Loves - this is our last episode of season 1! But before we head out for holiday break we're diving into some more wait, hold up moments. We're living for news of this upcoming royal wedding between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, we're livid over the news of the lack of justice shown toward Cyntoia Brown and are clamoring with others #FreeCyntoiaBrown, and we're loving the diversity in the 2018 Grammy nominations. Join in on the convo, leave us a comment on IG: @waitholduppod
Also, for all Natalia Jimenez fans, we're giving away concerts to her upcoming concert on Dec. 10 in LA. Go to our IG for details.
Thank you all so much for listening, subscribing, and sharing – it means so much to us. We'll be back in January! Happy Holidays!

This week our guest is none other than Spanish recording sensation, Natalia Jimenez. In addition to Natalia's incredible music, she was also a coach on Telemundo's 'La Voz Kids' where she won twice! In this interview Natalia keeps it real about embracing her differences in the music industry, the truth about motherhood (that no one ever talks about), and how she learned to perfect her craft. If you weren't a Natalia Jimenez fan before this interview, after hearing this, you'll want to be her best friend. Trust us!
