Hayley Davies has spoken about the physical impact of working at an extreme pace early in her career. After moving from New Zealand to the United States, she took on a very demanding workload as her popularity quickly increased.
Within six months, she recorded around 300 scenes. On many days, she worked on two scenes, and sometimes more. Even on days without filming, she spent long hours editing her own content, which meant she was still working and rarely resting.
Over time, the constant schedule began to affect her health. She explained that her body was in ongoing pain and that she relied on over-the-counter medication just to get through her workdays. Despite the discomfort, she kept pushing herself, telling herself she could manage it.
She said she rarely allowed herself more than a couple of days off at a time. Taking longer breaks felt difficult because of the pressure to stay active and visible while demand for her work was high.
Speaking on Holly Randall’s Unfiltered, Davies said her motivation came from seeing her career grow rapidly. She described herself as focused on numbers and progress and wanted to see how far she could go while the momentum lasted, even as the pace took a toll on her body.
