Another reason she said she was into farming was that she was able to reconnect with nature and had missed eating fresh foods.
She said in the TikTok video:
"This is why I love being back home—like I love being back home, I want to eat fresh food, you know? And just connect with nature.
And yeah, some of you asked me if I still want to do nursing. Well, at this point I want to just concentrate on farming, okay? And I will put you guys on with what I decide to do with this, but this is very big land as you can see, acres, okay? I'm not here to play. This is like my retirement plan."
