Lana has been featured in and on the cover of the February 2021 issue of Self Magazine! In it, she talks about her struggles with mental health and body dysmorphia, as well as saying goodbye to her TATB character Lara Jean. It’s such a lovely and very vulnerable piece, and I highly recommend reading it and watching the feature video.

In the gallery, I’ve added the photoshoot, magazine cover, and screen captures from the video. Enjoy!

“I was on the phone with my team and I had this moment where I just was in tears, telling them that I don’t feel okay. And they were all shocked because I wasn’t open about my feelings,” she said. “No one knew. When I had that conversation with them, it was like a new beginning. Now I know the power of sharing that.” In addition to her team, Lana has leaned on her parents. “My mom and my dad are so supportive and we’ve had conversations about ‘Lana, you need to stop. You’re clearly unhappy’…’Okay, let’s figure out the root of that.’ My parents have been a great sounding board.”

Condor knows some people might dismiss her mental health struggles, chalking them up to “Champagne problems” given all the comforts that come with her success. But opening up in this way has been monumental for her. 

“I’m talking about my mental health and my heart. And that’s something that I completely threw away for the sake of others. So once I shared it and was vulnerable with my team, it was a huge change,” Condor said. “They really have helped me navigate the industry now in a much more healthy way, where I feel like I can do what I love and also be the person that I want to be for myself.”
