Exactly 1 year ago Brendan and I booked a one-way ticket to New York City. We didn’t have a plan, we just knew that we wanted a change. I’ve dreamt of modeling in NYC since I was a little girl, but after the pageant I chose to put my dreams on hold, finish my last…

In this industry, you’re judged solely on your appearance and your measurements. It sounds superficial (it is superficial), but that’s the way it is. It’s very black and white, but I’m inspired by the gray. When I was 19, I walked into my first open call. I had zero experience, but looked at the modeling industry with…

In our society it’s so rare to find people who genuinely love themselves. It’s much more common to be insecure than confident, which blows my mind.

I feel like this last year absolutely flew by. Actually no, the last 3 years have flown by. It’s funny, cause growing up I figured that people in their 20’s had their lives completely together. Like suddenly you hit 21 and you’re this grown, sophisticated, mature adult sipping dirty martini’s on a Friday night. I…

I had the coolest experience today. I decided to go on a run on this trail outside of my Dad’s house (for those of you who know me, you know I hate running so this is big) I turned on my “WERK” spotify playlist and took off in my bright blue shoes. About 5 minutes…

On Monday I challenged you guys to switch up your mindset this upcoming week. I suggested creating a vision board, and I was surprised by how many of you didn’t know exactly what that is! Your vision is essentially the same thing as your goals. It’s where you see yourself in the future, whether that’s…
Continue Reading →It’s taken me so long to start my blog because I kept waiting for the right timing… until I felt like I was ready to be open and honest with myself as well as other people. Here’s a spark note version of my story… I became a “public figure” 3 years ago after my dramatic…
