SHINE ON
Women's Health|April 2022
Social media star and actor Liza Koshy has an infectious energy that seems effortless, but in reality, she's taken the time to hone a mental health routine. Here, she gets specific about the habits that ease her social anxiety and bring about peace. (Spoiler:She *loves* running.)

SHINE ON

Within moments of sitting down, Liza Koshy charmed our server.

"Where are you from?” she asked. “Have you seen Succession?” The server squatted down next to our table and chatted for about 15 minutes, then, over the next few hours, checked in on us just a little more frequently than usual, asking if we wanted anything else and if our coffee was okay.

It's possible she was one of Liza's countless fans-one of the 7 million who followed her on Vine before the app closed in 2017, or one of the 17.5 million who subscribe to her YouTube channel, where she created three seasons of the scripted sitcom Liza on Demand. Maybe our server saw Liza during her Emmy-nominated stint as the host of Nickelodeon's Double Dare, or watched her Netflix dance comedy Work It. But there's also a chance she didn't recognize Liza behind her mask at all. Liza is just impossibly charming.

Bubbly and polite, self-effacing and then, unexpectedly, outrageously funny in a laugh from-your-belly, snort-coffee-out-your-nose kind of way. She greeted me at Laurel Hardware, an industrial-chic restaurant and bar in West Hollywood, with a hug and a reminder that we needed to take a photo for a mutual friend. She spoke to me-and to our server as if we were old friends she'd known forever.
