CSM: The last couple of years were labeled as a rollercoaster ride with full of twists and probably surprises. How did you show your resiliency?

CSM: Define confidence and being sexy. Confidence is being sexy. Confidence is not caring what other people say. When you are confident, you are sexy.

Someone can be a good influence to others by wanting good for other people. If you are constantly doing something for selfish reasons, then you can end up not being a good influence on other people.

I write, read, do yoga, talk to a therapist, or go to the gym. Sometimes, even just moving like a walk with my dog can serve to help manage my stress.

CSM: Expound why mental health m atters in the digital age.

Mental health is huge in the digital age. You should not feel afraid to bring up mental health or spend time on bettering yourself in these areas.
