Summary

Episode 121: If you love reality TV and Bravo is your go-to, you will likely know this guest and recall all the drama from her last season of Summer House. The one and only, absolutely hilarious, Hannah Berner joins Natalie in person this week from Gotham Studios in NYC! The two form an instant friendship and share a fascinating conversation about breaking stereotypes, building confidence, and rediscovering your identity. Reality TV junkies are in for a captivating episode as Hannah takes listeners behind the scenes of Summer House and discloses what it is truly like to have cameras following you around 24/7. Being an entertainer and influencer always comes with a price, and Hannah and Natalie open up about the impact of social media and hateful messages on their mental health. Today’s episode dives into what it’s like to date in the public eye (and why it’s probably best to avoid), the challenges of being a woman in comedy, and how the “villain” isn’t always who you think it is. Be prepared to laugh out loud, re-think your time online, and reconnect with your childhood self. Thank you so much for being a part of our podcast community!

0:04.0	Welcome to the Real Real, where I take you behind the Instagram reel and into the real lives of
0:16.1	entrepreneurs, content creators, and anyone who inspires me and may inspire you too.
0:20.9	I'm your host Natalie Barboo and let's get into it.
0:23.7	I mean I went on reality TV kind of the concept of your
0:29.7	podcast which is like I don't think I fit a natural character on most reality TV shows there's like the hot one the like the hot mess one the like truth teller the but I just felt like I I want to show that women could be so much more complex.
0:44.1	They could be sporty be funny. They could be depressed. They could be silly.
0:48.1	They could be stupid. They could be smart. Like I just I have I'm kind of messy like that and I didn't want to be aspirational like I didn't want people to be like I wish I was perfect like her I wanted people to be like real podcast.

1:16.3	single week has been a different city Boston.
1:20.2	So I'm currently in Boston.

1:54.0	And now I don't have to come to Boston anymore, which is also very exciting for me.
1:58.8	Not that I don't like Boston, but I don't really love Boston. I don't know. It's definitely not on my list of favorite cities to visit. I would say I really visit just because of Kion
2:10.4	But as a city in general, I don't need to come back for a while.
2:14.0	Everyone that's listening from Boston is probably like, wait, what?
2:18.0	But yeah, I just, it's definitely not my favorite city.
2:20.0	But anyways, I am so excited because today's episode I am recording with
2:24.7	Hannah Burner, which I feel like most people that are listening to this
