What’s a skill you’ve always wanted to acquire?
I have two in mind: I’d love to learn to sing and surf. Both seem so freeing!
-
Which destination is on your travel bucket list?
I’ve been dreaming of a European adventure! My partner and I want to rent motorcycles and explore Spain, taking a month to soak it all in.
-
Who deserves a heartfelt thank you note from you?
I’ve already expressed my gratitude to my dad for his kidney donation and for my time on Dancing With the Stars. But I’d love to thank all my fans and supporters—your messages mean the world to me, even if I can’t respond to every one.
-
Imagine you’re 12 again. What would you be doing on a Friday night?
I’d probably be doing handstands! I loved those, and I’d likely be glued to a horror movie.
-
Who was the recipient of your very first mixtape, and what tracks did you include?
Honestly, I think my first mixtape was made for myself! It featured hits from Duran Duran, Guns N’ Roses, and U2.
-
What childhood story are you tired of hearing at family gatherings?
Hmm, that’s a tough one. Maybe it’s the assumption that I’ve always been an athlete. In reality, I was more of an artist, dabbling in painting and photography, and while I did snowboard, I didn’t see myself as an athlete until later.
-
What advice would you give your 25-year-old self?
I’d tell myself to break free from limitations and chase my dreams. At 25, I was already on that path, but I’d encourage myself to be bolder—anything is possible!
-
What’s your signature dish that you believe you make better than anyone else?
Definitely my coconut chocolate chip macaroons and strawberry cupcakes with fresh berries. They’re a hit at every gathering!
-
Do you have a personal motto, or a theme song that resonates with you?
My motto is “live inspired.” I believe inspiration is contagious, and I strive to live a life filled with art, music, and nature, showing others that they too can pursue their passions.
-
What movie or TV show lifts your spirits?
I find Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday incredibly uplifting. The guests she features always provide me with great inspiration.
