Country music icon Naomi Judd’s media blitz continues as she opens up about her new paperback “River of Time: My Descent Into Depression and How I Emerged With Hope” with an appearance on HLN’s “Morning Express with Robin Meade” this Thursday, January 11.

Judd is all over national television this winter to promote “River of Time” and raise awareness about mental health stigmas, including appearances on TODAY, HARRY, Dr. Oz, Access Hollywood, Varney and Co. and Huckabee. “I wrote it with the sincere hope of offering encouragement to the 40 million Americans who suffer from depression and anxiety every minute of every day and night,” Judd said. “I want them to know that I understand, and I’m here to help.”

Judd first captured the attention of the entire world as half of The Judds, which she formed with her daughter Wynonna. The Judds sold 20 million records, scored fifteen No. 1 hits, and received more than 60 industry awards, including six GRAMMY® awards and seven consecutive CMA Vocal Group of the Year trophies. That ride came to a screeching halt when Naomi was diagnosed with Hepatitis C––and given only three years to live. Instead of accepting her fate, the former registered nurse educated herself and pursued healing. Today, Naomi is Hep C-free––a medically documented miracle.
