In today’s episode of Lo On The Go, Lo Bosworth takes a misty walk through Madison Square Park with the multi-talented Cyrus Veyssi. From TikTok stardom to using humor as a tool for empowerment, Cyrus shares their journey of owning their narrative, challenging the gender binary, and why laughter — especially about yourself — is one of the most powerful forms of healing.

Lo and Cyrus head to Alo studios for pilates, while they explore mental health, body acceptance, and rebuilding strength after setbacks. Cyrus opens up about balancing wellness with compassion, the importance of doing things at your own pace, and why embracing imperfection can actually unlock deeper confidence.

 

Key Takeaways:

1. Confidence is a practice, not a personality trait — it’s a muscle you have to work on daily.

2. Wellness isn’t linear — healing and strength-building take time and self-compassion.

3. Humor can be a powerful way to process trauma — but laughing at yourself is different than laughing at others.

4. Social media can democratize storytelling — anyone can own their narrative, no permission needed.

5. Health isn’t always visible — true health and healing happen internally and can’t always be ""seen"" externally.
