Sometimes life guides you on a path so that you can find yourself.
If you share everything with your kid, you're honest and you really work hard, everything will work out as it should.
Love is unconditional. Also, love for me is different because I find that - I'm a mom and so for me love for my daughter is gonna always be number one.
My mom struggled with her weight so much growing up. I watched her go from a size 2 to a size 22. I just kept seeing her try all these unhealthy ways to lose weight and struggle to be something she wasn't meant to be. I knew early on that I wasn't willing to compromise that way.
There are so many layers to what makes you feel empowered. Obviously, self-love. If you can't get into that, you can't get into moving to care about others and changing the world.
I used to audition for all those Disney Channel shows, and I was always told that I had the leading-lady personality but was too developed and too curvy.
I'm proud of my stretch marks. For so long in my life, I thought those were things I needed to hide or things that made me imperfect, and I came to realize that those are the qualities that made me unique.
It is about time we reprogram the way women think, and I think it is important to push that toward women who need to understand that beauty is not one-sided.
I feel the most confident when I'm by the ocean with the salt in my hair and zero makeup on.
Very early on I knew I wanted to be in entertainment.
I'm just a woman. I'm a curvy woman, and hopefully some day they do end up cutting out the word 'plus-size.'
Our face tells us a lot about the way we are eating. When people drink too much, they have breakouts that directly affect their face. Just listening to my skin and paying attention to it has taught me a lot.
I do travel quite and bit and so going to the gym can get tricky at times.
When I started modeling, there were very few places people could turn to for self-love and a positive community.
I'm not 6-feet tall and I'm not a size 2, so I never thought there would be an industry for me to fit into.
Representation is so important for all of us, especially millennials and the next generation.
I grew up in a generation where I really had no one to admire and say, 'Oh, that looks like me and she's successful and she's smart.'
I knew in my soul that girls like me needed to be represented.
It's a refreshing moment to find a pair of jeans that just fit my curves perfectly and keep their shape - I hate when they start getting baggy at the knees.
My daughter is with me 90 percent of the time and when I travel to Europe her dad is able to watch her.
