Why did you choose to start Confused Girl?
I would say it chose me. Everything came into alignment and I followed my heart. I really wanted to create something that empowered women to be themselves. I truly believe my purpose is to inspire other women to follow their true nature and be true to themselves. I am also a popular travel influencer that has worked with the best brands in the world. I was one of the first female influencers to work with Audi in Germany. Traveling the world and living in different countries was something I always wanted to do and I documented this through my Instagram account. I am also finishing up my book, “Seven Things Every Confused Girl Should Do,” which I wrote while living in Bali.
How do you stay motivated?
Motivation comes and goes, but if you truly believe in what you are doing and you enjoy your day-to-day life, you don’t need to constantly motivate yourself. You just flow with the current of your life.
How have you grown over the past 5 years?
I have become way more flexible and I am no longer trying to make my life perfect. I realize that life will never be perfect but each day brings us a new gift and challenge to become wiser. It’s about learning how to surf the waves of life.
