When Lainey Wilson finally made it in the music industry, she was so overwhelmed that it gave her anxiety and depression since it all happened at once. 

“I was like, ‘Why in the world am I depressed during this time of my life?  This is everything I’ve ever wanted.  I had several breakdowns, I guess you could say, I was just losing it. I was like, ‘I don’t know if I can, like, go any further.'”

Lainey turned to Reba McEntire for advice to pull herself out of the vicious cycle and keep going.

“[Reba] said, ‘I do it for somebody else.’ And that right there has put so much in perspective for me.  I get on that stage and I do it for other people.”

She talks about it in her new documentary, “Lainey Wilson: Keepin’ Country Cool”, which premiered April 22nd.
