If you have ever felt lost and hopeless in your life, or full of regret, guilt, and shame around choices you have made, listen up homie because your past DOES NOT have to dictate your future and you can do anything you set your mind to!!
And on today’s episode of Women of Impact, I’m so honored to be joined by the show-stopping Gammy Norris!!
She’s the badass mom of Jada Pinkett Smith, host of Red Table Talk, and has been incredibly open and transparent about her past struggles with teen pregnancy, addiction, and abuse and how she evolved into the INCREDIBLE woman she is today.
Gammy is now 70 years old, has been clean for 30 YEARS, and is sharing her insights and struggles she’s had on her journey so you can change your life for the better, and FOR GOOD!
In this episode, we’re digging into:
- How Gammy actually took back control of her life, piece by piece, and how you can too
- Why it’s so important to identify the LIES you are telling yourself that are leaving blinders up in your life
- How to forgive yourself for mistakes in the past & let go of the shame so you can use them to fuel your growth
- Why it’s so frikin’ important to not let the idea that you “can’t” STOP you from even trying
- How to keep yourself from spiraling into regrets so you can let go & actually CHANGE
Now guys, anyone CAN change, but you have to make DIFFERENT choices, change your habits, surround yourself with positive energy, and do the internal work to let go of the shame, guilt and regrets that you have and commit to showing up every day to be better NOW.
You can’t change the past, but you can move forward and make better choices and live a life that is FOR YOU!!

TRUTH BOMBS FROM GAMMY NORRIS:
"The message to me was that what other people think is more important than how you feel, more important than you."
"Turning your will over to the power of God, turning, you know, letting go of all your friends."
"But what I realized was that I don't even think I really understood what honesty was, if that makes any sense."
"And Rodney and I, we talk about everything and anything, and I had never had that before."
"It just got to the point where, you know, one person is growing and the other person is not, and one person is doing the work that they need to do for themselves, and it just doesn't match."
“I understand that for women, a lot of women don't feel like or don't know how they're going to make it on their own because they maybe never been on their own before."
"I'm gonna figure out what it is. Cause it's little, and I know it's right there, you know? So it's that kind of just persistence and not wanting to give up."
"I try to make sure that there is always positivity around me…and your own energy kind of leaves you open to what you're bringing into your life. If you're vibrating up here, then the people around you, the people and the things that come into your life is going to be high energy. But if you're down here in negative land, then that's what you're going to create. That's what you're going to draw to you."

I appreciate Gammy's transparency. She is still healing. Living in her authenticity. I'm proud of her. At 70, she looks beautiful. Keep up the great work. Gammy you are helping others in the process 🙏🏼🙂
I love how Mrs. Norris speaks from her heart and soul. Free from drug addiction she speaks just like a counselor who is reaching out to someone who had hit rock bottom like she did. I hear the strong conviction in every word she spoke. It is nice to see her outcome as a better version of herself.
Mrs. Norris is absolutely gorgeous, and an excellent communicator. I could listen to her and the Smith's all day.
I love hearing from mature women. I feel sad when they talk about how dangerous childhood was (and still is) for girls. I am so glad that women and girls today have more choices.
If she wrote a book on her life's journey and introspections I would buy it!
I love the openness in sharing her personal thoughts and history. Thank you.
Adrienne is a stunning woman and when looking at her without knowing her story, it’s hard to believe that she went through all these experiences
The title is very misleading. She was not single until 62. She married three times!?!?
4 times! 😂 Fascinating story, have to admit I may not have tuned in if the title matched the content. Glad I did tho!
You mean "divorced 2 times before finding the one"
🤣🤣🤣
Respect, absolutely. We are a lot of times really convincing ourselves that some "bad" things what we did in the past, wasn't that bad, however deep down we know that yes, it was really bad. It takes courage and emotional and mental strongness to admit our mistakes. This is the brave thing to admit it, and not denying it. Then of course forgive yourself, because you really can't change history, BUT you can learn from the past to not make the same mistakes again.
It is also amazing that at the age of 70, she is still workout, exercise. I tought that she is like 57-58 years old. I like it that she is aware of the energy thing. When you vibrate on the high, you attract the same high usually, but when your energy is in the low, then you attract the low energy persons. Surrounding yourself with positivity it can only be good for you. Really useful toughts from these two women.
Positivity.
Just started watching. Wow this lady is over 70 ?? How is this possible? 😮
I love her already. Going to watch the rest of the video now. ❤
Awwww this interview with Gammy is so awesome! I so miss her knowledge and input from The Red Table Talk with her beautiful daughter and granddaughter! Thank you for having her and thank you GAM for always sharing! Love ❤️ ❤
I love the way she speaks about positivity ❤
So if you cannot forgive yourself, surrender the emotion of the grief, pain and shame and do that over and over as many times as it takes to get it out and heal your heart because your heart deserves that act of love.
Although we are all different & yet, the same BCUZ of the fact that we're all human beings & on our own journeys in life,...............how do you do this, how!!!?????
Congratulations on your sobriety, finding self worth and love thanks for this story encouraging and honesty
I take my hat off to her and her story! She is literally the bravest woman I have ever met in my life. This is one of the best shows ❤️❤️
Praise God for her freedom. 🎉
I can appreciate her taking full responsibility; most parents don’t.
Love you Lisa, great interview 🎉😊❤
So many life lessons 💯 love the realness
I am so pleased to listen to queen Adrienne's inner view by herself. I love her spirit and believe she still gave Jada a strong ethic and light for life. It was just hidden under so much at the time. I appreciate her honesty and humility, and so, so happy for her. Im taking my time to listen, piece by piece and hope for friendships like that. Thank you Adrienne and Lisa. Peace
Your show is changing my life for the better! Thank you for speaking with these phenomenal game changers!❤
I love this episode! I've enjoyed hearing "Gammy's" points of view ever since she was on Red Table Talk. Mrs. Norris has a very inspiring story and she's gorgeous! 70 where? I hope I'm as fly and in shape when I'm 70. ❤
Great interview Lisa thanks so much ❤
Thank you. My has been past years ago. I’m so lonely. Jesus please give me strength I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus hear my prayers and please continue to give me strength.❤️❤️
The Lord hears you. He will fulfil your needs according to the riches glory in Christ Jesus
Needed this.
You always have good and real people on your interviews Lisa wonderful job such a great help to people struggling with addictions we all have some kind trying to tempt us all every day in this world blessings to this channel May it grow more to touch more people that are in need of healing❤
Enjoyed! Gam is so real and honest when sharing her story! #Imapactful
Outstanding!
Wonderful story of recovery
I knew what abuse looked like, I knew what abusive alcoholism looked like. Almost, almost married it more than once. However, then, I did not know how to love & trust enough to marry. 😢
Thank you 🙏
satan knows the weaknesses you had to deal with from your past and will never stop throwing that lifestyle back at you! So when that happens you know where’s it’s coming from! I am so Proud of you! Good for you!! Always reach out to God for strength and endurance!!! 😊
Wow she looks amazing for 70!
Blessings ❤
Will Smith s Mom in law?
IKR - in other words, Jada Pinkett Smith's mother??????????
🙄
I’m glad someone said it! I would take this with a grain of salt
Ladies, don’t marry young … give yourself time to gain knowledge. Don’t date ANYONE who does any kind of drugs…take the “right path”. Don’t put your life on the Chopping Block like she did. Learn from her words, please!!!
Wow Lisa I love all your interviews but THIS ONE .....😮
❤️
I was horrified at the beginning - she married against her will. Jada repeated same. Transfer of trauma from generation to generation
She sounds so much like Jada that I have to skip this one.
Is there a reason why you no longer introduce your guests Lisa? It is like we are coming into the interview half way through…its weird
❤
