About this episode

Natalie Imbruglia discusses her journey through fame, motherhood, and personal reinvention with Davina McCall.

What happens when the life you dreamed of turns out completely differently than you expected? In this episode of Begin Again, Natalie Imbruglia joins Davina for an honest and deeply personal conversation about fame, failure, motherhood, ADHD, perimenopause and finding fulfilment on your own terms. Natalie reflects on finding fame young, running out of money when that fame faded, and then experiencing extraordinary global success with Torn. She opens up about the pressure that followed, becoming scared to leave the house, being dropped by record labels, and eventually walking away from music because she thought she was no longer meant to sing. She also speaks candidly about spending years trying to create the relationship and family life she thought she was supposed to have, her journey to becoming a mother, and why she now feels nothing is missing. Natalie also shares how ADHD, neurodivergence and perimenopause have helped her understand herself in a completely new way. This is a conversation about success, identity, reinvention and letting go of the life you thought you should have in order to build one that actually feels right. 🌟 Like, comment and subscribe for more honest…
