A browse through Solenn Heussaff’s Instagram conveys the many hats she wears: mother, wife, artist, actress, fitness fanatic, brand ambassador, and business owner. But that's just the tip of the iceberg of what she wants to become.

“I just want to keep growing and learning. I am excited to see what I am capable of doing, she shares.

In the middle of the pandemic we are all living through, Heussafffinds the drive to broaden her horizons by knowing that humans have the capabilities to adapt.

The 35-year-old has faced difficult circumstances in the past year. She went through postpartum depression after the birth of her and husband Nico Bolzico’s first child, Thylane Katana. Heussaff’s father, Louis Paul, was also infected with COVID-19 last July. (He has since gotten better.)

Despite these, Heussaffleans into the comforting prospects of the situation. “There have been many silver linings like being able to really spend time with family, being 101 percent hands on with my daughter, giving life a new perspective, and actually seeing what's important and what isn't,” she says.
