The Checkup with Doctor Mike · She Doesn't Want To Cure Her Blindness | Molly Burke · 12 Oct 2025 podcast

But as I said, I grew up wanting to be an actress.

At five years old, I told my parents I'm gonna move to LA and be an actress.

I begged them for acting classes.

I did improv and stage performance.

I was a competitive dancer.

I took vocal lessons.

I idolized Hilary Duff.

Like I wanted to be that triple threat.

So working in entertainment and performing was always a vehicle I loved.

I was also the kid who went home and didn't watch SpongeBob, but watched Oprah.

I loved Oprah.

And I think instinctively, even though I didn't necessarily know it at the time,

I loved her because I saw a minority woman who was using entertainment as a vehicle to talk about topics that were important but weren't being given the time of day yet.

And I really loved that.

And ever since I was a young child, I had such an interest in learning about other people who live in a way that I don't understand.

Because I knew what it was like to live differently to most of society and have people not care to understand me.

And so growing up, wanting to work in an industry that is historically extremely exclusionary and not seeing myself represented in it, I knew that following the traditional path of entertainment would be very difficult.

But social media, there's no gatekeepers like there is in Hollywood.

The gatekeeper is the public, right?

You either resonate with the viewers or you don't.
