m also a Scorpio ♏️
I felt seen.
Wowsers!
Taraji has me in tears! Mainly bc I KNOOOOWWWWWWW EVERYTHING that she’s feeling! I am putting out healing energy for her! Love you Taraji!
Whew She got me tearing up definitely being a Virgo and just turning 25 i felt this on a soul level i always loved me some Tarji but i love her even more after this❤
The interview I didn't know I needed. Thank you, Angie and Taraji, so real. Be kind everyone.
We are more alike than we think we are. The collective energy shows that we are all hurting in some way and it has just built over time. Thank you Taraji for always being completely real.
This has been the only interview that resonate with me when it comes to happyness and dealing with mental struggles ♡
I love their energy. This really made me cry at some point . It’s so real . I feel it .
I went back to school for acting because of Taraji and Viola. Much respect, Taraji, you are appreciated and loved!
Wonderful
This was a honestly beautiful conversation. Friends that can speak on all parts of their life without judgement are so important. Thank you taraji for being vulnerable and honest and thank you Angie for providing a safe space to have these conversations.
There's power in vulnerability. What a beautiful interview❤️
Love Taraji, I applaud her openness and honesty!! I hope and pray she finds her joy! ❤
This podcast was healing for me, thank you Taraji for sharing your thoughts.
This is one of the my best podcast episodes ever! I love T but I got to love her more today. So real and genuine. This wasn’t just an interview, it was a nice friendship conversation that was very relatable ❤️❤️
I love this type of real talk Taraji is a gift just being herself that’s a beautiful thing 🙏🏽💫
She's so open, honest, amd real love her I pray she get peace and feel loved. ❤️
I absolutely love her rawness. I am her in so many ways. I cried during the interview
I also needed to hear this. She explained perfectly what bouts of depression look like for me. I'm fighting EVERY day to find my joy. It's great to know I'm not alone.
I just watched this clip and to say that at my age 60 years old Taraji made a very clear point on fixing yourself being happy for yourself financially, I’m not able to get away and go two hours anywhere but I know that I will figure it out and something that I desperately need Being able to tell my story, what a healing in my life being married to a man for almost 20 years and he up and just vanish walk out. You don’t know where he is. Numbers changed family won’t tell you anything you’re going crazy so I admire her story and I can pretty much see where she’s coming from butgetting over the pain as a working progress so thank you so much
This is how real people feel every day... It's just coming from Taraji. I appreciate her being honest - I feel just like her...
I watched the Lauren London interview just before this. I understand you Taraji 100%. I am 22 and in 2021 I lost a close friend to suicide. This made me lose so much hope and when I started having ideations I lost a part of myself that I will never gain back. But it the darkness of the past year that led me to nourish my soul within. I feel like the Taraji and Lauren interviews go hand & hand.
Yin & Yang. The darkness that brings you to light.
Releasing the pains of the self and welcoming the healing that is universal love (which includes yourself, duh) 🥰
I have noticed a theme of going through struggles alone, and then speaking to multiple different people who are going through the same thing in a different font. Speaking up about our pain helps us share those glimmers of light that are the reason why we keep going. My reason is that I don’t want to pass on the same hopelessness that I felt when my friend passed away. I also have a strong desire to give my inner child the happiness they deserve.
THANK YOU ANGIE MARTINEZ FOR ALLOWING YOURSELF AND YOUR GUESTS TO BE A SOURCE OF LIGHT. The world is going through it but we are entering a new consciousness.
Crazy. I instantly thought about lauren londons interview, fews minutes into this one.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am sorry for your heartbreak and celebrate the growth your friend generated in you. You take that love with you as fuel to light the way for the next. I pray you have support as you keep moving. Be well. #988
I love Taraji and how transparent she is. 💕
The love I have for Taraji is unmatchable!! She is such a Queen! So humble!! So honest! So real!! This was a great interview! I ❤️ you too Angie!!
I was just in tears this entire interview omg it was just so amazing 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I pray that God continues to bless these 2 beautiful women on their journeys to whatever and wherever it may take them❤
This was DOPE AF!!!! Taraji is definitely a blessings and a treasure from our generation!!!!!
I cried twice during this interview. Once for you and second for me. Thank you TPH for your transparency. God Speed in Bali. I look forward to your transcendence.
*Bearhug*
I pray that you be in a better space and never loose hope nor faith!
Too many hot girl summers. She should of held on to her man and got married
@jay Johnson factual.behind the make up the mouth and the lies at home when the crowd is gone this is the hard reality,and it doesn't have to be this way.
Damn only 5 mins in & already can tell Angie’s energy is up compared to her interview with Kim. Before anyone tries to tell me otherwise I get they’re separate interviews, but this def feels 💯 genuine. My fave interview thus far. Taraji appreciate your vulnerability. Praying you find your happiness 🙏🏽#TeamVirgo ♍️
Agreed.
😟 Also, 👀 WATCH: Lauren London, and Mary J. Blige's interview as well...WOW!!! AMAZINGLY POWERFUL...🙏😔🙏 These are the MOST important interviews of all times...GOD BLESS YOU MS., OUR BEAUTIFUL ANGIE!!! 😘 WE LOVE YOU, YOU ARE AN ICONIC 💎 GEM, and UNIQUELY CREATED BY GOD TO HELP THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE...🙏😇🙏 THANK-YOU FOREVER MS. ANGIE!!! PEACE BE WITH YOU...🙏😘🙏
I love Tarija!! She has a beautiful spirit. She is so wise!!
Amazing conversation from two of our legends! Queen Taraji is so important to us and must be protected at all costs. We love you and your authenticity Taraji!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
