From TV Singing Competitions to Postpartum Anxiety, Barbie Bri Talks Sobriety & Finding Herself

Описание: Welcome back to another episode of Spin The Record - where we have conversations that hit the right note, so you can hear it, feel it and remember it.
If you love original artists with real-life stories, this episode is for you!
In this episode of Spin The Record , we sit down with Barbie Bri for one of the realest conversations we’ve had on the show. We talk about her early start in music, performing on Spanish TV competition shows and the behind-the-scenes reality of being young, talented, and judged publicly.

But the heart of this episode is deeper: Bri opens up about postpartum anxiety hitting years later , sobriety , mental health, motherhood pressures, and the moment she realized she needed help. This is an honest conversation about what people don’t always say out
loud—especially moms and artists.

Then Bri spins the record with two powerful live performances:
“Novacaine”
“You”

If you’ve ever battled anxiety, felt like you were “holding it together” while falling apart inside, or needed a reminder that asking for help is strength—this one is for you.
