Inland Empire Health Plan and iHeartRadio’s Covering Your Health podcast welcomes “American Idol” Abi Carter to the iHeart Riverside studios for a 30-minute chat with host Evelyn Erives.
The conversation covers a range of topics, including Carter’s upbringing in the city of Indio, how she was discovered by “Idol” producers to audition for the show, and her recent mental health awareness partnership with the Rancho Cucamonga-based health plan.
“I remember feeling that I couldn’t talk to people I know because I didn’t want to bother them. I didn’t want to weigh them down,” she shared during the episode, which launched Dec. 2. “I found that in talking to a therapist, somebody who is a professional in being able to compartmentalize their own feelings about a person, they are just so helpful because they can see things objectively and are just there to talk with you.”
Carter’s full episode is available for download through the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. You can also view the conversation below.
