Singer and actor Demi Lovato is known for baring their soul in music and sharing life stories — from rape to surviving a near death-drug overdose.

Lovato debuted a new talk show called “The Demi Lovato Show” last week. Topics discussed with celebrity guests and experts include sex and body positivity, transgender rights and police reform. The show streams on the free Roku Channel and episodes are 10 minutes.

“Some conversations can be difficult, but I’ve never been one to shy away from speaking candidly about things,” Lovato said in a statement. “We wanted to create a space that normalizes living your own truth — where people can speak, engage and more importantly, learn, together.”

Last year, Lovato released a documentary, “Dancing with the Devil,” where they spoke openly about how they lost their virginity during a rape, and how they endured the trauma through self-harm. The documentary also addressed how a drug overdose caused Lovato to go through three strokes and a heart attack.

Lovato announced on podcast “4D” they are nonbinary, preferring pronouns “they” and “them.”

“Demi Lovato is a voice of a generation and we’re beyond excited to elevate their voice with new audiences,” said Brian Tannenbaum, Roku’s head of original alternative programming.
