Emphasizing the confidence that comes with age, she recounted her mother’s transformation at 60, suggesting that wisdom and comfort in self-expression grow alongside age. Her journey illustrates a significant shift in mindset towards self-worth and authenticity.
I deserve to be where I am in life. Like, I've worked really hard to get here, and I know myself. If people don't like me... I'm kind of at the point in life where I'm like, 'Take it or leave it.'
She said her self-confidence could be a product of growing older, pointing to her mother’s words about feeling comfortable speaking her truth at 60.
