Q: For those who don't know you, could you introduce yourself?
Haha this is funny. Um, I'm Isabelle Farro. A regular human being from Nashville, Tennessee.
Q: It is isn't it? Just a little. I'm interviewing different women from different parts of the world - what does being a Woman mean to you?
Being a woman is truly about being yourself! Not letting anyone try to change you into being someone you're not. A lot of girls struggle to be their own person but I believe to be a real woman, you accept yourself.
Q: I can definitely agree with you on that one - growing up as a woman, did you ever feel peer pressure to look or be a certain way?
Oh man, did I feel pressured to look a certain way. I grew up in the south in which the ideal look for a girl is blonde, big boobs, small waist etc. I have dark, almost black hair and brown eyes. I'm curvy and short. It doesn't mean I'm not beautiful but for a long time in my life it took me a while to accept myself. I was always trying to be tan or flaunt my cleavage (That I didn't even have at the time) just to fit in.
Q: Present day - What are the things you like to do for yourself or for others that make you feel "Beautiful"?
I like to take long showers and literally dump essential oils in the steam of the shower so I can feel refreshed. I do this often because every time I'm super clean and smell really good I feel beautiful. Weird, I know. I have this weird thing about smelling good.
As far as making others feel good, I really enjoy complimenting them on things that they normally wouldn't get complimented on. Like the way their hair falls when its up in a bun, or the way their shirt compliments their skin tone. It literally makes such a difference and people feel so loved and that makes me happy.
Q: I really like that! It makes a big difference complimenting people on things I suppose some people wouldn't expect to be complimented on. Getting a little more personal, you're moving to New Zealand soon, that's a huge step and far away from what you've always known as home isn't it? What are you most looking forward too?
Yes it's a huge step. Actually its almost exactly on the opposite side of the globe. Its going to be so surreal. I've been wanting to move there for so long, and when I went in June of 2017, it was almost like a confirmation that New Zealand was where I was supposed to be. I'm most looking forward to starting over essentially. I've got so many friends there already but no one truly knows me except a few people.
I'm stoked to be immersed into a different culture/way of life. New Zealand is awfully similar to America but also way different. I'm ready for my huge culture shock to set in haha.
Q: I've heard America is a lot like NZ in so many ways but then so totally different of course. I'm sure there will be a few things having to adjust to while you're here but I feel us Kiwi's are so chilled back you'll fit right in - before we end this little chat, thank you for taking the time to have a talk. What is one piece of advice you would/could give to women out there who are struggling to find their foothold in this world?
My one piece of advice would be that the struggle that you find yourself in, isn't going to last forever. The struggle we go through is to teach us who we are really meant to be.
