On receiving treatment by a holistic doctor that improved her worsening stomach symptoms: “Western medicine saves lives. But it wasn’t helping in my situation.”

On her yearlong health revamp: “The older you get, the harder it is to get in shape. I didn’t want to be climbing out of a hole.”

On the how her lockdown lifestyle was taking a toll on her physical and mental health: “I realized I had to do everything I could to feel good, or that depression thing was going to get the best of me.”

On how hitting the gym helps her feel good: “When I get those endorphins going, I’m like a whole different girl.”

On creating the type of music that “makes you want to dance until the sun comes up” for her upcoming EP: “I’ve been singing. It just came out of me! … I’ve been secretly working on an EP.”

On hoping people will be inspired by her journey: “I want people to know that it’s never too late for anything. You can get your health together and live out your wildest dreams.”
