• 0:37
  Speaker 3: the parade usually thank you, yeah, like the cutest codes.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you it's always like this. I was
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: just saying to my manager Heather, like I have my
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: outfit all picked out and I'm already changing my mind
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: like two days before, so I will be literally eleventh
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: hour like just trying to top what I have already
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: and it always comes together.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: How many times total have you done the parade? Because
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: you did it back in the too, right, Yes, I.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Did it in ninety seven. Yeah, when the Backstreet Boys
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: were just starting and we shared a trailer and this
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: is my third time.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: All right, we got the parade in two days, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: we have a book to talk about, yes a little. Yes,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: this is a fun book and it gets pretty deep too.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, that is a good way of putting it. Just
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: like life itself for all of us. Right, it's fun,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: it's deep, there's challenges. It's a roller coaster.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I think. You know, people are inspired by your story too,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: you know the fact that you do go a little
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: bit deeper and you share that you had health issues,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: you had financial issues, you had challenges like.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Anxiety, depression, yes, all of it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're working through. I mean, to live a
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: public life with all of that going on and not
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: show it is a lot.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and well, and that's the thing that causes more anxiety.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: So what I've learned as I've gotten older is it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: okay to be like, hey, I'm feeling kind of off today.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Like what is the shame in not being perfect and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: not feeling perfect? It's so hard to keep up, like
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: to sustain the standards you set for yourself. For performers,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: it's like people are expected to like pop out sounding perfect,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: looking perfect all at any given moment, and it's not
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: really sustainable. And I think it's why a lot of
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: women like and listen, I'm not above like doing a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: refresher at some point in the future, like, but it's
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: why female entertainers feel the need to, like, you know, okay,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I need to make sure I have certain things in
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: place so that people because people are kind of looking
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to take you down or to go, oh, she's getting
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: worn out or not, you know, not keeping up, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: so there's a lot of pressure. But then there's a
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: lot of pressure we put on ourselves. So I've taken
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the pressure off of myself in this chapter of my life.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I let myself off the hook now more often than not,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: and it's freeing. And now the work I'm doing is
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: better because of that, because I'm not like eating myself
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: alive with self imposed stress.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: What act we in right now? For Debbie Gibs, I
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: know you kind of describe your second act.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It's, you know, interestingly like right, depending on how you
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: look at it, it's either like the sixteenth act or
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a true second act. And I do feel like it's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: a true second act. And I think I'm really enjoying
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: it even more than the first.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Where are you going to be spending time for the
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: holidays after the parade's over Thursday?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Doing after that? And what's for Christmas?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And all?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Well, my family's in Jersey at one of my niece's houses,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and yeah, if I'm like awake enough to rally to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: get out there, I will, Yeah, I will. I'll probably
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: take a big power nap and then and then head out.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: All my sisters now are here, like one's in Jersey
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and tour in Manhattan. One of my sisters moved into
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the building that my late mom lived in for many
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: many years. So like when I was on Broadway and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Beauty and the Beast, I have these memories of going
• 3:51
