IG: @INGAS_FIT_ZONEWhat message do you hope to send to other women through your annual birthday photoshoots, and how have these photoshoots empowered you?Through my annual birthday photoshoots, I want to inspire women to embrace their femininity and power at any age. These shoots are my way of celebrating life and womanhood, showing that there is no expiration date on feeling strong, beautiful, and confident. The process has empowered me to stand proudly in my own skin and to encourage other women to do the same%u2014no matter where they are in life.How has your perspective on aging evolved since starting your fitness journey and celebrating your milestones in such a public way?My perspective on aging has completely shifted. I used to think that certain aspects of womanhood%u2014like feeling sexy and confident%u2014were things you leave behind as you get older. But through my fitness journey and photoshoots, I%u2019ve learned that age is just a number. Every year, I feel stronger and more empowered. Aging is no longer something I fear; it%u2019s something I embrace as a reflection of all the growth and transformation I%u2019ve experienced.What advice would you give to women who feel like they%u2019ve lost touch with their vibrant, confident selves?My advice is simple: it%u2019s never too late to prioritize yourself. Start small%u2014whether it%u2019s dedicating time to exercise, focusing on your mental health, or simply making space for self-care. Confidence doesn%u2019t happen overnight, but each small step adds up. Reconnect with the things that make you feel alive, and don%u2019t be afraid to push past your comfort zone. You deserve to feel vibrant and powerful at every stage of life.What does it mean to you to be %u201cunapologetically yourself,%u201d and how has that shaped the way you approach life now?Being unapologetically myself means embracing who I am without fear of judgment. I%u2019ve learned to own my choices, whether it%u2019s pursuing fitness, embracing my femininity, or taking bold steps in life. I no longer feel the need to fit into anyone else%u2019s expectations. This mindset has given me the freedom to live authentically, and it%u2019s shaped everything from my work as a designer to how I interact with the world.How has driving your Porsche on the racetrack become a metaphor for staying sharp and maintaining a sense of adventure in your life?Driving my Porsche on the racetrack is about pushing my limits and staying sharp. It%u2019s a thrilling reminder that life is full of opportunities to challenge ourselves, no matter our age. Just like in racing, life requires focus, precision, and a willingness to take risks. It%u2019s a metaphor for maintaining a sense of adventure and embracing the exhilaration of living fully.In what ways has your journey inspired other women, and how do you feel about being a role model for those who want to redefine themselves?I%u2019ve been incredibly moved by the response from women who have reached out, telling me how my journey has inspired them to take charge of their own lives. Being a role model is a responsibility I take seriously, and it%u2019s an honor to show women that it%u2019s never too late to redefine themselves. Whether it%u2019s through fitness, fashion, or simply embracing their confidence, I hope to continue inspiring women to live boldly.was becoming, blending my passion for design with my journey of self-expression.Photography by GEORGE KONTAXIS74 MOST MAGAZINE - ISSUE 58
