She hopes that by sharing her authentic and unfiltered self with the world, others will feel comfortable doing the same. \r\rMyers was recently honored with Instagram’s first-ever Rings Award, recognizing a distinguished group of global creators for their original and bold creativity.

Myers lives in the Midwest with her husband, two sons, and her pillow pet named Wallace.",
