6. Michelle Williams: Depression Doesn't Have To Rob You of Your Life

Hope Still Wins with Ben Higgins

Michelle Williams is best known as a member of Destiny's Child, one of the top female R&B groups of all time. In this interview, Ben and Michelle discuss her fruitful career - both the rapidity of success and fame and her struggles with low moods, anxiety and depression. Michelle opens up to us about her personal mental health journey, how she faced it and how she believes it's led her to live out the incredible story God is writing for her life.

Michelle & Ben talk about:

- The difference between a mental illness and mental response
- Getting to the root of our emotional reactions & responses to life
- Why we need to debunk labels

- Where we can find courage to face mental illness & responses
- How to best show up for a friend or a loved one who is battling with mental illness
- Michelle's new book, Checking In: How Getting Real about Depression Saved My Life—and Can Save Yours
