Summary

Episode 142: Happy New Year to the realest listeners out there! Natalie couldn’t think of a better way to ring in the year and start off 2022 strong than by hopping on the mic. Not going to lie - 2021 was a bit of a blur and time feels like it froze back in 2020, but there is a lot of hope for the year ahead. Natalie is back for a solo episode to reflect on the previous year and share her highs and lows in her career and personal life as well goals and ambitions for 2022. She opens up about the challenges she faced in moving to Miami and how she felt incredibly lonely in the beginning. She also shares her experiences with social media burnout and pressure, her hesitancy to complain, and how this year is going to involve a lot more rest and relaxation. We hope this episode inspires you and encourages you to reflect on this past year as well!

0:41.4

year by chatting just one-on-one with you.

0:44.0

I cannot believe that it's already 2022.

0:46.4

Like I feel like time has permanently frozen at around 2020 March to be specific but no seriously

0:55.5
