Manila, Philippines – March 10, 2021 – Flight attendant and entrepreneur, Pau Kimberly, struggled with insecurity for many years. Being in an industry with high beauty standards took a toll on her self-esteem, affecting even her career and relationships. She eventually reached a turning point, realizing that her mindset was not doing her any good. From that moment, she made an active choice to start finding happiness and contentment within herself.
Pau shares that her self-love journey was not an easy one. She says, “My journey to self-love and self-awareness was indeed a difficult and lonely path but it was definitely worth it. It has changed my life tremendously, opened new doors of opportunity, and just overall changed the way I live my life.”
In April of 2020, to beat boredom during the lockdown, Pau joined TikTok. Her first few posts were all for fun, but eventually she found herself replying to queries from aspiring flight attendants. From there, her following grew. Pau saw how broad her audience had become, and recognized that as an opportunity. “I thought to myself, why not use this platform to be a good influence and help change people’s perspective on life,” she shares.
“We as women should focus on building each other up rather than tearing each other down. Social media should be less about comparison and more about supporting and lifting each other up.”

Pau adds, “I want to inspire and encourage other people, women most especially, to focus on loving and discovering themselves, finding that peace and happiness within themselves, rather than comparing their lives to those influencers and celebrities they see on social media. I want to emphasize the importance of self-love and self-awareness, and how not caring about other people’s opinions and judgement could greatly impact and improve their way of living.”
