What's the perfect career? 00:00:31.309 --> 00:00:37.289 And secretly say, and wonder, am I enough? What 00:00:37.289 --> 00:00:40.549 is my unique contribution? How do I even begin 00:00:40.549 --> 00:00:42.710 to stand out and build something real in the 00:00:42.710 --> 00:00:47.329 world that feels not fake? Today, we're smashing 00:00:47.329 --> 00:00:50.649 those illusions.

So, you know, please tell us 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.599 a little bit about how you show up in the world? 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:01.519 How I show up in the world? I try to do my best 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:06.239 to inspire and motivate others. That's my mission 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:11.659 with my presence on social media. And to do that, 00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:17.039 I create with photographers all over the world, 00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:24.599 based in my posing. on my career as I had professional 00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.879 ballet training and I've been performing as a 00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.020 as you said as an acrobat with aerial silks and 00:02:31.020 --> 00:02:36.479 hoops so I gather all the knowledge I have and 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.460 now use them with photographers to create art. 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.800 Wow that's beautiful you literally showed up 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:46.960 in the world in a way few people will ever Beyond 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.500 the lights, the lenses and the stage, how do 00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:52.460 you define showing up in the world, especially 00:02:52.460 --> 00:02:54.520 if the world is constantly trying to put you 00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:00.879 in a box or tell you who to be? Personally, I 00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:03.479 don't really care what other people are thinking. 00:03:03.819 --> 00:03:08.419 This is how I show up. I show up as what I feel 00:03:08.419 --> 00:03:13.400 like sharing, what I feel like doing. And we 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:19.520 can't please everybody, so I do me. And if others 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.259 are inspired and want to follow and want to be 00:03:23.259 --> 00:03:26.419 inspired by it, it's great. If they don't, they 00:03:26.419 --> 00:03:29.620 don't. Still great, right? Still great. They're 00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:34.460 great. And that's how I live. That's right. Yeah, 00:03:34.460 --> 00:03:37.360 so not really caring about what anybody thinks. 00:03:38.180 --> 00:03:40.719 Your purpose is your purpose. It has nothing 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.139 to do with anybody else, which is a great way 00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:47.719 to be. I mean, I do care about feedbacks from 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.759 my fans and followers. I listen to feedbacks. 00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:55.819 It's really important to grow as a creative, 00:03:56.099 --> 00:04:01.210 but I would not... like a lot of content creators 00:04:01.210 --> 00:04:04.229 do at the moment, create to please the audience 00:04:04.229 --> 00:04:08.509 or post that because that's going to get engagement 00:04:08.509 --> 00:04:12.830 or that's going to get... I create what I feel 00:04:12.830 --> 00:04:19.569 creating. So how do you maintain that integrity 00:04:19.569 --> 00:04:24.410 when the external pressure is so immense? How 00:04:24.410 --> 00:04:29.959 do you do that? Well, I have clear values of 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.480 what I want to create. Especially when I reach 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.540 out to photographers, I have clear boundaries 00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:41.420 about what I do and what I don't do. The values 00:04:41.420 --> 00:04:45.920 and the goals I have for my photography. I only 00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:50.079 shoot with them if they align with those values. 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:54.350 Right, right. And you stick to them, right? I 00:04:54.350 --> 00:05:00.750 do. They are so clear that as soon as I see that 00:05:00.750 --> 00:05:02.730 a photographer tries to get out of them, I'm 00:05:02.730 --> 00:05:06.970 like, well, that's not a feat. Well, that's so 00:05:06.970 --> 00:05:08.629 powerful. It's about showing up for yourself. 00:05:08.689 --> 00:05:11.470 That's great. No performance, none of that stuff. 00:05:11.529 --> 00:05:15.050 So that's really great. You cultivated a six 00:05:15.050 --> 00:05:19.930 -figure creative career rooted in authenticity. 00:05:20.290 --> 00:05:25.600 How did it begin? Well, it began first with, 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.040 like I said, when I was little with ballet and 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:31.540 then with acrobatics, traveling the world and 00:05:31.540 --> 00:05:35.060 performing as an aerial acrobat. And at the moment, 00:05:35.060 --> 00:05:40.420 I am a full -time art model. So it started, the 00:05:40.420 --> 00:05:43.600 modeling started a bit like was not planned. 00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:48.540 I had a photographer reaching out to me on my 00:05:48.540 --> 00:05:52.420 yoga Instagram. He's been looking a long time 00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:56.100 for a ballet dancer that could also do Ariel 00:05:56.100 --> 00:06:00.379 Hoop. And he found me and was thrilled to shoot 00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:03.819 with me. And I was like, OK, why not? So I gave 00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:07.680 it a try. And then it did the snowball effect 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.360 when he started publishing the photos. A lot 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.079 of photographers reached out to me. And that's 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.850 how it started. Right. OK. So you can encourage 00:06:17.850 --> 00:06:20.370 some young people to kind of stay, you know, 00:06:20.550 --> 00:06:22.970 do what they love to do. Because I'm imagining 00:06:22.970 --> 00:06:26.069 that you love what you do. Oh, yeah, I love what 00:06:26.069 --> 00:06:29.550 I do. Yeah, yeah. But it was, like I said, not 00:06:29.550 --> 00:06:34.550 something I planned. So I said, be open to opportunities 00:06:34.550 --> 00:06:39.089 and reach out, if people reach out, you know, 00:06:39.389 --> 00:06:44.449 just, yeah. That's cool. You've traveled 87 countries 00:06:44.449 --> 00:06:48.569 and you have a global following of 100 ,000 or 00:06:48.569 --> 00:06:54.449 more. And yet you still create such great things 00:06:54.449 --> 00:06:59.850 and you have to be deep in yourself in order 00:06:59.850 --> 00:07:05.110 to do this. At points, do you get lonely? No. 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:12.759 I actually enjoy being sometimes on my own because 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:16.060 I mean all day when I travel I am actually like 00:07:16.060 --> 00:07:20.199 not socializing but I am with people so I am 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:24.959 talking with photographers all day so when I 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.100 get my time alone let's say in my hotel room 00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:31.000 after everything I am actually really enjoying 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:37.879 it I love my My alone time. Yes. Oh, my goodness. 00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.279 I didn't realize that you're always talking. 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:42.879 I didn't think about that. But yeah, I get like 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.399 that, too. But yeah, you're right. You're always 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.959 with somebody with that many places that you've 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.759 gone and probably still going, you know. What 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.620 is the difference in this world of likes and 00:07:53.620 --> 00:07:57.019 follows and your constant, you know, performance? 00:07:57.339 --> 00:08:02.319 How do you cultivate real connections? Well, 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.930 I. I'm actually really engaged with my followers. 00:08:06.069 --> 00:08:08.389 Like for me, they are not just followers. They 00:08:08.389 --> 00:08:13.250 are actually people. So when people write me, 00:08:13.290 --> 00:08:16.149 I write back. So I do build connections with 00:08:16.149 --> 00:08:21.009 the people that want to engage with me. And yeah, 00:08:21.089 --> 00:08:24.629 I actually have a big support system from my 00:08:24.629 --> 00:08:28.829 family, from my friends. So all that is really 00:08:28.829 --> 00:08:32.360 important too. Right. So you're intentional about 00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.299 those relationships, kind of keeping those together. 00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.860 It's really important. Yeah. Very important. 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.679 Is there any time that you're not validated at 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.100 all? You know, being that you're so busy and 00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:47.559 maybe you need to say something. Is there any 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:49.879 time that you're not validated or not heard? 00:08:51.779 --> 00:08:55.700 I don't think so. I always have somebody to listen 00:08:55.700 --> 00:08:59.429 to me when I need it. Okay. All right. You surround 00:08:59.429 --> 00:09:02.649 yourself with people that, you know, that can 00:09:02.649 --> 00:09:05.250 support you, you know, especially, and I know 00:09:05.250 --> 00:09:07.470 every, every day is not a good day, but when 00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:09.429 you have those bad days, you have somebody there 00:09:09.429 --> 00:09:15.169 that can support you. I do. I do. That's great. 00:09:15.590 --> 00:09:19.629 Can you share one? I know you've had some monumental 00:09:19.629 --> 00:09:23.029 times. Can you share just maybe one, you know, 00:09:23.309 --> 00:09:25.129 extraordinary time that you did something for 00:09:25.129 --> 00:09:33.330 the first time? For the first time. Wow. Well, 00:09:33.330 --> 00:09:36.629 performing in front of 20 ,000 people was like 00:09:36.629 --> 00:09:41.230 one of my big things. And it was the first time, 00:09:41.269 --> 00:09:46.970 it was quite an event, quite an unforgettable 00:09:46.970 --> 00:09:51.070 moment. You got that right. Well, yeah, you can't 00:09:51.070 --> 00:09:55.070 forget that 20 ,000 people. Were you nervous? 00:09:55.409 --> 00:09:59.519 How were you feeling? extremely nervous yes but 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:04.379 also I had to be very focused because I was performing 00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:11.559 on silks at 90 feet up in the air on flying winches 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:16.299 and so yeah and it was an outdoor show so it 00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:20.379 was rain or shine it was wind there was all kind 00:10:20.379 --> 00:10:25.250 of things that could go wrong Yeah, but every 00:10:25.250 --> 00:10:27.730 day we celebrated after the show that we made 00:10:27.730 --> 00:10:31.750 it and we were alive because it was quite a dangerous 00:10:31.750 --> 00:10:35.370 show. That is so good. I know you built your 00:10:35.370 --> 00:10:40.029 career on precision, grace, and a lot of physical 00:10:40.029 --> 00:10:43.049 and emotional sacrifice, it sounds like. There 00:10:43.049 --> 00:10:47.649 must have been moments of intense pressure, maybe 00:10:47.649 --> 00:10:51.429 even pain sometimes. How do you... get through 00:10:51.429 --> 00:10:53.730 those times that maybe you feel like there's 00:10:53.730 --> 00:10:56.509 a failure or you're in pain or something. How 00:10:56.509 --> 00:10:59.830 do you get through those? Yeah, I think the hardest 00:10:59.830 --> 00:11:03.289 time were actually as a kid at the Paris Opera 00:11:03.289 --> 00:11:07.750 Ballet School. It was very, very difficult mentally 00:11:07.750 --> 00:11:11.169 because they basically tried to break you down 00:11:11.169 --> 00:11:14.830 because their competition is so high. There are 00:11:14.830 --> 00:11:17.730 so many girls and every year they need to cut 00:11:17.730 --> 00:11:21.889 down and So there's a lot of mental pressure 00:11:21.889 --> 00:11:24.490 and actually there is also a lot of physical 00:11:24.490 --> 00:11:27.090 pressure because you train a lot and you're a 00:11:27.090 --> 00:11:30.789 kid and you are growing and the teachers are 00:11:30.789 --> 00:11:36.669 not taking it easy on us. So yeah, in those moments 00:11:36.669 --> 00:11:40.730 you just have to remember the why, what's the 00:11:40.730 --> 00:11:44.809 goal. And my dream when I was a kid was to become 00:11:44.809 --> 00:11:48.970 a professional ballet dancer. When you really 00:11:48.970 --> 00:11:52.110 want it, you just squeeze the teeth and go through 00:11:52.110 --> 00:12:00.070 the pain and the sacrifice. What did those times, 00:12:00.750 --> 00:12:03.870 those unseen struggles that maybe we don't even 00:12:03.870 --> 00:12:08.490 know about, what did they help you do by evolving 00:12:08.490 --> 00:12:13.190 to yourself? How did they help that? Well, they 00:12:13.190 --> 00:12:16.769 helped a lot because I mean after after a training 00:12:16.769 --> 00:12:20.970 like that when you're a kid It's hard to break 00:12:20.970 --> 00:12:26.950 me like I've been through I'm like go ahead like 00:12:26.950 --> 00:12:29.470 you can tell me what you want. I've heard it 00:12:29.470 --> 00:12:35.289 all I've been told I was fat and bad and I will 00:12:35.289 --> 00:12:40.009 never make it since I was a kid. So Yeah, yeah 00:12:40.110 --> 00:12:48.590 It tough you up. Yeah, that's great. I know it's 00:12:48.590 --> 00:12:50.570 not a straight line, right? It's not a straight 00:12:50.570 --> 00:12:54.830 line always. You know, we see the bronze statues 00:12:54.830 --> 00:12:57.769 and the magazine covers of you with your success. 00:12:58.230 --> 00:13:00.490 But one thing they don't say is what you went 00:13:00.490 --> 00:13:03.049 through. And I know as a girl, I would see things 00:13:03.049 --> 00:13:04.509 in the newspaper. I was like, oh, I want to do 00:13:04.509 --> 00:13:09.399 that. I didn't know the... The backstory, like 00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.840 you said, you had to sacrifice a lot. And I think 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.799 that's important to share with the audience. 00:13:16.299 --> 00:13:18.860 There's a sacrifice that goes with it. You just 00:13:18.860 --> 00:13:23.759 don't pop up and you become that person you want, 00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.620 that professional like you are. You don't just 00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:29.000 don't pop up. There's work that you have to do. 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:33.600 Can you share what that takes from your perspective? 00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:37.279 I mean, it's still daily work, meaning keeping 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.139 the body in shape, keeping the mind in shape, 00:13:41.179 --> 00:13:44.860 like you said, with all the travels, all the 00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:47.220 back work, because everybody sees the beautiful 00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:50.600 photos, see the Instagram stories with travels, 00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:53.100 and it looks like this glamorous and cool life. 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.980 But behind it, there is a lot of admin work, 00:13:57.059 --> 00:14:01.779 a lot of... Wow. There is a lot of admin, yeah, 00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:07.149 like in a way, like... planning a lot of paperwork. 00:14:08.100 --> 00:14:12.379 accounting, all this not sexy stuff, which nobody 00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:16.720 thinks of, but I'm a one -person business, so 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.779 I do it all. Oh my goodness, I was going to ask 00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:22.379 you that, did you do everything? It's all on 00:14:22.379 --> 00:14:25.820 me, so I book all my flights, I book all my hotels, 00:14:26.100 --> 00:14:29.419 I do all the contracts, I do all the negotiations, 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:33.340 I do all the social media, the marketing, the 00:14:33.340 --> 00:14:36.919 customer service, you call it. Oh my goodness. 00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:42.100 And so, yeah, it's all on me. So it's a lot when 00:14:42.100 --> 00:14:45.639 you see just a beautiful photo and you're hard 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.179 to understand everything that goes behind. Yeah, 00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:51.220 it really is. It really is. I mean, because I, 00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:53.299 you know, I remember as a kid saying that and 00:14:53.299 --> 00:14:56.740 then I was like, when I did go towards doing 00:14:56.740 --> 00:15:00.740 it, I was like, this is a lot of work. This is 00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:05.570 a lot of work. It is. So you've been immortalized 00:15:05.570 --> 00:15:09.269 in bronze sculptures, your published muse, your 00:15:09.269 --> 00:15:13.049 work bridges the art and photography, you inspire 00:15:13.049 --> 00:15:18.330 others to create, but ultimately you are an ongoing 00:15:18.330 --> 00:15:21.950 work of art. So for someone listening right now 00:15:21.950 --> 00:15:25.250 who feels stuck, who feels like a blank canvas 00:15:25.250 --> 00:15:28.389 and doesn't know where to start, creating their 00:15:28.389 --> 00:15:32.350 own purposeful life. What is the very first most 00:15:32.350 --> 00:15:35.549 authentic movement or stroke they need to do 00:15:35.549 --> 00:15:42.429 to become their own life masterpiece? I would 00:15:42.429 --> 00:15:47.549 say come back to the things you enjoy. Passions. 00:15:48.470 --> 00:15:51.669 Going back to your passions and see how you can 00:15:51.669 --> 00:15:57.460 link your passions to your daily life. If there 00:15:57.460 --> 00:16:01.340 is an opportunity that you could link your passions 00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:08.340 to your work, then yeah, then it's the mastery 00:16:08.340 --> 00:16:11.679 when you can try to have your passion and your 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:17.860 work be one. But don't forget about your passions. 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.980 We can forget about them in the daily life with 00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:26.899 work 9 to 5. you know, kids, whatever people 00:16:26.899 --> 00:16:32.059 have, which take them away from what they truly 00:16:32.059 --> 00:16:35.340 enjoy doing, like their passion. You put that 00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:40.299 aside when you have other problems and other... 00:16:40.299 --> 00:16:43.379 But I think going back to really, really think 00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:46.940 what do I like to do? What are my passions? What 00:16:46.940 --> 00:16:51.519 makes me happy? What are the little things that... 00:16:51.629 --> 00:16:56.169 brings me joy and trying to re -implement them 00:16:56.169 --> 00:17:02.250 in a way in the life. Yeah, that's good. And 00:17:02.250 --> 00:17:06.190 I know that my audience is always looking for 00:17:06.190 --> 00:17:10.869 ways to improve on things. And I wanted to incorporate 00:17:10.869 --> 00:17:17.130 here, because you keep your body in tune. And 00:17:17.130 --> 00:17:20.660 could you share a little bit of like that also 00:17:20.660 --> 00:17:25.779 is part of being your best self. Exactly. Movement 00:17:25.779 --> 00:17:34.920 is primordial to mental health and physical health. 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:41.660 So keep moving, don't sit down, try to implement 00:17:41.660 --> 00:17:44.420 a bit of movement per day, go for a walk, do 00:17:44.420 --> 00:17:48.529 a little stretch. And then try to come back to 00:17:48.529 --> 00:17:52.769 your breath sometimes, because this is why we 00:17:52.769 --> 00:17:56.670 are alive. Absolutely. We are too short on breath, 00:17:57.009 --> 00:18:01.009 just taking a couple deep breaths can change 00:18:01.009 --> 00:18:05.430 the whole body tensions and aches and pains. 00:18:06.089 --> 00:18:12.430 Yes, exactly. And one last thing is, you've been 00:18:12.430 --> 00:18:15.960 in a limelight. Was there ever a time that you 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.740 didn't want to be in the limelight? What do you 00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:21.960 mean by the limelight? Like, you know, being, 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.619 you know, featured. Spotlight. Yeah, uh -huh. 00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:29.319 Spotlight. Yeah, in the spotlight, yeah. So far, 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.480 I'm happy like this. Maybe it's going... It may 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:40.119 change. But so far, I'm good the way it is, as 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:44.400 long as it's not pressuring me. Right. And I 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:47.700 do it the way I do it. Right. It's good. You 00:18:47.700 --> 00:18:50.579 have command over it. And that's wonderful. Yeah. 00:18:50.859 --> 00:18:53.900 You're creating your reality. That's really beautiful. 00:18:53.980 --> 00:18:57.380 I'm not told by some agent or I'm not told what 00:18:57.380 --> 00:19:01.700 I have to say or what I have to create. So yeah, 00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:04.180 you're creating your own reality. That's beautiful. 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:07.539 So you're not going to have that bad moment or 00:19:07.539 --> 00:19:09.859 a bad, bad instance, but you know, that's really 00:19:09.859 --> 00:19:13.380 great. That's really, really great. So if there's 00:19:13.380 --> 00:19:16.059 one last thing that you have in your heart that 00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:19.299 you could tell my audience, no matter what they're 00:19:19.299 --> 00:19:21.759 going through, no matter what they're experiencing, 00:19:22.299 --> 00:19:26.059 share that with them today and then share how 00:19:26.059 --> 00:19:28.759 we can follow you. I know I have all of your 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:31.799 information, which we provided in the content, 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.319 but just share what's your next adventure. My 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:42.789 next adventure? Now I'm a bit transitioning from 00:19:42.789 --> 00:19:44.869 modeling. I'm still modeling, but I'm slowing 00:19:44.869 --> 00:19:49.130 down. And I'm starting to pass on my knowledge 00:19:49.130 --> 00:19:57.930 now to aspiring models to do what I've done. 00:19:58.210 --> 00:20:02.559 So I help them with... with the business side, 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:05.079 because this is something nobody speaks about 00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:08.539 that I found when I started. You see the models, 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:10.839 you see the Instagrams, you see this, but you're 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.240 like, how do you do this? How do you handle the 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.220 whole thing? So now I'm there to support aspiring 00:20:18.220 --> 00:20:22.119 models with that side of the modeling. That's 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:25.180 right. Oh, that's beautiful. That is going to 00:20:25.180 --> 00:20:29.579 be powerful all in itself.
