Go behind the scenes with our October 2019 cover star LeaMichele!
"I wasn't always so great at asking for what I need—I was worried people would think I was demanding."
“When I moved to L.A. from New York, I quickly found out that when women are firm, they get called a bitch or diva,” she says. “So I retreated. As women, it’s unfortunate that we are labeled when we are direct. I always lead with kindness, but at the same time can be my own best advocate.”This focus on self-care is very much a sign of where Lea is in her life right now. The 33-year-old has been working since she was 8, when she was cast as Young Cosette in Les Misérables on Broadway.
For me, it’s about being aligned in mind, body, and spirit, and striving to find that ultimate connection between all of those factors.My wellness journey began when I was doing Glee. During season 2, I started realizing I can’t have eight coffees a day—it makes me feel jittery and not good. I can’t have craft services late at night. Yes, it might fill me up, but if I’m eating a certain type of food that’s not going to give me the fuel I need, it’s going to make me tired in an hour.
Growing up, I had terrible skin. I went on Accutane three times. I was put on every medication that you could imagine to help my skin. Luckily, birth control was a savior for me when I was in my teens. And then when I was in my late 20s, I realized I wanted to detox my body of all medications. That’s when everything happened—the return to bad skin and, this time, weight gain. I didn’t know what was going on. All people wanted to do was give me more medication.
