Paige Spiranac gets "brutally honest" about her current mental health

Paige Spiranac's popularity in the sport of golf is unmatched. Once an active professional golfer, Spiranac is currently a social media influencer who makes content related to golf. On Instagram, the American boasts four million followers while she has a million followers on X (formerly Twitter).

Recently, she interacted with her followers on Instagram. The 31-year-old held a Q&A session on Instagram during which one user asked her how her mental health was going. Spiranac gave a "brutally honest" answer to the user.

Paige Spiranac said:

"Going to be brutally brutally honest... I have never felt more confident and secure and at peace with my life, both professionally and personally. The majority of my career, I was in limbo and not, honestly, in a very good place,” she said. “I was painfully, painfully insecure. I had no self-identity, and so my escape was creating content and then receiving validation, and it just made me feel good. But it was coming from a place that wasn't very healthy.”

She further added:

"Now that I am feeling more fulfilled and more secure in my own self, I have different motivations when it comes to creating content,” Spiranac said. “So I've had to navigate that, because I obviously want to create content that you love and that you like, but I also want to grow, and I still want to change and be creative. And so, I've just been trying to find what type of content do I actually want to create.”

I have made a ton of really big changes professionally and I had to step back and restructure. Really look at what I want this to be for me.
