This is the kind of conversation I’ve been craving. The kind where nothing is scripted, where things get a little uncomfortable, a little messy, and a lot more honest than expected.

What happens when you’re labeled “difficult” for simply having boundaries and not accepting being disrespected?

In this episode of Mask Off, I sit down with my friend, former Victoria Secret Angel and current Hollywood star – Sara Sampaio – for a raw and unfiltered conversation about navigating the modeling and acting industry, setting boundaries, and the reality behind the image people think they see.

Sara Sampaio opens up about the pressure to please, the fear of being misunderstood, and how quickly standing up for yourself can turn into a reputation you never asked for. We talk about uncomfortable situations on set, power dynamics, and the moments where you’re forced to choose between your career and your integrity.

We also get into mental health, emotional growth, and what it feels like to finally start feeling everything after years of pushing it down. From meltdowns during the “best year” of your life to learning how to trust yourself again, this is a conversation that goes deeper than surface-level success.

This is a conversation about perception, pressure, and finding your voice in a world that constantly tries to define it for you.

It’s been a while…

I’m so excited to finally start this series where I sit down and talk to my friends and people who inspire me about anything and everything. Anyone who knows me knows I’m an introvert who hates small talk, but I love deep, meaningful conversations. And that’s exactly what this is.

What happens when you stop performing for the world and start facing yourself?

In the very first episode of my Mask Off series, I sit down with my husband Joel Kinnaman for a raw and honest conversation about identity, relationships, and the pressure of living up to expectations.

Joel opens up about growing up with insecurity, chasing a tough-guy image, and the inner work that helped him let go of it. From panic attacks on stage to becoming deeply committed to his craft, he shares what it really takes to build confidence and discipline from the inside out.

I reflect on how social media fuels comparison and self-doubt, and why stepping away, even temporarily, can completely shift your mental state.

We also talk about what it means to build a relationship as a true team, navigating ego, choosing the right priorities, and learning how to show up for each other authentically.

This is a conversation about dropping the mask and becoming who you truly are.
