When she’s not busy being one of the biggest faces of the Middle East or blazing a trail in the fashion world, Karen Wazen, like many of us, is just trying to navigate life.
She’s a mother, a wife and a woman that falls into vices, as we all do from time to time. In an inspirational Instagram post, the star shares a huge secret she’s been keeping from her enormous fanbase.
“I quit smoking”, she captioned her post. “I know this might come off as a surprise to most, as it’s something I’ve never shared with you before (or more accurately hid from you). Unfortunately, for a rather long period in my life I was a smoker. I never shared this with you as it is definitely something I wasn’t proud of, and I take my responsibility on this platform very seriously and never wanted to promote a lifestyle that I wouldn’t wish upon my own children”.
It seems Karen Wazen’s influence knows no bounds. Her fans were quick to praise her for her candor, honoring her for using her platform for good. “I never thought of sharing this, but you know me, I love to share things that I feel one might benefit from, even if it doesn’t put me in the best light”, she said.
Her statement is a powerful reminder that bad habits can in fact be broken, and that we all should reclaim our mind’s power. “How did I quit? I just quit cold turkey”, she said. “The mind is so powerful when you reason with it and let it take control”.
The sign of a true social media queen. 👑
