Last month, Natasha took to Instagram to share an emotional post, offering a glimpse into her personal struggle. She wrote,” I even look at this picture and think… woah, not a good look. I took this picture with the intent of sharing it, because surely other people also go through days of crying the entire day and can’t stop. [..] And this past two weeks I’ve been feeling like I felt on this day.
“I am now Miss SA for 8 months. And still have the days of feeling extremely overwhelmed. Recently I’ve been struggling feeling happy, full of purpose and like I have energy. I’ve realised how important balance is, the small things that’s actually the big things.
“Family, my dogs, friends, doing “nothing” and sometimes just being in my feels. At times you can’t do it all. You can’t always be a power woman, full of energy, feel motivated, feel your most beautiful and manage everyone’s expectations.”
