Slump Season
<p>What’s a baddie to do when she momentarily forgets who she is? Spiral a little, stay busy, and then talk about it on a podcast. This episode is a full life update—winter travel, balancing modeling/research/Lagree, and a slightly unhinged studio moment (yes, someone started a fire). Plus, one random highlight: I got to ride a Zamboni at a pro hockey game. But mostly, I open up about some confidence struggles I’ve been working through and how I’m pulling myself out of it. What do you do when you're in a slump season and need a refresh? I want to hear about it.</p>
