Roseanne Cash Was Depressed and Struggling When She Received a Call From an Unlikely Person (MOTH Monday)

Roseanne Cash Was Depressed and Struggling When She Received a Call From an Unlikely Person (MOTH Monday)
Despite her musical success, Roseanne Cash found herself depressed and defeated on the streets on New York when she received a life-changing phone call.

Today is MOTH Monday on Good News Network: In partnership with The Moth, a nonprofit dedicated to the art of storytelling, we bring you the most uplifting speakers from live stages across the world.

Roseanne Cash may be the eldest daughter of the legendary Johnny Cash, but that does not mean that she has not experienced her fair share of hardships and difficulties.

In her earlier years, her music achieved commercial success and she became a trailblazer for female artists in the music industry.

Rather than continuing to make chart-topping hits, however, she decided to create an album that embodied her truest self. She then released Interiors, a "dark and troubling" record that received its fair share of bad reviews from critics.

Cash's life then took some harsh turns, and as she lived paycheck-to-paycheck in the harsh urban landscape of New York City, she struggled to find hope.

Then, she received a very unexpected phone call that taught her the importance of being true to oneself.

Listen to her story below…

The Moth gives people an opportunity to tell a true story in front of a live audience, and sometimes their stories are chosen to air on the radio show, now celebrating its tenth year, and broadcasting on 485+ public radio stations—and on The Moth podcast, which is downloaded over 52 million times a year.
