As you have spoken about, have a real range of guests, but I think that you approach everyone on like a very sincere and consistent level. And I think that you as a person are very real. that sort of brings out like a real openness in the people that you talk with. But you also like. Clarify at every sort of point, any part that you don't understand, which not only makes, it helps you understand It brings like the audience in a way that a lot of other people don't, whether because they don't want to ask questions because they don't want to look like they don't know or whatever. You are like very authentic and like. It's incredibly calming to be around. So

  4. In more recent years, I think I've well, you know, grown up, but also sort of like, you know, been more independent. And like that is like adjusted our relationship, as it does, like, you know, very naturally. But it's just been interesting for the two of us to navigate that from being quite in ways codependent, you know, like she traveled with me while I was like between the age of like like 12 to 16, 17 and like those are usually the years when everyone's like, mom, like you're not cool. I don't like you.

  5. I mean, It's like it has been my whole life. I mean, she kind of gave me the greatest gift of all and just like supported whatever it is that I wanted to do. And it kind of led me to the most extraordinary places, and we did a lot together.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  6. It did a lot of the things that I had noticed about myself. Like, I always remember my mum being like, yeah. And she was sort of forced to do things that, like, she just, you know. And so, but it was like funny because he was sort of telling me all these things. I'm like, yeah, but my mom does that. And he's going, yeah, it runs in the family. I'm like, oh, interesting. So, yeah, it was quite an interesting thing just for me and my mom to go through, actually. Yeah. Like had more perspective on myself, but also more perspective on her too, which was kind of cool.

  7. I've been speaking to a psychiatrist for like a long time, so he's known me for quite a while. And we've sort of like, yeah, between him and therapy that I do sort of more actively more regularly.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  8. To correct it, I tried to get some scent over, but that wasn't working for a lot of different reasons. But I guess the main thing that I did. Was like stop beating myself up about like. Not. Like organizing it better so as I had it because I was already feeling like Terrible. Know torturing yourself over this and telling yourself, oh, you could have your medication right now if you'd have just or if you'd have just done this, then You'd be fine right now, but instead you're gonna struggle, like, instead of sort of going down that path, I just was like, it's done. I can't change it Like I can't do this like like my my brain is like hitting a wall with like, you know, I don't know to-do list or like whatever. And I just have to ride it out.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  9. There's like a lot of different things I'm thinking of, and I don't Okay, so I have been working in Paris recently, as you know. And I was diagnosed like a year and a half ago with ADHD and I take medication every day. And I prescribe that in the UK and I'm like working in France. I ran out And couldn't get any more in time to go away. I don't know if this is going to be insightful. No, it doesn't need to be insightful.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  10. One, that's really, really stressful. And two, I don't do that. And it sometimes just like most of the time just sort of falls into. And so I've always thought that was really interesting. So, in those times where I was like, I need to be doing this right now, but like I can't do it, I can't focus, I can't, whatever. I'm like the space, the block of time where I'm supposed to do this is going to find me. That sounds like I'm like avoiding all responsibilities

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  11. Hypothetical or whatever dense things about the history of the universe and like what we all are and what it all means. But he said something very interesting recently where he was like, I feel like what time can do is like arrange itself before you and like he sort of talks about like his schedule like sometimes in a week like there's a million meetings and they're all happening at the same time and it's like uh like are you gonna go like i need to change everything he was like or do you just like let it be and then it magically kind of like this person needs to do something earlier and this person needs to do something like later so like these calls all move and then we need to counsel because so got covid like he was like it like if i like stress and try and manipulate my calendar to be like perfect

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  12. Well, I mean, it's changed a lot, but I think currently I don't. I don't try and control time. This is taking too long. This isn't this needs to happen now. Like, oh, I should be doing this, but I haven't. I've spent like a lot of my time. I've spent a lot of my time torturing myself over like whether I spent time in like the most like. Useful way or whatever. Um, It all, I feel like we even said something recently because we've been talking about time a lot and like sort of this discussion like is it linear like And this is kind of like, you know, quite. Can be quite sort of.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  13. Yeah, yeah. I think like the snowball of like opportunities that like or possibilities that it opens up when you just like Yeah, you don't tell yourself, no, I can't do that anymore because I don't have time or I don't have You know, it's like, yeah, I have to do this instead, or I have to do this instead. Switching like a little portion of your week Like, freely creating. I think it can bring incredible things for people.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  14. Yeah, well And this is what I always want to be like incredibly. I guess From that person's perspective, yeah, I don't have a clue like what I'm talking about, right? And it's like, it's all like. Very nice, like in theory, but like get in the real world and like I understand that perspective. And that's why I think it's like a like. Like a problem that's rooted through even the way that children are educated all the way through to like the way we see like our working lifespan.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  15. And so it's like, but what about like the whole world? Like, not that the whole world is like a company or whatever, but like, what if we could all do what we're like that comes effortlessly to us? Like, Yeah. And it's not just like a bunch of people sitting around painting. Like, it's not that at all. If you think about artists as that very sort of like. But if people were free to create and to explore their mind and express through building, through making.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  16. And finding what you create very freely and like being able to do that as much as possible is like an incredibly fulfilling thing. And it doesn't have to be like painting or like these very sort of rudimentary, like clear sort of artist industries. Don't know, like, I've listened to some business podcasts and stuff and they talk about running a company. You can probably have more insight on this, but When people are doing what they're amazing at, and like other people are doing things that they're amazing at and you don't get people to do things that like they're very slow at and like don't understand or like don't like doing or like and that's like how you can like move very quickly

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  17. I do. And I think that you can, there's a lot of words you can use for that that might make, you know, people more comfortable with that as a label. But I think fundamentally like. Since the beginning of time, like humans have made things, and they've just got increasingly like complex and like they maybe they've altered like the human state in like lots of ways and like you know the way we think and the way we behave or whatever but like we've always made things like our fundamental level like we've used tools and we we make things And whether you see your approach to life or your mind as more analytical or something, like there's still like creation, like you're still creating things.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  18. Like there's a piece that's like missing, and like if I try and really talk about things honestly, like I just know that there's this like massive like hole that I'm like dancing around the edge of. And I don't think that it, like, yeah. Think that that helps anything so. Yeah. Guess, like, what I wanted to speak about today, and like we've got, we have spoken about it. And it's been a lot more emotional than I, you know, anticipated, but it always is, right? Know, like freedom of expression and like making art really did change everything and like. Want other people to feel that. Like, I couldn't talk about that without fully talking about what it helped me escape from, I guess. So

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  19. Yes. But I had prepared. Well, no, I just had. I wanted Sometimes I'm anxious because I don't know where it's going to go. Other times I'm anxious because It's like, are you going to be open or not? Or are you going to be honest or not? I guess, yeah. So that was sort of the anxious thing where it was like. Know I went to morning yoga this morning and I was doing breathing exercises in the car because it's like it's very easy to slip back into the like

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  20. I don't know. It's just like that, like the media training part of you that's like don't say this. And also because a lot of things that I've discussed, like they do concern other people. And so, you know, there's that as well because it just gets, yeah, I don't know. It's fine. It's fine. It's going to be okay I'm just trying to convince this time.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  21. I'm like It's very liberating to speak this freely. With you in this private setting, but like understanding that it's going to be public because I've never really done that, I don't think. And I'm a bit scared. I have to be honest, like I'm quite like concerned. A little bit, it's like creeping him. I really hope that it can help the people that it's like, you know. I don't know, well, I hope, but yeah, I hope it's okay.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  22. Know every possibility on the other side, or is it just like safer to not and like get by and like it's okay because I'm not hurting anyone and like I hurt myself a little bit, but like I can deal with it. It's like that's the thing you and it's like that's a hard decision to make and there's never a right time and like it never like happens as fast as you want it to happen and you just like have to choose like that ultimately is a choice that only you can make and you can't make for other people You can't like persuade them and you can't like You have to choose, and you have to do that multiple times where you go, I'm fixed now, and then you're not. And so you have to choose again, like, am I going to get back on the horse or am I going to not? And yeah, just.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  23. I've definitely always been searching, I think. I'd always been searching, but I never knew how to go deeper, how to like, yeah, okay. And I think. Meditation Therapy The pandemic like, well, because we were just at home every single day, like a lot of variables stopped shifting. So I could track my mood like more. Accurately, because, like, there wasn't a bunch of different things happening each day, but I could see it. So I guess the stillness, you know. Like you have to You have to choose what you want. There's comfort sometimes within the pain or within Onion And you have to. Choose whether Going there. Is going to be like paint the most painful thing you ever do, but like have.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  24. Yeah, sometimes people who you love and are very, very close to you and like You'll never be able to control that or force them to or do it for them.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  25. I think it's like a scary thing to start buying off. And then once you start buying off, then you start to realize like how selfish that you've been and you don't like yourself for a number of reasons, but then you start to. Like, not other reasons to dislike yourself, but it's like. Just, I don't know, I feel like I like there's you have one life and like, and I've been spending all of this time like stopping myself from doing it. And like, that's awful of myself to do that, but it's also to do that to yourself. Also, just like a waste of all of that, and there's like that other perspective. But yeah, just like stopping and having that. Having that sort of conversation, I guess, like with myself has changed everything. It's changed like. It's been so much better now. So much better, and it's less tiring.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  26. Think that it's like quite a scary, even though like on the other side of self-discovery or like trauma healing, like on the other side of it is like the answer to all of your problems, like it's terrifying. It's terrifying to look inside you because you've always told yourself that like you're not good enough and like it's terrifying because you're worried you're going to look inside and be like, oh, all of those things were true. But no, it's terrifying to be like, wait, maybe like I am actually worthy of a good life. And maybe I'm stopping myself from doing that. Like that's a crime. That's not like, and I think, I mean, it's like I've said this a lot, but it is a journey.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  27. Then, oh now Yeah, I think that that's like exactly how I feel. And like, it's so. Like it's so exhausting like. Performing in that way is not fulfilling, it's not real. Was like, I guess I was that way as an escape from. From the choir, like, I didn't know what was going to be in there when I stopped. Like.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  28. It's like should not be as hard as it is for people to be in that position. And when I'm down about the world and like. Whether it's the government, the environment, or anything. Like, kind of wonder. I'm like, what if more people could do what they love for a living? Like, would we actually be in just in a better place? Not that those things like influence any of these poor decisions Like, I see, like, so much, there's a lot of pain, like, there's a lot of pain in the world and life causes people a lot of pain. And I, um... Yeah, I just feel. Like art and like expression through art and like channeling like creativity. I wonder if that would contribute to making the world a better I want for that to contribute to making the world a better place.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  29. Mission definitely I mean The freedom Like the joy, the. I feel through performing And it's changed my life, right? Like, we're at a place where, you know. There's a lot of people who Want to make art creative people who want to sustain a lifestyle of like making art and like, you know, whether that be acting, singing, you know, writing. And now, I guess, like the mission is I want to build companies or like, you know, work with people and kind of continue the ethos of like. Pushing creative people to be able to sort of like sustain a life of creative work because I'm like in a very fortunate position where I do what I love and what I do also bring me money and the way that the work makes me feel is like the best thing ever. And like those three things I think are like a foundational piece of being like a human and like

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  30. Guess, like control over, no, control. That sounds like. I guess it would be like looking back at all of the moments and seeing that the conscious decisions that were made rather than just like acting on impulse, right? Guess success would be like that was a point that was really challenging and like I feel really proud that I didn't slip back into that old habit or I didn't like, you know. I didn't just go completely selfish and think, oh, my problems are the worst in the world. Like, I just had a bit of perspective and I like pick myself up and I kept going. I guess that's like I would look back on those moments and feel like those decisions like would define those 10 years and I'd be like proud of that. Um

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  31. This path or this path, like, are you going to behave one way or another way? Are you going to do the things that you don't like about yourself and continue to do them? Or are you going to like do it differently? You're going to like talk about yourself in a different way. And that's like, it's every second. And there's no other side to it. I don't know, maybe enlightenment if you believe that. It's about The Journey

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  32. Yeah, but like, I mean, I guess success would be knowing in my soul that like I deserve any of any of those things. Or like just, uh, Feeling adequate. What is success? Well, I've already said that I don't feel like it's a destination, right? It's like happening every second. It's not like it can't look, I can't stand on the other side of success and look back and be like, well, look at that moment. It's like what you look back on. It's every like every time you were at a crossroads or a decision and like how what did you choose to do? That's all you can control. It's like what's happening right now. Like, are you going to choose?

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  33. Well, Just because I have this other sort of theory that I've been like stewing for a while where it's like you hate them like you despise the most like what you are. Or, like you reject the most who you are inside.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  34. Aren't bad qualities to have as a person, so why, like, why, you know. Am I so ashamed of that or like whatever Like, why, yeah, why am I tripping myself up to not be that? Maybe because once that wasn't good enough, right? And I'm telling myself, like, you know, that's not good enough.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  35. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. If I had to really think about it, maybe it's like. If that's really who I am at my core, which I really feel like I'm speaking from the heart. There's pain there because Why was I made to feel like I was such a monster, you know? Painful because I think, like, if I take away all of the things that I project and, oh, like I'm someone who like speaks their mind and like, I don't care what you think. But I like take all of that away. And I'm like, who am I really? And I actually just like, you know. Someone who's quite sensitive and like wants to make, you know, want to be considerate of the people around them. Why do you just keep putting things in front of you that are going to stop you from just being that when who you truly are isn't a bad thing?

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  36. I am. Like a kind and sensitive Person And I want to. Want to other people to feel happy. Like I want to, I can't make people happy. But I want to am considerate of people around me and like how they might be feeling or whatever.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  37. And then you go like, wow, every single thing that I've defined myself as like. Can all be different. And like that's like real freedom, I think Like, yeah, just one of those little pieces. Everything you thought you knew about the world, just like changes, you can then be like, what else? I'm wrong about, or like, what else not like even right or wrong? It's like, what other ways can I experience this? Like, how else? Like, what new sort of like possibilities are there? Like who I am and what I'm going to do.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  38. I realize this pattern that I hadn't been able to capture, like catch before. And yeah, it's been incredible. It's been like four years now when we live together. I've like never knew that peace and joy and like happiness and Coexisting with another person could be this way. I never saw this in my life. And like it's just all new and like. You are all beautiful.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  39. And cut off like whatever emotions were there and just like Marie, sorry, like it's not really gonna work type thing. And then with confronted with someone like Reuben who I think that I met someone who whenever I would start doing that and start going like ugh He saw it within me and was like, You see what you're doing, like you're like trying to sabotage yourself again. And like you can do that. Like, I'm not going to stop you. It was the first time that someone was patient enough. Know, even though you're really trying to push them away to be like, that's fine. Like, I'm not trying to tell you not to, but like just observe what is happening right now. You can sleep on it fine, like you can sleep on it for a month if you want to, fine, like, whatever. And it was the first time that. Yeah, I

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  40. I think that I definitely like resonated when you spoke about Rejecting a lot of relationships, friendships, or whatever, because it's like cringe or like not real or like whatever. I feel like I definitely spent a lot of time doing that and never really confronted. The part of myself that Know it was like desperate to love and be loved, but I didn't really know how or didn't really know what that looked like or whatever. I don't really know how deep to go with this. I never had relationships where I was mistreated. But that was mostly because my trauma response was like whenever there was like any hint of like. I don't know, conflict. I was like, I'm out. Like. I don't. I've seen this one before, and I'm not going to be hoodwinked by this. But the truth is, is like they were just like nice people. And I just ran away.

On a weeknight type thing, it's usually like with dinner or like, you know, A gay goal with friends, or Yeah, a lot of that is like quite. Quite a welcome. Release, I guess It wasn't like something that I

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  43. I, yeah, yeah. But it was like definitely something that I was like, I need to stop doing this if I want to like feel happiness.

    2022-09-26 · The Diary of a CEO · Maisie Williams: The Painful Past Of A Game Of Thrones Star · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  44. Yeah. I don't want to undermine it, but I guess. Whom I say, like, what normal teenagers do and what normal teenagers don't do. But, you know, I like party, like took a lot of party drugs and like. Partied when I was like a teenager. And I was in the position where I could buy more, but I didn't really do that, you know, to a terrible degree.
