Indi Hartwell knows she has been slipping on her YouTube uploads, and she is not pretending otherwise.
During an interview with Dom D’Angelo, Hartwell was asked about her YouTube channel and whether she has had to push herself to keep making videos. Hartwell immediately joked that she was being called out, then admitted she has not uploaded much lately. Hartwell said losing motivation is a real thing, especially when she is trying to juggle wrestling, travel, content, and everything else that comes with life outside WWE.
“Look at you calling me out. Yeah. I mean like the past like two months I think I haven’t uploaded a video because I’ve been focusing on other things.”
“It is it’s a true thing in this business in any business really you lose motivation.”
She said she is still trying to figure out exactly what fans want to see from her. Hartwell likes doing gym videos, but she does not think that is what her audience is really after.
“I’m trying to figure out what do people want to see from me. People want to see a whole bunch of things. You know, I like doing gym videos, but I don’t think my audience really wants that.”
Hartwell said fans seem more interested in seeing her actual life, including wrestling travel, backstage moments, and her real thoughts after matches. She also explained that filming can sometimes pull her out of the moment, which makes the whole process harder to balance.
“They just want to see me living my everyday life. They want to see me traveling to wrestling shows. They want to see me backstage at a wrestling show. They want to see my my raw thoughts right after coming back from a wrestling match.”
“Sometimes having to like bring the camera out takes away from the moment.”
Hartwell said she started the channel after her WWE release because she wanted fans to see more of her real personality, not just the version they get on television. She added that fans usually only see the character or whatever is needed for the show, not the person behind it.
“I want them to see a a real side of me because when you’re wrestling on TV or on a wrestling TV show, you may get 5 minutes or 10 minutes.”
“They get to see the character that whatever needs to be done for that show, that’s what they see. They don’t get to see your real personality.”
Indi Hartwell is still trying to find the right balance between being present in her own life and giving fans the kind of behind-the-scenes content they want. She clearly sees YouTube as a way to connect, but staying consistent is easier said than done.
