- Trigger Warning: Talk of an eating disorder
This week I'm joined by Courtney Hope. You may know Courtney best as Sally Spectra on The Bold and The Beautiful and The Young and The Restless, but she's also a dancer, gymnast, a fitness enthusiast and she's engaged to my good friend and tv son, Chad Duell.
Courtney opens up about dealing with anxiety, battling and overcoming an eating disorder, the importance of therapy and Breaking the Chains Foundation, where she's on the board. Breaking the Chains is a unified global non-profit foundation using art as the process to unmask the stigma of individuals affected by eating disorders & negative body image.

The best thing about State of Mind is hearing actors and actresses, people we admire, talking about their struggles with anxiety and depression. They are being so real and relatable. I’m on medication for anxiety for many years and it’s nice to know I’m not alone! Thank you, as always, Maurice!! ❤️
💝💝💝
This is great and it helps alot and actors actresses do too
Thank you Maurice ❤️ I’m
bipolar & depression……you
have helped me & I will continue to watch you & your guests I have your book & VERY good❤️
Thank YOU Maurice for mentioning Karen Carpenter. My heart still hurts that we lost her.
❤️❤️❤️
And thank YOU Courtney for the work you are doing.
Bless you both.
Just rewatched this interview. Awesome! I’ve been stuck in fourth gear for the last two years! You’ve been my therapy, but now seeing Dr tomorrow. All this has been effecting my health. Therapy should be mandatory for all! Should be taught in schools! Thanks for all you do! Much ❤️ 🙏🏻 from Ohio.
Thank you for reminding me that my doctor told me to get back into therapy. I’m going to get an appointment with a psychiatrist and a therapist tomorrow.
I want you to know that mental health affects your physical health. I’m 53 years diabetic. I have been diagnosed MDD with MAD. Funny thing is that I have a doctor who finally gave me the stamp of madness.😂
Anyway, anxiety affects the liver that reacts to the fight or flight chemicals that you see when women lift cars and move them around to save their loved one.
Well that’s a rise of adrenaline and glucose (sugar) and the rise raises my sugar levels to unmanageable levels. Depression effects my eating habits and takes my energy, so I definitely encourage you to try to get your mind right and I will, too.🤝🛐
What a great conversation...I teared up when she was speaking about losing her older brother. I also lost an older brother (to suicide). It was that same way with my father...he didn't cry. I did right away but I stuffed a lot of it down. Jump to 5 years later and I woke up one night from a dream about him and it all came crashing in and I was inconsolable for days after...therapy came decades later after suffering from that and other traumas. Therapy is what literally saved me from falling into a black hole. Talking and crying openly and freely about our mental health with NO shame is paramount in healing...
♥️♥️♥️
Black hole! That’s the term I use now when I thank my younger family members who have been my inspiration to climb out to myself.
I’m MDD since age 6 with Moderate Anxiety Disorder-MAD, since the pandemic.
I have faith in God and am blessed to have RUclips access to State of Mind to help me remember I am not alone.✌🏽🙏🏾🤝
NOTHING makes me cry more than seeing a grown man cry
One of my most favorite episodes to date. Maurice- you're always great! Courtney is everything I didn't know I loved. What a sweet human.
Thank you Courtney for sharing your story on your struggles. I am happy your in a great place in your life…blessings and love ❤️❤️ thank you Maurice ❤️
Amazing to see her in this way and all she has done in her young life. Fortunate she went back on her meds and not cold turkey. Thank you Mo for having her on and blessings to her and Chad for a happy life together.
So sad they are divorced already after only being married a few weeks.
@@adriennebernardo1877 I approve!
I've always been a fan of Courtney Hope as Sally Spectra, AND to get to know her NOW as a person😄😄😄 She's so chill & transparent, & her energy just radiates positivity❤ I loved this interview!
Maurice THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for doing your State of Mind program watch it every week! It help lots of People and I'm hoping that you will continue to do this for a long time to come! Continued Safety to you your Family and your GH crew!!
I loved this talk. You always make you're guests feel so comfortable enough to open up. Wishing Courtney and Chad the happiest life together.
So sad they are already divorced after only being married a few weeks
Thank you for having Courtney on. It’s so important that women/girls learn about body image. There is not one size fits all. Young girls are taught they must look like the Barbie doll and we must break that chain. Would you post the information about “Breaking the chain” I would love to contact them. Thank you, Maurice and Courtney for this beautiful interview. As always, you do such a wonderful job and have so many interesting conversations; something everyone can relate to whether it’s personal or we know of someone struggling with these issues. God bless.
Respect for Courtney Hope!
Serenity Sunday almost here, so looking forward to this and every Sunday. You do a fantastic job Maurice. Keep that special heart and vulnerability.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m glad I watched this. I know how it is not to be able to cry ! Time when I should be crying my eyes out I am not . I want to but just can’t! And then there is time I can hold them back.
That’s so sad about your brother. God bless! You sound amazing. I’m glad you and Chad are together. You both sound so much compatible. Thanks Maurice for being Courtney on. God bless both of you and your family.💙💕💙💕Thanks for always talking about anxiety panic attacks and bipolar and depression. This does help people out. Thanks 💙💕💙💕
☮️
Loved this! Love how a young woman on here is talking about medication! And brain zaps! Those are very real🙏🏼💕
Another good one Maurice Thank you It was nice to get to know a little about Courtney She seems to have a good head on her shoulders and a good understanding of physical and mental health
Absolutely love Sally!!! Thanks Courtney for adding a spark to the screen
I was on Celexa for 13 years and I had no money to go to my Dr then go to get my script filled. At that time my husband and I broke up, after 20 years, and as I was going to church my husband went to a different church and invited me to a program called celebrate recovery. After a month doing this program, I looked at my husband and said, you know what I haven't been on my medication for about a month with no Manic episodes. Wow this is liberating. Because I was told by my Dr that after a year on this medication I will always be on it. Trust me when I tell you that several times I tried getting off of it with not so good results. But once I retrained my mind it was amazing. It's been 4 years with no Manic episodes ( one breakdown, seeing my father die but that's just stress). But it's been amazing what God can do when you listen and believe in yourself.
I'm not saying prescriptions are not the answer. I'm saying if you're ready to get off then you can.
@mbstateofmind @MauriceBenard Thank you for this SOM. I was bulimic for 2 years (15-17) because I felt I had to please my boyfriend by losing weight. I believe I was suffering from mental illness but no one talked about that in the 80's. Im grateful I was able to get better, and now I protect my mind and I can't please everyone. No more harm to myself. Maurice, I really appreciate you and what you do. May God bless you and your lovely family. ❤ 👍🏻🤗
Maurice great interview with Courtney.
It's was so great to see Courtney Hope and Maurice Bernard together on this video with you guys! She is literally looking beautiful and sweet! ❤️😍 I love her on the show for playing Sally Spectra on The Young and the Restless!
Absolutely loved this sunday's talk with Courtney she's one lucky woman to be engaged to Chad congratulations. And you're right Maurice and good cry helps us all cleanse. Always break those chains.
Courtney congrats on your engagement! Hi Maurice ! Sunny come home
Thank you so much for sharing your story Courtney! So happy for you and Chad, you make a beautiful couple! I too suffer from panic attacks, depression and PTSD. As always Maurice thank you for another wonderful SOM! God Bless you both! ❤️🙏
Idk what to do I’m so depressed I miss my Pomeranian Wolfgang he died 2 weeks ago and the loss is like knifes in my heart... I had a ED from 11 years old till my 20s but now I have no appetite not from ED but my broken heart. I torture myself and listen to sad songs such as HONEY I MISS YOU and TO SIR WITH LOVE. All I do is CRY. My dog was part of me so I am in a BAD STATE OF MIND...... thx for this video.....
When you are ready, share your life with another dog. Not to replace your other dog, but to honor what you shared and all the relationship meant to you. The new dog will find its own place in your heart.
Agree w/Karen...it took me 3 years to get over the loss of my dog, Bungee...then, my cousin got a female runt from her next door neighbor...her mother stopped feeding the puppies at 5 weeks...so I took her...otherwise, she would've passed...I nourished her and, she's almost 2 years old now...and, she's crawled into my heart...I wouldn't know what to do if something were to happen to her! So, cry and give it time...then adopt a rescue/shelter pet! They need us!
Hey Mo. I was diagnosed with depression at a very young age and I tried going to therapy and for me it made it worse. It brought out things I didn't feel and I didn't like it at all. But if its for you go for it. Don't be afraid of it embrace it
Courtney you really have a gift. You should maybe think of your own podcast like Maurice suggested. I am after sending the link to friends. I would finish that degree if I was that close just to finish it. Don’t ever change because you are this glimmer of Hope. Pun intended. Hey that’s what you could call your podcast!!! Thanks
Courtney thank you for sharing your story. I hope people are watching this and learning. You know most of my story. I am recovered from Ed for over 25 yrs. And running support groups and therapy. It needs to be talked about without shame. And you are speaking loud!!! Love you!!👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰. Maurice thank you too for being open about your own battles with mental health. You are both amazing!!
Omg, this is so perfect, my daughter suffers from body dysmorphia, she is in inpatient treatment right now. I hope something I hear can help me get though to her. She is beautiful and she doesn’t see herself that way.😢 Thank you for tackling this subject, we almost lost her.😢😢😢
All the best to your daughter!
Kristen, you are so sweet, thank you very much.❤️
This show helps me so much because I see other people going through what I am . Thank you so much
Congratulations courtney and hi maurice ty for sharing your stories 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤
Huge thanks for this video! Anxiety is horrible but we can fight it!
Thanks for sharing. You both really hit a great point about awareness in yourself.... Love the car analogy. So true.
Thank you for sharing. The only time I ever saw my father cry was when his 2nd eldest sister died because she stepped in to help my grandfather raise the youngest 2 of the 10 kids my grandparents had. I've seen my brother break down a few times when we lost a cousin, my parents, an uncle died from drug abuse, and when his brother-in-law unlived himself. My anxiety at times is so bad at times I'm a person who cries when someone slightly raises their voice at me.
Thank you for sharing with us, Courtney. And congratulations on your engagement with Chad!
I love Courtney Hope and Chad Duell so much and I'm here for these two already! I don't know how much I love them with all my heart! 😍❤️
I have been watching all of these videos today!
Just found them! Gotta pause now.
It’s almost 2:00 pm in Florida and that means SHOW TIME, GH!
Back soon😉
Wow this was powerful
Just to see all facets of mental illness and how it connects in life. Unfolding with stigma lowering and we the people can see things without cause of harming each other. This episode was move forward for all of us.
Thank you Maurice

Courtney and Chad ate already divorced! Very sad! They recently got married and divorced only weeks later. So sad!
My dad never cry's either
I went off Effexor cold turkey and spent a WEEK in withdrawal. I'm talking shakes, splitting headache, nausea, chest pain. I'm stubborn so I made it to work and suffered thru. I wouldn't recommend that. Ease off slowly.
I love watching your videos ❤️
Hearing that Courtney grew up in Texas is good asU watch Y and R on Dallas. Channel..
Crying is such an important thing for EVERYONE! It's a release for our sanity....for our wellbeing! When a man cries....to me....I say that he IS a real man....especially if he ugly face crys! I love that in a man or a person on general!😪😪😪😪😥😥😥😥😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
Wonderful
I love state of mind and would love to know where to buy your merch
Hi sonny!
Can I get a State of Mind coffee mug? If so Where? I’ve looked and looked on Amazon. I’d love to have a few. What kind of coffee do you drink? You are the best. Please get back to me. ❤️
Good interview. Anxiety meds do not help me.
Karen Carpenter died in 1983 at the young age of 32. We are miss Karen to this day :( .
oops! we all miss Karen to this day I meant :(.
Captioning needed
🌹
I didn t hear which place in Texas .
Greetings Corinthos!!! Michael's real wife to be is really nice. You do realize that Carly is now running things. You need to find your memory and get home. And Nina has been completely wrong. To your family, by never saying that she found u. She is going to need to be held accountable for this mortal sinn
How does any family know if someone doesn't cry or not? Just because they don't do it in front of someone doesn't mean they haven't....just saying..
True.
Stress pokes the bear the bear being your weak parts of your body mine was asthma attacks when I would get stressed by what was happening with my moms health her long battle with cancer
First 48, snapped , killer couple I am into all of the true murder mysteries
Plano is richer than rich here.
Sent an email. Don't reply??.
Ahti
Didn't recognize her. She used to look so different.
Mike doesn't have a son or daughters or any family he knows of right now and probably won't know for a while now is my guess.
