"Since I last shared my experiences a few years ago, so much has changed. I’ve moved to a smaller town🏡that offers a more peaceful & organic way of living, & I made the brave decision to leave the entertainment industry to focus on my small business & my mental health🧠.
"My PCOS symptoms have significantly improved, while I’ve gained a bit of weight…😅now happily sitting at 60kg from a previous 52-54kg, I believe this is a healthy shift for my body. About 4 months ago, I had my breast implants removed, which has greatly alleviated my fatigue issues & my anxiety."
