Divabetic Podcast Inspired by Dolly Parton

Happy Birthday, Dolly Parton!

In her 77 years on this earth, Dolly Parton has taught us many lessons—like never skimp on hair spraySo, in honor of the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, Oscar/Emmy/Tony–nominated actress, and philanthropist extraordinaire, we dedicate this Divabetic podcast to her.

If you’re ever experiencing a bout of self-doubt or lacking in the self-love department, there maybe you need a dose of Dolly Parton. As referenced in The New York Times, one fan summed up her appreciation like this: “I’ll tell you why I love her… Dolly is everything I never dared to be. Sure, she’s outrageous looking. But just once, didn’t you ever want to do something outlandish — without worrying what everyone will say?”

She doesn’t let age slow her down.  Dolly says she’s still “the same girl that wants to squeeze every little drop out of life that I can.”

Dolly is a big advocate for keeping a positive mindset and finding beauty in even the smallest aspects of everyday life. She says “I make a point to appreciate all the little things in my life. I go out and smell the air after a good, hard rain. These small actions help remind me that there are so many great, glorious pieces of good in the world.”\

“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.” — Dolly Parton
