“Relax,” she said she would tell her younger self about this moment in her career. “I would tell everybody, ‘Just relax.'”

“I think we all walk around so clenched, so filled with tension. The world is so crazy, so difficult. And my goal in life now as an old lady is just to say ‘Relax, you are enough. You are enough. This is a perfect moment right now. Call off the search. Just relax.'”

Earlier this the conversation, Curtis shared how she started her morning by reading a “profound” message from “The Book of Awakening.”

“I do meditation. I’m a sober person. I talk to people, I communicate with my friends,” she said of her morning ritual, adding, “My husband made me a little breakfast.”
