“Acting is a spiritual journey of self-discovery.” - Anthony Hopkins
Join us for an incredibly candid and powerful conversation with actress Siti Hajar. In this episode, Siti bravely shares her challenging yet transformative journey from womanhood to motherhood while navigating the demanding world of acting.
She opens up about the immense personal struggle of being diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and reveals a profound truth: how she consciously uses the depth and emotional range gained from managing her mental health to sharpen and aid her performance as an actress, bringing a new level of authenticity to her roles.
Siti also gives us a unique, often funny anecdotes behind the scenes into her role as a "mom-mager," working alongside her own daughter—balancing the roles of a mother and an actress.
