1. She Swims

Trownson shares a lot of other posts on Instagram of herself in the water. She shared these photos of herself in a pool in Turkey, captioning it, “If angels don’t exist, how do u explain me.” Trownson also posted this photo of herself swimming in Vanuatu’s Crystal Blue Lagoon. She captioned the post, “Could stop posting bikini pics but I’m not a quitter.”

2. She Knew When To Walk Away

Trownson opened up about her decision to leave Too Hot To Handle in an interview with MailOnline. “I kind of had a moment of reflection,” she says. “And with Nathan falling apart I kind of realised that I learned a lot about myself and what I want, what I’m feeling with someone and my emotions and what I need. So, I felt like I learned a lot and my journey had ended, there was nothing else I was going to learn at that point.”

3. She’s Honest

Trownson is open about having plastic surgery done. She explained why she is so honest about this in particular in an interview with Daily Mail Australia. “I think it's really important that we're transparent about work we've had done, otherwise that helps portray unreal beauty standards especially for younger women. So I've always been upfront about it and I chose to have it, so I'm proud of it.”

4. She Wants To Be An Inspiration

Trownson balances both life as a reality star and a lawyer. In an interview with Daily Mail, Trownson opened up about wanting to break stereotypes people might have of her and other women like her. “That's part of the reason why I went on Too Hot to Handle, I want to show people, I can look the way I do and have a successful job. Long term, I want to be able to break the stereotype that I can be a lawyer and look this way.”

5. She Takes Pole Dance Lessons

Trownson revealed in this Instagram post that she is taking pole dance lessons. LifeHack.org reports that this has a lot of health benefits. “Most people in the modern world could stand to lose about 10 pounds of fat, so any form of exercise is welcome. However, pole dancing taxes the muscles in the entire body and you are always moving – making it a great isometric and cardiovascular exercise wrapped into one. You can burn as many calories in a 30-minute session as you would doing aerobics and calisthenics, and this will lead to significant weight loss over several months.”
