Kathryn Bernardo is showing us how to slay and thrive after going through major life changes.

They say the only thing constant in life is change, but that doesn’t mean it’s the easiest thing to navigate. We change all the time both in mundane and major ways. Yet, not knowing what is in store for us as life enters its next phase or chapter is scary. The fear of the unknown is real. But with change comes new opportunities to learn, grow, and, most importantly, thrive. Just look at Kathryn Bernardo.

2023 was arguably one of the most eventful years for the superstar, personally and professionally. But with a chapter closed on all that she has gone through, Kathryn is still standing tall as the queen that she is and living her best life, as she should. Scroll down for just some of the ways Kathryn has remained strong, self-assured, and successful in the latest chapter of her life.

ENDORSEMENTS LEFT AND RIGHT

Kathryn Bernardo has been booked and busy securing the bag since she was a teenager. But the brand deals and endorsements she has been picking up as of late have been making noise for all the right reasons. Her stunning photos for Bench along EDSA (you know the ones) had us stopping on the road, while she recently made history as the first Lancome Philippines ambassador. And this is just the tip of the deals, endorsements, and commercials she’s been getting, proving, now more than ever, that Kath still is at the top of her game.

HEADLINE-MAKING APPEARANCES

Kathryn Bernardo is one of those celebrities who can just show up to an event and land on headlines and trending lists in seconds. Case in point: her surprise appearance at the 2024 Bench Fashion Week where she walked the runway got everyone and their mothers talking. The body was giving, the face was right, and the walk was correct. Kath is the main star of a reason.

MAKING MEMORIES ABROAD

No new chapter in life is complete without a little wanderlust, something that Kathryn has been getting a lot of recently. Most notably, she traveled alone for the first time when she went to Australia to watch Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in the country with her close friends. Travel has always been a powerful way to reflect, re-energize, and re-align yourself after going through a draining experience, and it’s clear Kathryn has been getting her miles and making worthwhile memories to last.

MORE HIGH-PROFILE PROJECTS ON THE WAY

From the silver screen to the small screen, Kathryn’s dominance of Philippine entertainment is set to continue. Earlier this year, Kathryn renewed her contract with ABS-CBN, showing that she still has a lot more to give, which is a win for us. This 2024 alone, Kath looks to make bank and get people talking once more with her latest film, Elena 1944, in which she plays a Filipino comfort woman during the Japanese occupation in the Philippines. Also, as she teased, the actress is set to star in a sequel to one of her hit movies that may very well break the box office.

SPENDING TIME WITH THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER

Above all else, Kathryn’s new chapter in life has seen her focus on healing. From all that pain and hardship, she dedicated her energy and time to focus on herself and the people who matter to her the most. She actively protects her peace and surrounds herself with love, and it shows. This is what happens when you take control of your life, focus on only what matters, and block out the noise. It manifests both on the inside and out as you stay happy, healthy, and thriving. Give yourself the time, grace, and space to feel your feels. But as long as you pick yourself up, you’re on the right track.
