Award-winning actress Natalie Bark joins Ego Was Here to share her unexpected journey from a corporate career to starring roles in The Crown, Loki, and Invasion. But it was her silent performance in the short film Exchange — which won her the Cannes Debut Award — that transformed everything.

We discuss:

• Transitioning into acting without formal training
• The challenge and power of performing with no dialogue
• What “Barbara” in Exchange truly represents
• Rejection, typecasting, and staying grounded in a chaotic industry
• Meditation, emotional honesty, and trusting your creative process

This is a candid conversation about growth, identity, and letting go of who you thought you had to be. If you're standing on the edge of transformation, this episode is for you.
