She added, 'I just wasn’t ready to expose my entire life, and even more so, my clients and business – which I’m very protective of – to the entire world ... I’ve grown personally and professionally a lot. At the end of the day, it’s an incredible opportunity and a rise-to-the-occasion kind of moment.'
