In an interview with DJ Smallz Eyes, Mena opened up about her wellness. She says that she was inspired by a movie she watched to stay in shape. "Being in the gym and getting so [much] more into my health and how to build muscle, all the logistics of taking care of my body started to come into play," she said. "And then What The Health hit, and people were talking about it and I popped it in and watched it. In LA it's easy to make that transition, doing the six months was easy."
Mena is an avid chef. She tells DJ Smallz Eyes that this helps her eat healthy, and helped her live a vegan lifestyle. "I love to cook, what made the transition fun for me was, 'now I'm going to learn how to make all these vegan dishes!' I made it fun! And I think that's why I was able to last that long."
Mena doesn't care what people think of her, which is why she can put herself out there. She tells Parle Mag, "People are judgmental. Then I realized that you can be America's sweetheart and they're still going to come for your neck. You can't win them all and you can't worry about losing them either. It's just about taking a chance and within taking that chance there's really no regrets. I'd rather have the regret of doing it, than having the regret of not doing it and wishing I did."
Mena has had a difficult past. She opened up about some of her struggles to Parle Mag. She says that she is starting to heal and grow from her trauma. "Now I appreciate them, because I'm going through the process of healing from them," she says. "You kind of have to use it as a learning experience. Yeah, you have to appreciate them. It happened to me for whatever reason, but for a reason. Like I said, it definitely set the tone for how I move out in the world because it is brutal out here."
It can be difficult to be a reality star, however, Mena has figured out how to handle it. She tells Parle Mag that she has learned to separate her show from her actual life. "The good thing is that I learned, very quickly, that you have to separate the two. It's very draining and if you let it, it will consume you. I'm a mother and at the same time I can deal with the craziness of being on a reality show and the drama.To be honest, at the end of the day, when I come home I have someone to answer to and lessons to teach so that he can one day avoid all my mistakes and become a better person. You have to separate the two because if not it will just consume your whole life and then there isn't much to live for because everyone else is living for you."
