Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, this is Shannon Doherty, host of the new podcast
Let's Be Clear with Shannon Doherty. You may know me
from Let's See nine O two one zero, Charmed, Malrats Heathers.
Probably also know me from my stage four cancer diagnosis
and sharing that journey with so many of you. I

(00:21):
decided to start a podcast for a multitude of reasons,
one being I really like it when I get to
connect with other people and tell my own story. My
story has been told by so many other people, but
not actually from me, and I think the amazing thing
about a podcast is that you get to hear it

(00:41):
straight from my mouth, the truth and nothing but the truth,
completely unfiltered. So in this podcast, I'm going to be
talking about marriage, divorce. That's going to be a fun one,
Let's see friendships, my family, my starting all the way
back from Father Murphy and Little House in New Beginning

(01:04):
to Charmed to the multitude of films that I've done.
I'm also going to be talking a lot about cancer,
the ups and the downs, the beauty of cancer, everything
that I've learned from it, and also the really hard times,
the losing of the hair, the fact that it just

(01:27):
hits you in your heart and how I hate to
say it, but vanity takes over to a certain extent,
and I want to be honest about that. How cancer
has affected the relationships with people in my life, from
ex boyfriends to husbands, to my mom, to my friends.

(01:47):
Who has stood by my side, who has been loyal,
who has just embraced it, Who goes with me to
my chemo treatments, who goes with me while I get
brain surgery. I want to be clear about it all.
I want to be clear with my co stars and
all the rumors that you've heard about me throughout my
life is time to let's just be clear. It's going

(02:09):
to be an interesting journey, and I really hope that
you all take this with me. I think that we
can help one another. You know, I've been offered to
do books a memoir of my life so many times,
and I've always said no. And when I decided to
do a podcast, it was because there's something so authentic
about a podcast. It's me connecting me talking raw in

(02:32):
the moment, and that's what my goal is to give you,
to talk about why I feel that cancer to a
certain extent is a gift, what my responsibilities are as
a person with cancer. What's my end goal in life?
What is it that I'm supposed to finally achieve? Because

(02:54):
I think that there's something so much bigger than me,
and to be honest, I'm still trying to find out
what that is and maybe together we'll find it. So
please tune in to Let's be clear with Shannon Doherty,
it's going to be a wild ride, one that's inspiring,
I hope, one that connects us all, one that's funny.

(03:17):
Definitely going to have some crying on there, but you
get to see my life and in turn, I get
to connect with all of you. So I hope that
you all tune in. Thank you,
