Yahoo Lifestyle Rachael Ray Shares Deep Message About 'When Things Are Sad' After Sparking Health Concerns
Rachael Ray is all for sharing her best tips, tricks and hacks, and now, she's even expanding her advice column outside of the cooking arena.
On the latest episode of her new podcast, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, the celebrity chef and cookbook author chatted with actor Billy Crudup, offering listeners a deep dive into their careers, personal lives and opinions on what to do "when things are sad" or "everything feels bad."

"That's the beauty of life," Ray said about halfway through the conversation, which initially hit streamers on Tuesday, Oct. 29, suggesting that if you want to live a long life or have a longstanding career, "You have to learn to understand when things are sad, and what everything means ultimately to your choices."
"Not everything that feels bad is bad," the 56-year-old Food Network personality explained. "Sometimes things that happen to you, that from the outside look sad, they also help you propel forward and understand other people."
Crudup, also 56, said he "couldn't agree more," adding that her statement applies to life, not just one's career, in "a myriad of ways."
"The only way out of a complicated situation is through it and not around it and not running away from it," The Morning Show star added. "You just have to face it head-on."
The duo's conversation and guidance come at an interesting time, as Ray's long-running show ended after nearly two decades last year and, more recently, she sent fans spiraling with a new cooking video she shared, in which some said they were "seriously concerned" by her appearance and claimed she was "slurring" her speech or suggested she may have been having a "mini-stroke."
Shortly after speculation over the now-viral video first began heating up, a rep for the 30 Minute Meals host told TMZ in September that the cookbook author has "no comment" on the matter. She later offered a cryptic health update, telling fans in the debut episode of her podcast that she "had a couple of bad falls in the last couple of weeks" that have kept her from the activities she loves–even the most mundane chores like carrying wood and making dinner–and didn't elaborate any further.
