Summary of the Video (Lifestyle / Health / Travel Highlights)

Lena reflects on roughly the last 10 months of her life—how she moved through an intense period, stepped back from public posting, and focused on understanding what was happening to her.

A “quiet Paris life” alongside major public moments

  • She describes her year as a mix of:
    • a “quiet Paris life”
    • and large public events (appearances, red carpets, hosting)

A year of events, gatherings, and turning points

  • Regular social rituals with friends, including:
    • Friday missions to watch “Danse avec les stars” together on TF1

    • Halloween
    • New Year

Major Public / Professional Highlights

    • Césars
    • Oscars
    • She also mentions the May Gala and filming traditions around large red-carpet moments.
  • What she values most isn’t only movies, but the encounters and human connections these events create.

Heartbreak and Choosing Privacy

  • After 7 years together, she discusses a breakup that became public-facing through media conversations.
  • She explains she stayed silent to:
    • protect parts of her relationship
    • avoid the cycle of the “court of public opinion”
  • She addresses internet rumors and says she’s reached her limit with public speculation.

Coping Strategy: Stepping Back from Social Media

  • During a period of adjustment, she spent a lot of time alone to feel what she needed without noise.
  • After that, she gave herself permission to live more freely:
    • leaving the house
    • going out and eating at restaurants
    • being with friends
    • taking vacations
  • She says she’s afraid to post again, imagining excerpts spreading and people reacting to them.

Health & Body Changes (After the Breakup)

  • She mentions significant weight loss and signs that her body was struggling, including:
    • loss of appetite
    • exhaustion
    • dry skin
    • hair breaking / hair loss
  • She states clearly:
    • No eating disorder
    • No pills or substances taken for weight loss
  • What helped:
    • returning to sports
    • maintaining a long-term self-care routine
    • vlogging as a therapeutic creative outlet to process emotions

Mindset / Lifestyle Advice

  • She argues against optimizing life for public approval (likes/platforms) and encourages:
    • Meet yourself and focus on what feels right
    • Listen to your body because it sends messages
    • Make peace with your priorities even if others criticize you
  • Practical exercise she suggests:
    • Write down small things that make you feel good every day

“What I Love” Routine (Self-Definition)

She shares things that make her feel good, such as:

  • Road trips (especially with music)
  • Being in the countryside
  • Being around animals
  • Cycling / bike rides and bike paths
  • Enjoying both:
    • having people at home
    • and solitude at home
  • Learning Arabic (she describes it as “superficial,” but enjoyable)
  • Dressing up again in her own style and feeling good in her outfits
  • Going to her favorite restaurant (including seeing a favorite waitress)
