Summary
In this week’s episode, I have the lovely Rebecca Black joining me for some real candid conversation. We talk about her rise to fame from her viral music video, “Friday”, reinventing herself as a singer and artist, and finding her way out in Los Angeles at just 18 years old. Rebecca may still be young (22 now), but she is surely an old soul, and I relate to her on so many levels. I appreciate how much work she’s done on herself, and how she uses her growth to help other young people watching her YouTube channel.

| 0:07.3 | Hey, this is Alexis Haines and welcome to Recovering from Reality, where I illuminate the |
| 0:12.6 | messy and magical path of coming home to yourself. Whether you're on the road to recovery, |
| 0:18.0 | seeking self-care techniques for surviving the capitalist machine, or just need a moment to |
| 0:22.9 | remember that you're not alone in your loneliness. We're serving up the ultimate truth. Your challenges |
| 0:29.7 | don't define you, how you deal with them does. So are you ready to recover from reality? |
| 0:39.0 | Thank you so much for coming on. Thank you for having me. This is great. So my friend Michael Levine |
| 0:44.9 | messaged me a few weeks ago and he goes, do you know where Becca Black and I said, no, I don't, |
| 0:49.1 | no, when he goes that song Friday, like, how could you have missed it? It was it was really that |
| 0:53.8 | time period and then I said, I don't know, I don't know how I could have missed it. And he goes, |
| 0:58.9 | oh, you were in jail. Oh, that's, you're the only person in the world. Oh, my God. Who didn't know |
| 1:07.6 | about Friday because you were in jail. So then I texted a group, a group thread of my friends, |
| 1:14.9 | like eight friends, two of whom are Canadian. One of whom is my husband who's 45 years old. And I |
| 1:20.0 | said, do you know that Friday song? And then they all started, I'm sure. I'm sure everybody knows that. |
| 1:26.4 | And so I was like, I need to have you on because all forever be known for one thing. Sure. |
| 1:32.8 | And you'll forever be known for one thing. Sure. The key is how do you turn that one thing into |
| 1:38.8 | success? And I think that that is what makes our stories so interesting and makes us people of |
| 1:47.6 | substance, you know, and and gives people kind of hope that if Alexis, you know, Nires will forever |
| 1:56.4 | be known as, you know, I twice convicted fellow and bling ring member. And Rebecca Black will |

| 2:09.2 | the way back because I didn't realize how young you still are. Yeah. I thought you were like, |
| 2:15.2 | so I so relate to that. But I actually am older now, like old approaching 30. |
