Writes on Instagram the fitness YouTuber now talks about “probably the most difficult time personally” of her life and shares a photo of herself in which she is completely bare and posing with a maze painted on her body. “What have we been through together? A labyrinth on my skin, symbolic of all the wrong ways and dead ends in life – on my long search for myself,” remembers Thiel.
She explains that during her social media break, she felt “lost”, “searching for answers to my undiagnosed eating disorder”. Thiel was not in harmony with her body, he felt like an “opponent”, like “my great saboteur of my ‘happiness'”. It was a long time before she found herself and her “personal center” again.
