Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is Conversationous with Olivia Jade and my Heart Radio podcast.
Hello everybody, Welcome back to another episode of Conversations. I'm
your host, Olivia Jade, and I am really really excited
for this episode because it's one of my best friends
who's coming on as my guest. I have known this
(00:23):
girl since basically birth. Our moms worked on a TV
show together. She's one of my oldest friends. We were
kind of forced to be friends and then just hit
it off at a really young age, and yeah, I've
kind of been stuck with each other ever since. So
with that being said, please welcome Natasha barrd Okay, buddy,
(00:48):
what's up? What's up buddy? How he's feeling? We're feeling good?
Are you? You look pretty? Basy? Look pretty too? Um.
This is gonna feel like a FaceTime for us yet again.
Last time Natasha and I went Instagram live, we like
forgot we were live and we're just talking literally nonsense. Um.
But for those that don't know you, do you want
(01:09):
to introduce yourself? What you do, who you are? Hi? Guys,
Hi guys. I'm Natasha Bray. I I'm twenty three years old.
I do a lot of different things. I act, I
do music, YouTube, I wrote a book. I'm kind of
I'm kind of all over the place a little bit,
but I just love sharing my life on social media
(01:32):
and getting to know you guys and um hopefully making
a positive impact into younger girls lives through Yeah, you
wrote a book, Yeah, let's be real. When I was
like seventeen, why do I not recall this? Dot? Did it?
I wrote it? I wrote it when I was like seventeen,
(01:52):
right out of UM, right out of high school. And
what was it about? Um? It was basically about being
real in a time period where I feel like, well,
I still feel like this is super true for anyone
any age, but with social media and growing up, I
felt like I had to be so perfect online and
(02:14):
have this image in persona that was like squeaky clean
and edited and like base tuned in like all this stuff.
And I feel like a lot of people I weren't
talking about real life situations, whether it be with boys
or periods, or family issues or mental health or whatever.
And I would literally go on YouTube to find answers
because none of my friends to talk about it. None
(02:34):
of my family members were really talking about it, and
so I kind of wish that I had like this
older sister that would have told me all of and
all this stuff. So I just wrote it kind of
from my personal experience. Is the good and the bad
of just like life when I was a teenager and
what it was like and I was so young, and
I look back and I'm like, I don't even know
if any of my advice was good, but it was good.
It was it was fun, like you know, doing it
(02:56):
in the moment. But I would never write another one. So, okay,
one done, great when I've done. Maybe when I'm older,
But like, definitely, I'm so not. I'm so not you know,
yes writer like and so you know, some people are
more like audible, some people are marketing. I'm definitely not.
(03:18):
I can't really put my thoughts on the papers that quickly.
I feel like my mind moved so fast. So doing
something like this is really fun. But writing a book
was so challenging. Yeah, And I feel like nowadays there's
so many ways to get advice through to people through
social media and through video and talking, which I mean
and you obviously love to do is just like talk
to people and talk to a camera and um, but
a book is that I haven't even thought about that
(03:40):
part of life yet. I honestly feel like I like
the idea of doing a podcast better because it's still
all the same stories and it might not be as
like crisp and clean the wording of it all, but
it's just still the same like ron realness that you
would have in a book. I feel like, yeah, for sure. Well,
for those of you that don't know, Natasha and I
have known each other since we were what like literally
(04:02):
I was probably like one and you were two. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Our moms were on a show together. They were in
Full House, and Natasha's mom played DJ and my mom
played Aunt Becky. And that's how we met. Well, I mean,
we weren't all we weren't alive yet, we didn't me,
but yeah, that's how we met. We just met. Where
did we meet, Like, where did they introduce us when
(04:24):
we were kids? I don't know, I just know, but
like probably Jeff Franklin's house. Yeah, you guys, when we
were a little the creator of Full House, Jeff Franklin
had v or he still has the house. But we
just thought it was in the coolest house and the
entire world. I mean, it is. It's the coolest ast ever,
Like I would I would, I would like to just
die there. It's amazing. No, I told you this. Remember
(04:47):
when we were together the other weekend and I used
to convince my mom like can I please have my
birthday party? Yet? I was will you tell them the
mac story about how he asked so. So yeah, Jeff
has the most beautiful house I've ever seen. Like water slides,
shark tanks. Yes, and uh, it's just studying, like the
(05:12):
view everything. You can't beat it. Honestly, when we were younger,
it felt like Disneyland when I would go there because
I was like, this is so fun, and I with
all my friends and my my youngest brother Max, Um,
he was just obsessed with that house. And I think
at one point he literally asked my mom like, can
Jeff be my godfather? I can live here if something
happens to you guys, And I don't think so genius,
(05:36):
I know, and I don't even know. Jeff's like agreed,
but he like is aware of it because my mom
was like, all right, I guess Jeff your godfather. If
something happens, I'll go there. It's such a smart outlook
though for Max to have at that young of an
age like here, let me just think about if God
forbid something happens to my mom or dad, who can
parent me? Oh the guy with the sickest house. And
(05:59):
it's funny because of anyone who would have think that, like,
it would be Max, you know, like for sure. So
that's like a little background obviously as to how we
know each other. And then I mean we've been friends
forever since then for our entire lives. Like I would
say that, you know, those types of friends you have
for so long in your life, you don't need to
see or talk to them every day for the entire
(06:20):
time of your friendship. But like right when you're back together,
it's nothing changed. That's how I feel like we are
with each other. Um. So I took to Instagram and
obviously you did too. I saw um to get some questions.
This is a good one of somebody how they phrased it.
Somebody said, how is life living in the spotlight and
(06:42):
the pressure of being a celebrities kid? Is your goal
not to be blanks daughter and be known for something else?
I really love that question. Um, I don't know how
you feel about it, but for me, growing up. Uh.
I always felt since I was super little that I
was like Candice's daughter. And I think especially because with
(07:07):
acting it's something that like, I'm so passionate about and
I love and that's also what my mom just happens
to do. I had to start separating myself at a
certain age and really trying to like form my own identity,
and that can be really hard when you get boxed
into that. And it's funny because I think a lot
of people to think that I saw my mom acting
(07:29):
and was like, oh, that's what I want to do.
But I never even saw my mom on set, Like
I didn't even really see her work till I was
probably ten or eleven, and by then I already knew
what I wanted to do. So um, I feel like
it's uh, I feel it can just be difficult to
find her own identity or know what your identity is,
but then still have people look at you for something else.
Do you feel that way at all? I mean, I
(07:50):
know it's different because your your career is so different
than what my mom does. Yeah, in the acting sense,
I think for me, I mean I never even initially
expected or wanted to be in the public eye. When
I was younger, like when I started my YouTube channel,
I did not think that was going to garner like
any sort of following. I didn't think that, um, I
(08:12):
would be written about a news outlets like Paparazzi. None
of that. That never even had crossed my mind. Um,
I just knew I really liked makeup in fashion and
filming it on YouTube. So for me, it was never
really an issue because I felt like when I was younger, especially,
it was really fun when I would get invited to events,
I could bring my mom as my date, and I
would be like super proud of it. I think that's
(08:33):
why I enjoy social media so much, to try to
have people like know me on my own and to
be like, you know, this is obviously something I grew
up with or these are the people that I'm friends
with or have family members, but this is me, and
I feel like both of us also too, are very
independent and like have our own just our own situations
(08:55):
going on. So I always want people to feel like
that you could o me for me and not me
for someone else. That's like my biggest pet thieve. You know, Yeah,
I totally agreed. It's so true. Another person asked, um,
(09:23):
just changing the topic a little bit. This was just
I think this isn't really a question because I said
topics or questions, and I think this one just wanted
advice on the overall uh statement of boy problems and
toxic friendships. But I've also seen other questions about like
how do you find good friends and how do you
find genuine people and stuff like that, And I feel
(09:43):
like me and you talk about this all the time
off camera regardless. I was just about to say, we
talked about this could be easy for us. Yeah, you
want to start with boys or friends. I know, start
with boys and then end with friends friends. Okay, Um.
I think I don't really know obviously the specific of
(10:04):
this person's boy problem, but I would say rule of
thumb as i've gotten older, what I've just learned in
general is fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice,
shame on me. Um. And I think that's just such
a truth, Like I'm not literally counting like, oh, they
messed up once and now I'll forgive them. The second
(10:25):
time they messed up again, now I have to leave.
But it's more just like in the grand scheme of
a situation, if somebody does something that is deliberately and
just kind of intentionally harmful to you and then you
kind of let it go, or you make amends, and
and then it happens again, and then again and then again.
I don't think that's just like having a boy problem anymore.
I think that's just maybe not your person. And I
(10:47):
learned that the hard way in relationships growing up, like
it's just staying around and trying to make things work.
And because sometimes letting go can be so painful and
it really can feel like a death, especially with guys
like that you're into, because it's not it's never really
like just a friendship that you can just go back
to right exactly. So it can be so hard. But
(11:08):
I think my main advice would be like you will
be better for it, and if anything, you can take
away something and that you've learned from that experience and
that relationship and know what you want and set certain
boundaries in the future. I think setting boundaries for yourself
in any relationship, whether it be romantic or friendship, is
so important. And my whole thing is that I always
(11:30):
feel that I want to be on my own. I
want to be confident in who I am, and I
want to be doing fun. Like if I never find anybody,
if I never have any friends, like, I'm good on
my own, I know me, I love myself. If someone
else can come alongside and add to that, amazing. But
if you're not adding anything to my life, if you're
not encouraging me, if you're not not necessarily benefiting me
(11:50):
in like a material way, but just encouraging me, bringing
uplifting my spirits, like being a positive impact, then I
just don't need it. And that goes for any ship,
and that also goes for relationships with boys, and I
think the boys want I'm a little less cutthroat when
it comes to like relationship with boys rather than friendships.
(12:11):
If I have someone who is remotely toxic, I'm like,
you're out one strick, You're done for me, Like I
just don't have I don't have to tolerance of the patients.
But I think with boys, there's something about having feelings
for someone and um, you form this attachment that sometimes
even if like you know it's a little bit toxic,
you're like, oh, I don't want to let this go
because because you're also blinded. You you're blinded by like love,
(12:32):
Like that's a real and I know even just like
from first personal experience, like obviously you know, like recently,
just having to make hard choices because you know that
it's going to at the end of the day benefit you,
and it's it's what needs to happen. But it doesn't
mean that it's like hard and that you don't like
(12:54):
you don't struggle with it, you know what I mean.
But when you know it's good and you're making the
right decision to break off a relation ship with someone
because at the end of the day, it's just it's
not the right fit. It's so key to have friends
that are like pushing you and encouraging you to be
like no, like you you're doing the right thing. You know,
don't get discouraged about the temporary feelings of heart heartbrokenness
or is that work heartbreak? Yeah, heartbreak or whatever. And
(13:17):
that's the same thing with friendships. Yeah, I agree. I
think Also, my sister always says this, and she's like
preaches this, and she said it on the podcast before
two and kind of what you were saying. But it's
so true, Like you you do want to feel so
secure within yourself that if you didn't have somebody, you
would be okay. And especially if you do have somebody
that's healthy and it's just life, Like the one thing
we can count on is change. And so let's say
(13:39):
your relationship ends friendship specifically like a boyfriend maybe or
a girlfriend. You don't want to lose those other people
that you have in your life and give all this
energy and time to one person. So in case God
forbid it does end, then you're kind of left with nothing,
and you're starting below than what you were even at
your starting point, you know what I mean. Like, I
(14:00):
think it's so easy to get especially if it's like
your first love. At least for my experience, when I
was younger, like my first boyfriend, like all I wanted
to do was hang out with him and spent all
my time with this boy, and I like totally, I
just like kind of let go of my friendships. I
just didn't make as much of an effort. I didn't
incorporate them in my relationship, Like I was just kind
of like doing my own thing. And as I've gotten older,
(14:23):
I've realized it's so important to find that balance of like, yeah,
you can be with somebody, but don't leave the people
that care about you and that are there for you,
um like hanging. I also think that the right relationship,
uh boyfriend and girlfriend or even in friendships come at
the times when you're most secure in yourself. I feel
(14:43):
like even last year, I I was probably like the
lowest point mentally for myself. Last year, I just wasn't
happy with the person I was Like, I just wasn't
feeling happy at all, and and I was honestly chasing
like different friendship to relationships as validation. And coming into
(15:03):
this year, I have a whole different perspective, totally different
outlook where I'm like, honestly at the highest I've ever
been in terms of like my mental health and just
the way that I feel and view myself and like
telling myself daily affirmations and all that stuff. Where now
I feel like I'm also attracting those people who are
going to bring that to me, and I'm not chasing
something or chasing this validation from someone elsewhere, then I
(15:26):
am like losing all of the good people around me.
And I feel like it's always when you're not looking
for it that those positive people come into your life
because you really are attracting that energy, like I could
not agree more. If you're at a good place in
your life, the chances of more amazing people coming in
are a lot higher than if you're sitting at home
all sad and feeling like really down on yourself. You're
(15:49):
not going to attract positive people because people want to
be around people that are uplifting, you know what I mean.
And I think that's even just with friendships, like just
kind of seguing a little bit. I think it's so
important to make sure your relationships are ones that inspire
you and that you're learning from somebody or that you're
excited to be around them and you have just like
an uplifting feeling when you're around these people, because at
(16:10):
the end of the day, it's so important. When you
spend so much time with a person, they are going
to rub off on you. And in any toxic relationships
I've been in, it's it's interesting my family, people that
know me the best will be like you seem so
different in that in that situation verse how you are
now or in this and um, whether it's friendship, a boyfriend,
whatever it is, it's it's it's so true, like you
really do start to become the people you're around, so
(16:33):
make sure those people are positive and inspiring to um,
I fully agree. I think that's also the one thing
that my parents have done a super good job of
encouraging me about is whoever I like, I really do
believe that you become who you surround yourself with. And
my parents are really quick to be like, hey, I
see that you start to hang out with this person
and I don't know if you've noticed, but like you
(16:53):
started acting different or vice versa. So for me now,
in my friendships, I keep a super close circle of
people that I just trust and I know that are gonna,
you know, bring positivity into my life and love and
all of that stuff. But I'm a lot more conscious
of it now where I only really want to invest
in friendships and relationships that are going to better myself. Like,
(17:16):
if you're not pushing me in my friendship or in
my relationship with you, then like what is the point?
Like I want to I want to be challenged. I
want to be pushed that I can be a better
person so that you can be a better person. And overall,
I feel like when you when you can grow together,
that's just so key. Yeah. I could not agree more
so somebody asked kind of just about like dieting is
(17:38):
such a hard word. Yeah, you know who who did?
I just see an interview. I think it was Kanye Westies. Like,
I call it living instead of because dieting as the
word diet dieting. I don't like the word dieting. But
I obviously have a diet Like there, you know, everyone
has a diet of like what they're eating, but I'm
not necessarily dieting, right, So I guess we could start
(18:01):
people ask like what we were doing to stay in
shape or like a workout routine, and then like what
we typically eat. Yeah, well we've been working out consistently
for like two weeks together. I worked out this morning, Daniel,
I didn't. I'm going to work out later though. I
worked I got up at like seven because I here,
let me tell you guys, this is my diet. I
(18:22):
had a whole box of pizza to myself last night,
and so I woke up feeling really sick and I
just had to go run it off. Um do the routine. Yeah,
I basically for my little routine, I just go on
the treadmill. This treadmill has like a setting in it
which it changes the speed it inclines for you every minute,
so it's interval training. So I like jog and then
I'll sprint and then it'll walk and then it'll turn
(18:43):
the incline up and I'll be running again and then
I'll do that for like thirty minutes. That's my workout
routine and then like abs. Yeah, we do like a
ten minute our glass app work out on YouTube, or
we do um one time we tried doing it dance
like a dance class. We did a little zoom we
did to zoomba dance classes. That was so funny. It
(19:10):
was fun. We should do that again. I know, I
think honestly for working out, for me personally, it is
(19:32):
it's really hard because I think just growing up in
l A, I have such a negative perception of working
out and eating right because I associated with wanting to
look a certain way. And I think recently, as I've
gotten older, I found that when I focus my my
(19:52):
thoughts more on the fact that like I'm going to
feel good and I'm gonna feel healthy and I'm going
to have more energy and I'm not going to be
so groggy um by working out, I enjoy it so
much more. And the same with eating clean. It's like
if I'm just eating clean and trying to force myself
to have salads and stuff and never giving myself like
a little break or a cheap day or chea week
(20:12):
or whatever, it is like it's just never gonna work
for me. But if I'm thinking about it, if I
change my mindset and I'm like, I'm doing this because
I want to feel good. And there's also ways to
eat stuff that's healthy that doesn't feel like you're eating
plants out of the ground. Um, which I think is
so important too, is to just find stuff that you
genuinely enjoy doing. Like I found that I really do
like interval training on this treadmill, so I've been really
(20:35):
motivated to get up and do that, and then I
feel really good internally after, which keeps the motivation. I
couldn't agree more. I think growing up having a father
who was a professional athlete and having everyone in my
family on like the male side be an athlete, I
(20:56):
was taught at such a young age about healthy lifestyle
and healthy living, and I'm really blessed and privilege that
I was able to learn that information because now the
way that I view and always have like working out
eating healthy. It is such a gift and a privilege
that I'm able to do that and to be able
to move my body and like, uh, fuel it with
clean foods and stuff like that. But I feel like
(21:18):
a lot of the culture is almost sees healthy eating
and working out as almost like a punishment to look
good or to um achieve a specific appearance, and I
wish that I wish that society would kind of change
that perspective of it's not that you have to work
out and you have to eat healthy, it's that you're
(21:40):
able to and like you can and it's really good
for you, and it's something that you should like want
to do because it's not necessarily always about looks. It's
definitely not for me. I think for a while, maybe
it when I get really obsessive about it could be.
But now it's just like if I wake up, I
want to be able to move my body, work out
and feel it with good food. Know that it's just
(22:01):
affecting my not only physically the way that like my
health is, but my my mental health. I know every
single time that we go to the gym or you know,
we go work out or do something like I leave
in such a good mood because I'm like, I got
it done. I feel better, my endoor friends are out,
and I'm you know, releasing all that negative energy. And
I don't feel like a lot of people have that
(22:24):
mentality about it. I know, um, like one of my
best friends, she she always kind of talks about it
and like wishes that she had that shift in her
mind of seeing it differently, And UM, I don't know.
I just feel like that's a really important part to
living a healthy lifself to have the like mentality shift.
(22:44):
For sure, It's so important because also for me, like I, um,
I feel like this is just kind of common of
growing up in l A and then being on social
media at such a young age, because I I can't
even imagine being a kid right now, like I thought
we had. I remember when Instagram first became a thing,
(23:06):
I was what probably thirteen, I would think I was
in like six or seventh grade. I didn't even get yeah,
because I was like I didn't get instagrams. You knew
she was going to go downhill when people and this
was like the first week of Instagram being a thing.
And I swear like if you remember, you remember, but
when you hit like eleven likes and you would get
all jazzed up because it would be double digits instead
(23:26):
of having all the names on the screen. I'm like, now,
I look back at how excited I would get if
I had double digits on my likes, and I'm like, wow,
I was twelve years old already like seeking validation from
a double digit number, Like, of course this is all
going to go downhill. But I mean it's it happened
really quickly, and it's just so easy to compare yourself,
and especially when you see people living this healthy, perfect,
(23:49):
beautiful lifestyle on their social media of them working out
all the time and eating all these clean foods, and
it feels like, Okay, well, I don't have all white,
perfect apartment and I don't have this perfect grocery store
I can go do and get the cleanest produce, So
instead I'm going to do the exact opposite, when in reality,
you don't need all of that to just live a
healthy life. You will feel so much better. And it's
(24:11):
just like starting with the most basic things of like
take a walk in the morning and listen to a
thirty minute podcast about something inspiring, like you just have
to start, you know, that was one of that was
and we talked about this. This is one of my
New Year's resolutions. I I think when I think about
working out or being healthy, I'm like, oh, it has
(24:32):
to be all or nothing, Like I can't do something little.
Like if I'm going to work out, I have to
do a full workout for an hour and it has
to be hard training and all this stuff. And if
I'm going to eat clean, then I can't have pizza
for the whole week or I can't have whatever. And
my New Year's resolution is year was just every single day,
wake up and for twenty minutes to do something active.
It could literally be a walker on the block. It
could be taking a pilates class. It could be you know,
(24:54):
literally just doing anything, taking a bike ride, or if
I want to do a hard workout, do a hard workout.
Just starting somewhere and being able to like be active
in some way, shape and form. It's so good for
your physical body but also in your mind. Like I
just don't know what I would do without physical activity
because for me, it's it affects the way that my
(25:16):
day goes every day consistently. I don't know if you
feel the same way. I totally feel that way. And
also I think it's just so it's so easy to
look at like Toss or myself for somebody that is
on social media that puts out this like incredible lifestyle,
because I've talked about this before publicly, but I feel
(25:38):
like a hypocrite. And I also feel like I don't
think I'm lying by posting my best moments, but it's
like I definitely am not going to show when I'm
like crying or I feel really insecure. And I just
want people, especially young girls and guys that watch or
listen to this podcast, to know that, like it's super
normal to feel like you don't of your life together
(26:01):
and that um, it's like so easy to compare yourself
to other people on social media and online, and I
do it all the time. Like take it from me.
I could eat poorly for one day and wake up
with like the worst guilt ever and just want to
beat myself up for it. And it's just like I swear,
it's just because of the society we live in and
(26:21):
these pressures and standards we have that we like need
to live up to certain expectations. But I know what
it feels like to just be like, oh, I'm like
I'm nothing. I'm so like down on myself and I
can't even get it together. And you would never expect
that or see that on my social media. But if
you talk to me or no, mere you or anybody
(26:42):
really just human beings in general, like nobody has it
figured out, and nobody like is completely secure within themselves,
even the people that you think are the most beautiful secure,
honest whatever, it is, like, everybody's struggling inside. I can
guarantee that. Also, social media is such a high I
really you're literally posting the point one percent of your
(27:04):
you know, day, or your camera or whatever it is.
And of course we're going to post the best photos
that we have. We're not you know, if we're feeling
bloated or we're not feeling cute one day. It's like
the odds of us posting a photo from that day,
it's not very high. But I mean we're posting it
on the days that we're feeling the most confident or whatever.
So I try to remind myself of that all the
(27:24):
time because I see girls on social media who might
be skinnier than me or have a better body or
have clear skin than me or whatever my like insecurity
is for that day, and I'm immediately just I compare
myself so quick and that I have to realize, Okay,
this is literally a highlight reel. This is taken from
one moment of one day of how many years you know,
(27:46):
everyone goes through this type of stuff, and I really
admire and wanted you this more. Even just on my
own social media, like just I have a few of
friends who are super super transparent on their social I'll
whether be on their stories or their posts or just
showing those raw moments and it makes me feel more
comfortable to have them and not necessarily about anything specific.
(28:11):
But if I if, for example, like my my skin.
I've always had um like issues with my skin, and
I feel like every go on Instagram has like amazing
flawless skin, and you know, with makeup, maybe I can
achieve that. But like if I don't have makeup on,
like I you know, might have acne scars or whatever breakouts.
And when I see some of my favorite you know,
influencers or actors or whoever, post things on their social
(28:34):
media where I can see their raw skin and it's real,
it makes me more more comfortable and more confident to go, Okay,
this is actually normal, and you know, everything that I'm
seeing online isn't. I shouldn't take it for fakes value,
And so I feel like moving forward, more people need
to do that, and more people meet me included, Like
I need more raw and real because I know that
there's people who will look at you and look at
(28:55):
me and think, oh my gosh, their life is so perfect,
and the meanwhile, me and you talk about our insecurities
you know all the time. Yeah, it's so true. Um.
I think we can wrap up after this, but I
want them to know, like upcoming stuff that you're doing,
or anything fun that you've been up to that you
want to share with the audience that doesn't know you,
doesn't follow you yet. Um, you guys can check me
(29:18):
out on YouTube as a TikTok star. She's a TikToker.
Oh my god, I need to tell this story please
when we're just at the at the at Bryce Hall's
roast that Um when the bartender, can I please tell
that story? I was crying. I forgot about that. The
(29:39):
fact that the two of them happened back to back
and they're both like not what I like want to
be known for is it's very funny. Yeah exactly. So
we were at the Bryce Halls roast and we were
getting a drink at the bar before it started, like
mingling whatever, and this bartender was so sweet. He came
right over to us, got it, asked whatever we wanted,
(30:00):
and then he points in Atash and he's like, hey,
I know you, like, I'm such a fan. And then
you go really and he goes yeah from the voice,
and your face went from like oh he's a fair too.
From the voice just like it looked like somebody shot her,
Like she just like went completely blank. I was like,
oh oh. And then he was like yeah, Crimeer River
(30:23):
like and it's one of the songs Natasha performed. Wasn't
that like your battle song? Yeah? So they and I'm
I'm a little tipsy off my wine like thing and
this is the greatest thing ever. I pull up my
iTunes I show him that I have Crimeer River downloaded
from her battles. I'm like same, Oh my god, it
was my favorite performance. But it's just really funny because
that's not something that you ever talked about that you
(30:44):
were on the voice. I forgot you were on the voice.
It's something I'm like mortified about, So why like wrought
it up? Because it was I just that whole experience
for me was just so not I just I did
not like, do you feel like you weren't there musically
as to where you are now that you wish you
didn't like show show your talent at that early on
(31:05):
in your life, or do you just feel like, why
the hell did I go on the points? Both To
be honest with you, I didn't even want to go on.
I literally didn't want to go on the show at all.
The only reason that I went on was because there
was this thing my mom told me earlier in the year.
She was like, it's something there's an opportunity that comes
and it scares you. You You should say yes just because
it scares you. And this opportunity got brought to me
(31:26):
while I was still in high school, and I was like, well,
this is the perfect time and taken advice like this
scares the crap out of me, so let me do it.
But um I did it, and I had the worst
nerves of my life, Like I literally both both performances.
I sobbed my eyes out probably ten minutes before I
went on like it was just so out of my
(31:46):
comfort soon, not the music part, but just like to
be judged in that community, like it just it really
terrified me. And to know that like everyone was going
to watch this. So now I'm just mortified by it
because I I think I did a terrible job. Been like, no,
you didn't. People would like know or like think that
I could that that's like what I sound like compared
to now. Um so, but I mean, you know, it
(32:09):
was a good growing experience. But when people say like
that they've seen or they watched, and I'm like, I
feel bad for you. I'm so sorry, Like I thought
you did so well though, like obviously you're going to
be your own harsh's critic, but like from somebody that
doesn't sing, and obviously I know that you've grown as
a singer exponentially since you were in high school, but
it was still amazing, Like you didn't do a bad
(32:32):
job by any means, like you killed it. I could
never but yeah, that was very funny anyway. So I
literally was like my hard dropped. It was really funny.
And then a few days before she was out and
somebody said she was her favorite TikToker and Natasha just
like all she cares about is acting. This girl like
all she was she is so appreciative of like the
(32:52):
art of acting and theater and like doesn't care about
the fame aspect, like you just love the craft. And
so the fact that you got noticed for being a
TikToker and on the voice is just I remember I
remember I called my mom after um the TikTok or wanted.
She was just laughing, she was just dying, and she
thought it was the funniest thing. It was like that's
so cute and nice, and I was like, I know,
(33:13):
it was really sweet, Like it's a super sweet compliment.
It's just hysterical that Like it's also funny because now
there's so many there's just so many different platforms, YouTube
and TikTok and like actually being on screen, there's so
many like different places that every single time that someone
(33:34):
will come up, I'm like, I never know what it's from,
which which social media are we about to talk about?
Which one son both of them? So anyway, guys, have
you ever seen Natasha out, Make sure you go up
