Summary

Episode 229: Join Nat for one of her most vulnerable episodes to date as she reflects on the year following her breakup. With raw emotions recording in NYC, where she’s flooded with a million memories, she opens up about the nostalgia she’s feeling and where her head and heart are at now, one year later. She shares the music that’s been giving her all the feels, like Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan, and Zach Bryan, and is opening up about her healing journey, emphasizing that it’s not linear; it’s often filled with both progress and setbacks, and that’s ok too. She then expresses her appreciation for the friends that have brought her back to life this year and how grateful she is for the bond that’s strengthened with her family. Nat also gives us a little inside look at her dating life and her headspace surrounding that. Tune in as Nat shares a very realistic and raw update on how she’s doing, her feelings about the future, and the faith she has in the universe. If you are going through something similar or have experienced heartbreak yourself, you are not alone, and this one's for you!

0:04.0	Welcome to the Real Real, where I take you behind the Instagram reel and into the real lives of entrepreneurs,
0:16.4	content creators, and anyone who inspires me and may inspire you too.
0:20.4	I'm your host Natalie Barbu and let's get into it. Hello everybody welcome back to the real real podcast with me Natalie
0:36.0	Barboo in today's episode I am doing a solo episode and based on the title it is going to be my one year being single recap I
0:46.1	really want to do this I was gonna say every year but I hope I don't need to do it
0:51.4	every year I hope by at least in the next two years I don't need to say that I've been continuously single
0:58.7	ideally but so I for this will probably be the only recap because I don't want to talk about my previous
1:06.9	relationship for like two three years in a row so enjoy the recap but no this is not going to be
1:12.1	about my previous relationship this not going to be about my previous relationship. This is going to be about my one year being single. I posted my breakup podcast last year around this time on August 22nd was the day that my boyfriend and I had broken up and if you have not
1:26.9	listened to that episode yet then I highly encourage it because it does give you a back story and I
1:31.7	cannot listen to it I don't really like to
1:33.8	listen to my old episodes but that one specifically will make me sob so I

1:53.4	So right now I'm recording this and I'm actually in New York City.
1:56.2	I've been here since August 22nd, which yes, that was the exact one year anniversary of the breakup and it was really hard I'm not going to
2:06.7	lie I kind of feel like I might start crying in this episode because I haven't had a good cry about it in a really long time and I've just been thinking about it a lot I think because
2:18.4	One it's been a year like I've said maybe 20 times in the past minute.
2:23.4	But also, I'm in New York and my ex boyfriend does live here.
2:29.0	And when I lived here, I was in a relationship with him.
2:32.4	So every corner of New York City reminds me of him and so it's
2:38.1	really hard to be here. I'm not going to lie. It's very hard. I feel like I've talked about him non-stop the whole time that I've been here.
