Natalia Bryant is taking life by the horns and savoring every moment of her journey. As the new ambassador for UGG’s inspiring “Feels Like UGG” campaign, she’s not just stepping into the shoes of an icon; she’s carving her path, one step at a time.
In an exclusive interview with ELLE.com, the 20-year-old shares her profound insights into appreciating growth, continuing her father’s legacy, and navigating challenging moments.
On partnering with UGG
“I’ve always loved UGG as a brand. I’m obsessed with their shoes, because they’re the perfect mix of comfort and style. You don’t need to sacrifice looking good to feel comfortable, because their designs are so cute.”
On continuing her father’s legacy of mamba mentality
“Mamba mentality is about constantly trying to be the best version of yourself. It’s putting your best foot forward at all times regardless of all the noise. I want to make sure that mentality stays intact, because it can be so easy to give up on yourself when things get tough. You have to remind yourself that with positivity and resilience you can do anything.”
On navigating challenging moments
“I bring myself out of tough times by focusing my energy on the things that bring me happiness. I spend time with the people I love, like my family. I hang out with my friends, or listen to my favorite music. I do things that bring me peace and that put me in a much better headspace. I think it’s important to focus on the positive aspects life has to offer.”
On self-care
“I practice self-care in lots of ways. I like to work out, read, and watch my favorite comfort movies. Really anything that lets me relax and wind down is self-care to me.”
On the importance of support systems
“My family is my rock. My mom and my sisters are amazing, and I can always lean on them for support. I also have amazing friends and mentors that I love who I know I can count on.”
