I Am: Celine Dion (with Tom Smyth)

Sarah is joined by her pal, Bravoholic and writer Tom Smyth, to deep dive the Celine Dion documentary film "I Am: Celine Dion," out today on Prime Video. They unpack their experiences at the world premiere (joined by, you guessed it, Celine Dion!), Celine's day to day living with stiff person syndrome, what the film gets right about chronic illnesses and the difficulty of maintaining hope, missed opportunities around narrative/context, Celine's struggle to continue performing without overstimulation/episodes, and the ways she is able to seek and create joy.Support the sass: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/damegalliJOIN/LEVEL UP TO THE ANDY'S GIRLS PATREON, AND ENJOY BONUS EPS, INVITES TO SPECIAL ZOOM EVENTS, AND MORE: https://www.patreon.com/AndysGirlsFollow Sarah on social: https://www.instagram.com/damegalli/Highlighted Organizations Supporting Civilians in Israel and Gaza:Israel Trauma Coalition: The Israel Trauma Coalition provides a holistic-collaborative approach that includes knowledge, tools and resources for optimal emergency preparedness, professional support, focused on the rapid recovery of the individual, community and strengthening national resilience. https://israeltraumacoalition.org/en/Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF): PCRF is the primary humanitarian organization in Palestine, delivering crucial and life-saving medical relief and humanitarian aid where it is needed most. Access to essential resources like food, clean water, and healthcare is severely limited. Urgent action is needed.
