Sitting down with Dr. Oz, the 60-year-old singer opened up about one of the most challenging periods in her life. It wasn't easy for her to talk about, but she bravely shared how she had reached a point where she felt completely overwhelmed. "You know, you think about it, my car and... well, that's stupid. I can't do that. That's not even..." Marie began, her voice trailing off as she reflected on the thoughts she had during that time.

A Mother’s Intervention Changed Everything

Marie went on to describe how her mother played a pivotal role in helping her turn things around. "Just three times. I got in the car and drove up the coast of California. My mother found me in a Notel motel, and that's what changed it," she recalled during the interview. It wasn't just the act of finding her that mattered—it was the connection her mother made with her. "She said to me, 'Marie, I've never told you this, but when I had my last child, I had postpartum depression. I got in a car and drove up the coast of California,'" Marie shared.

Understanding the Power of Resilience

For Marie, hearing her mother's story was a turning point. "Her saying that was like, if she could overcome this—and I never thought I could—then I can too," she explained. "And I think maybe that's why we like to share so much, is because you can overcome it. We help each other." This moment of vulnerability and connection taught Marie a powerful lesson: no matter how dark things may seem, there's always a way forward, and we're stronger when we lean on each other.
