Summary

This week, Tay is back for another girl talk episode—this time with singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield! She opens up about growing up in a musical family, how she found her way into music, and the role her supportive parents played in helping her pursue her dreams. Natasha shares the excitement and challenges that came with sudden fame, and how she’s learned to stay grounded while on the road. We talk about the often-overlooked reality that fame and fortune don’t make you immune to mental health struggles, including her personal experience with prenatal depression and the tools that helped her through it. Natasha also reflects on how motherhood has reshaped her perspective, why she once felt like she “was too much of a parent” as a child, and how she’s now learning to embrace more play in her life. Plus, we dive into the legacy of her song Unwritten, its recent resurgence in 'Anyone But You', and what’s coming next for her!

0:00.0	The following podcast is a Dear Media production.
0:05.1	You've written multiple timeless songs, but Unwritten truly is just, like, it's stood the test of time.
0:11.1	And I don't know what magic sauce you put in there.
0:13.7	I feel like the song has grown up with us.
0:16.3	Like, it's relatable at any point.
0:18.3	That's how everyone sings it.
0:19.6	Like, everyone sings unwritten, like absolutely releasing their inhibitions, absolutely not caring how they sound.
0:24.6	And they're not, like, trying to be perfect.
0:26.3	Where the idea of the song came from, what you wrote it about.
0:29.3	The first intention was just to write a song that was speaking to a 14-year-old, who was my brother,
0:34.5	that was just kind of all the things I wish I'd heard at that age.

0:42.6	to be when you grow up? And I remember that feeling like this very crippling pressure.
0:47.2	And me being like, this is my story. I hold that pen. You know, I can write it how I want.
0:51.3	And I want this to be an adventure book. Like, I want this to have highs and lows.
0:55.6	And that gave me courage to step out and to quit university and to try things because it's like, well, if it doesn't work out, it's a good story.
1:02.5	You know, so you might as well try it, you know.
1:22.2	Yeah. Natasha, welcome to the squeeze.
1:23.2	Thank you.
1:24.4	It's so fun to be here.
1:31.0	This is so exciting, but just because I've literally listened to your music my entire life.
1:39.8	So it's been fun to have all of your songs like restock in my head the past couple weeks as I've been doing prep for this interview. But I'm excited to get to know about you and what makes you and some stuff that you've been through.
