Kelly talks to Executive Director of ACM Lifting Lives, Lyndsay Cruz, about how the country music community is opening up the mental health conversation post COVID shut down. With the recent suicide of Naomi Judd, one thing rings true, no matter who you are, how much money you have or how big your success, unaddressed mental health can make you sick or worse- end in death. Lyndsay talks about how even many people in the music industry struggled to feed their families and how ACM Lifting Lives is helping the community and fans alike. 

"We are all gonna feel pain and it's ok. We have to get comfortable with pain as a part of the human experience. It's about navigating what to do and where to go when the pain gets unbearable." 


Also, how to address mental health issues before it gets to the unbearable point.
Artists like John Osbourne of Brother's Osbourne have joined lifting lives to tell their own mental health stories.
