Author, reality TV competition queen, life coach, and speaker Parvati Shallow describes her work as āembodied, adventurous, and creative.ā
No kidding! In 2025, Shallowās memoir, Nice Girls Donāt Win, became a national bestseller, and she became a two-time Survivor winner after competing on Survivor: Australia V the World. āMy Survivor legacy is finally complete,ā she says.
The Traitors alum believes that ātaking on the label of queer has liberated me. It feels like wide-open space and permission to be true to myself, whatever that means. Donāt shrink for anyone. Be yourself. Be colorful, have fun, and let joy be your guide. We need more joyful, authentic people on this planet.ā
Shallow loves to conquer the impossible, but 2025 was about āletting go of something I loved very much that wasnāt working,ā she recalls. āIām great at pushing myself, but the hardest work for me is softening; allowing myself to express vulnerability and be seen in that state.ā @pshallow
