Found Star Gabrielle Walsh Shares Swimsuit Photo From Positano

1. She Loves Dogs

Walsh loves spending time with her pup, which experts say is good for health and wellness, both physical and mental. “There are many psychological benefits to having a pooch around,” say the experts at Harvard Health. “Dog owners are less prone to bouts of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Simply petting your dog can make you feel less stressed. One of the greatest benefits of owning a dog is that it encourages you to practice mindfulness — being in the present moment and fully appreciating life. Mindfulness can help you relieve stress and also improves your overall health.”

2. Stronger By the Day

Walsh has transformed her body through weight training, and posts progress updates on her social media. “My fitness journey over these past few years has been enlightening. Discovering the power and ability in your body is transformative. 🦾🔥,” she captioned an Instagram post showing her lifting weights and showing off her strong biceps. Weight training not only gives muscle and definition, it’s beneficial for bone health, experts say.

3. Cactus Fan

Walsh is a plant lover, specifically beautiful cacti. “The cactus is believed to be a symbol of warmth, protection, endurance, and unconditional maternal love. The cactus has a protective exterior that can stand up to the test of time and the elements. Stay strong, endure and remember that the essence of both your truth and your beauty from within. Thank you @heyyolico for my beautiful earrings. 🌵 💖,” she captioned an Instagram selfie.

4. Birthday At the Beach

Walsh spent her birthday in beautiful Santa Barbara, California, enjoying the mentally calming benefits of the ocean. “Feeling so blessed and filled with joy to have another year of growth, passion, and love. To take advantage of discovering more and more about myself and the world around me. Grateful to you my friends and family . Thank you for being apart of my journey and sharing your love and birthday wishes! 💕💚💕” she captioned a birthday post.

5. Trust the Process

Walsh has a philosophical approach to life. “A friend recently told me, 'Life is binary.' The joy with the pain. The dark with the light. The sun with the rain,” she says. “There’s a sweet spot in the middle. A place of pure potentiality, where peace and balance is found. It is not a place void of emotion. Feelings are the truth within you. The correlation you have to the world around, as it relates to the world within you. Embrace the lover and the warrior spirit inside. Pursue peace and the liberty that exists in the acceptance that life is binary. It is full. Full of surprises. Full of love. Full of potential! Trust the process…”
