Shading the Limelight - Cristi Williams

This week in the Talksy chair, we have educator, mental health advocate, and emotional wellness coach Cristi Williams. Cristi is also the mother Paramore vocalist, entrepreneur, and PTSD survivor Hayley Willams. She sits down with Jason and Joseph to discuss her work at Shading the Light (her emotional wellness organization), her own domestic trauma, her class at Belmont University entitled "Social and Emotional Intelligence in the Entertainment Industry” (EMO-1), and her years chaperoning Paramore while being a parent and educator to Hayley. The three also discuss MusiCares (the mental health organization that helps music-industry professionals access treatment and support), singer-songwriter and former RU client Adam David’s relationship with Jason, and much more. The episode is replete with stories about being the mother of a young musician experiencing global fame, and a reminder of the responsibilities that comes with. Cristi also discusses how these unique circumstances propelled her into a career of coaching musicians and eventually educating students at Belmont.
