This solo Q&A is a fun one—I’m answering your burning questions about everything from my recent nose job to confidence, stress, and personal growth. I’m sharing why I finally decided to get a revision, what the recovery was really like, and how being able to actually breathe has changed my energy levels.

I’m also getting real about why I think motivation is overrated, how I’ve learned to lean on discipline instead, and my personal approach to managing stress and “balance” (hint: I’m still figuring it out). Plus, I’m talking about confidence, visibility, soviet parents, and the biggest lessons I’d tell my younger self. Plus if you’ve ever struggled with personal style, I’ve got some thoughts on how to find what works for you without falling into every trend.
