Still, she pulled through — and now, she's committed to using her singing career to make a difference.。
Thanks for signing up! 。
"I promised [God], 'If you make me a singer one day, I’m going to use my voice for so much more than singing, and I’m going to help people with it,'" she told Smith.。
Sticking to her commitment, she's brought CAST's founder and CEO Mike Bayer on her tour with Nick Jonas this summer, holding mental health workshops with fans before every concert. 。
Lovato also spoke about mental illness at this year's Democratic National Convention. "I stand here today as proof that you can live a normal and empowered life with mental illness," she said at the event. 。
