Overall, the experience taught her the importance of emotional connections in driving ratings and the need to balance spirituality with business success.
Showing value to make someone realize feelings: Demonstrating self-worth and attractiveness can help make someone realize their feelings, but true value goes beyond physical appearance. Financial aspects of TV contracts can greatly vary depending on network, episodes, and star power.
