00:00Haley, I had so much fun talking to you about self-love last time. I want to go a little deeper
00:07and talk about support. Let's lighten things up a little bit and do it over some expresso my team.
00:13Those are literally my favorite and I am so in.
00:21Haley, self-love is so important, but having a strong community is just as important too.
00:26How do you decide how you want to be supported?
00:30I've been working as much as I have. I've been really lucky to find people in this industry that
00:33I've been able to confide in and get advice from and it's been a really incredible experience having
00:38the support system here with people who do what I do and understand what I'm going through and
00:43understand. Is this vanilla? This is like a whole mixture of things. It's an espresso martini mix
00:50so no promises that this is going to be very good, but we're going for it. Smells good though.
00:56What are some things that you would say makes you feel the most supported?
01:01Just recently on set, I was filming a pretty emotional scene and one of the girls there just
01:09That's enough. I think that's enough. One of the girls there was so lovely and just created such a
01:20safe space for me and the room to feel everything I was feeling for the scenes and that was a great
01:26thing and a great support that I didn't know I needed on set specifically and then having
01:31people from like my mom just available anytime I need to call her, helping out with anything I
01:37need help with. My managers are like the greatest people ever and like they're there with any phone
01:43call that I have. Would you say part of having a support system is somewhat wanting to feel safe?
01:52A hundred percent. It's calling and having those people that you feel safe to be any version of you
01:57around no matter what you're going through and I've been really lucky to build that while I've been here.
02:03I think a part of being vulnerable is feeling safe and wanting to be safe.
02:08Yeah, I completely agree with you. I think it's harder to be vulnerable if you don't feel safe.
02:15Feel safe. Yeah, exactly.
02:16I think my support system has taught me what are the things that I need to feel that safety.
02:22What are some like adjectives that you would say you can describe that safety in?
02:28Comfort.
02:29Comfort.
02:31Warm.
02:32Warm.
02:33And reliability.
02:39Reliability.
02:46This is so good. I love a good espresso martini.
02:49This is really good actually.
02:50How did you learn how to even make espresso martinis?
02:53I was a bartender at a restaurant for a while.
02:55Yeah.
02:56Tell me a little more.
02:58Well, I worked there for over six years.
03:00Six years.
03:01They didn't let me do anything but hosting for a little bit.
03:04And then when I finally moved up to serve, we had to make our own drinks.
03:07And whenever we'd have big banquet parties or big parties in our banquet room, I'd be serving them and we're our own bartenders.
03:14So I'd be making like 40, 50 drinks and it was so much fun.
03:19What's your favorite drink?
03:20I love an espresso martini.
03:24Of course.
03:25Classy.
03:25I love a French 75.
03:27French 75.
03:29My love.
03:30Girl.
03:31It's my go-to drink every time.
03:33It's so good, right?
03:35Oh my gosh.
03:35It's refreshing.
03:36It's delicious.
03:38Anything with gin, whiskey sour.
03:40Yeah.
03:40I love a good wine too.
03:41Wine is amazing.
03:43Are you red or white?
03:44Red.
03:46I love how it makes me feel sexy.
03:49It really does.
03:49The hangovers are the worst though.
03:51I will say.
03:54How would you say you've made decisions to choose the right support system?
04:00I think it was kind of trial and error in the beginning because I think I always like to just
04:05jump in and trust people right away and sometimes it's not always for the best.
04:09Some people don't actually have your best interest at heart and as I've been working more, I've been
04:16really able to kind of tell right off the bat who's good, who I want around me and creating
04:24those boundaries is difficult with the people you don't necessarily trust.
04:30But at the end of the day, kind of like what we talked about,
04:34you have to be happy with your choices at the end of the day.
04:37And I want to go to bed knowing that I'm going to wake up and be able to talk to people that
04:41support me and want me around and actually are rooting for me.
04:45And it's such a competitive industry, but there's room for everybody.
04:50And I think when you find those people who agree that there's room for everybody at the top,
04:56it's so much easier when you take out any kind of jealousy or competition and you just have those
05:00people who want you to succeed as well and you want them to succeed. And it's hard to find those
05:07people, but when you find them, they're for life and it's really great.
05:11How would you describe your village?
05:13My village is growing every day and it's incredible. I have my support system in my
05:20village back home, like my mom, my best friends and my family. And here I've created a wonderful
05:28village of very supportive actors and people in this industry. But also something I have found
05:33is that my village expands all the way to the people who are fans of my work and people who are
05:38consistently showing up and watching these shows and supporting me in ways that they may not even
05:43realize is helping me feel so empowered in this industry. But their comments, their messages,
05:52their constant just, hey, I'm here. I'm ready for your next thing. Where is it?
05:56That is the coolest way to feel like I am just so secure in where I'm at right now.
06:01Yeah. Yeah. I think part of self-love is also choosing the right people to have around and to
06:06support you. It's beautiful to see that you have such a great village and that you also
06:12can attribute some of your growth to your fans. What would you say has been one of the biggest
06:15challenges this year? One of the biggest challenges I faced this year in the realm of
06:21personal growth is learning how to set those boundaries that I've always been afraid to be
06:25setting and saying no and believing in myself enough to know that my voice matters and deserves
06:32to be heard. And that was a big challenge, especially at the beginning of the year. But
06:36now I feel really comfortable being me and... How do you celebrate yourself?
06:44I celebrate myself by never... I used to talk down or minimize my accomplishments a lot.
06:51And I've had the experiences where I'll go home and I'll go to lunch and someone will come up to me
06:57and say, Oh, how's your little show going? Yeah. And yeah. And I used to think like, Oh yeah, no,
07:06like it's cool. It's, it's no big deal though. It's just whatever, but I'm going to keep doing it.
07:12But now I'm like, actually, it's a fantastic, fantastic part of my life and no one gets to minimize
07:19that. And so I've really started to celebrate my accomplishments big or small. And I've noticed
07:25that everything is big because everything takes you to another part of life you wouldn't have been
07:29to otherwise. And I always love to spend a little more money than I should and take myself shopping
07:37and take myself to nice dinners and... Yeah. Treat yourself. Treat myself.
07:42Love yourself. Romanticize yourself. I think it's beautiful.
07:46Aelia had so much fun talking about self-love, community, village with you. I'm wondering what's
07:53next for you. What's in store for this year? Well, this year has so many exciting things happening.
07:58I have some more real shorts I'm filming. I have a movie coming out, a horror movie that I'm really
08:05excited about. And I think it's going to come out really well. And I can't wait to watch that.
08:11I have a book that'll be getting published. And yeah, some more exciting acting things coming up.
08:20But really, this is going to be an incredible year that I can't, can't, can't wait for.
08:25Well, I enjoyed our conversation so much. So I'm pretty sure I'm going to love the book.
08:30Thank you. Thank you.
08:31Thanks so much for coming today. And I really enjoyed our conversation.
08:34Thank you. To growth.
08:41Before I let you go, there's a tradition we have here at Real Talk. I'd love for you to take a Polaroid.
