We welcome this two-time breast cancer survivor and author for her sensational MAXIM cover…

Hey Jocelyn, congrats on your MAXIM cover! Tell us a bit about your shoot. This shoot was in a loft space in Miami. It was a simple clean loft so the focus stays on the fashion and the poses. We shot an array of luxury lingerie that day, including some of my favourites - Honey Birdette and Agent Provocateur!

Are there any other funny anecdotes you can share about this shoot? I definitely got super nauseous at one point and the photographer gave me his granola bar. LOL.

Have you ever been to New Zealand? I have not yet but it’s definitely on my list!

Where would you like to visit? I’d love to drive 90-mile beach, see the glow worm caves and check out the Sky Tower! But I’m sure you could give me some recommendations also!

When do you feel sexy and why? I feel sexy almost all of the time, because I prioritise my self-care and I know that I have a lot to offer. In my opinion feeling sexy comes from confidence! When you take good care of your body and mind, you approach the world with an energy that attracts whatever you want.

What is your best asset? Physically and otherwise? I think my best asset is my personality because I’m a very warm and nurturing person. I’m also super silly and love to make people feel comfortable around me. Physically I think my eyes are what draws people in! I get a lot of compliments on their cat-like shape. But I also realise that I’m very lucky with my body’s proportions and don’t take that for granted!
