Courtney chats with Cynthia Addai-Robinson, American Actress for a heartfelt conversation about boundaries, balance, and the legacy of matriarchs. Cynthia opens up about recalibrating her nervous system through presence, re-entering real life after projects like The Rings of Power, and how playing a queen has shaped her sense of self and authority. They bond over their love for musicals and dive deep into the incredible journey of Cynthia's mother, Victoria Addai and her own fearless risks, entrepreneurial dreams, and the creative spirit she passed down to her daughter. From moving to the U.S. at age 4 to a full-circle premiere moment in London, Cynthia reflects on how the matriarchs in her life have shaped generations of resilience and inspiration. It’s all about taking risks, creating legacies, and embracing the funny (and humbling) realization that we all become a little more like our mothers every day.
