Brenda Song

And honestly, I say this all the time and I truly mean it, being on this show is one of the first times, I've been doing this since I was three years old, I'm 38.

This show has really, has been one of the few places where I truly feel seen, heard, taken care of, and where I truly feel like I have a voice.

And that's really rare.

And this show, being with women like Kate and Mindy, have really taught me to be unafraid to speak up, period.

Because the truth is, I'll be honest, there have been so many times in my career where people are like, well, why did you do that role?

I was like, I'm just trying to work.

You think I had a say in it?

And that's what's really hard.

They make you feel like you have to defend every choice that you make when you realize that you're just trying to survive.

And being on this show has really helped me and really given me so much motivation to speak up for myself and to advocate for myself and to take risks that I don't think I would have taken.

It's the truth, though.

When I started this show, Kate said something amazing to me, because she was starring in a show and also having an album come out.

And we were talking about it, and she's like, you did this because for you.

You didn't want to have any regrets.

You didn't care.

And she said it so casually, but it hit so hard for me because I feel like I was always so afraid to do something because I was afraid to fail because as women, if we have a misstep, it's like a huge failure.

We'll never get another shot.

And so truly being with these women has inspired me so much to be more like them.

That is so nice.

I always say, when you're scared to do something, you know change is about to happen, and change can be scary.
