On Friday night Wynonna Judd was on Larry King Live and mentioned her work with Brain State. Some of our affiliates are already reporting an increase in phone calls and scheduled appointments:
An excerpt (transcript) of the interview is below:
KING: You mentioned — you look up Wynonna Judd in the dictionary, the definition is great. And that song is from her new album “Sing, Chapter One.” You’re appearing with your mom, as you mentioned, at the museum, 50,000 people tomorrow night. You’ve had an up and down relationship. How are things with you and our dear friend, Naomi, doing now?
JUDD: We had a meeting two days ago. And I sat there and went through my list and she went through hers. And we get along better now than ever. Sorry, tabloids.
We are doing so well. We are what recovering families look like. We are in a state — in a process, if you will, of learning how to communicate. We were so famous for so long together. We didn’t really know how to do real life off stage. And so we’ve had to learn how to just show up at dinner, not talk politics or, you know, what do we make after taxes, or what tour are you on, what book did you write? Hey Ashley, what movie are you making?
We talk about real stuff. So we’re learning to do family just like everybody else. A little too late sometimes, but at least we’re doing it. And my mom is more mellow than ever. I’m definitely more balanced. I’ve been doing a thing called brain state, which I want to be on your show with the guy who founded it, Brain State Technologies. And my brain’s balanced.
So I’m better. Mom’s better. We’re not bitter. We’re doing great. We’re working. She’s 63 years old and she is living proof that miracles do happen. And tomorrow night, when she comes — when she comes out on stage tomorrow night, there is no age. It’s just attitude. She will twirl and everybody will look up to us and say, that is the American dream. That is what the Judds represent. I think people see themselves in us.
KING: I’m looking forward to doing a show on brain state, did you say?
JUDD: Yes, balancing my brain. I’m off four medications. I take Ally, and I walk, and I meditate. I’m taking better care of myself. I’m what 45 looks like, 30/15 more like it. I’m one of those recovering people who have figured out a way to be in the music business and find moderation and balance, which that used to be an oxymoron. To me, I’m learning how to heal in the music world, which is really I think probably my greatest accomplishment.
Forget the Grammies, forget all the number ones. Honestly, the thing that I’m most proud of is the fact that I’ve survived 25 years.
