We had the good fortune of connecting with Kirra Collins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kirra, what are you inspired by?
I am deeply inspired by my two young boys. They are my ‘why’ and the reason behind my relentless pursuit of success. Every day, their presence fuels my motivation and determination to achieve my goals. I strive to be a role model for them, showing them that they can achieve anything they set their minds to. I want them to look at me and see a successful mom who perseveres and gives her best in everything she does, inspiring them to pursue their dreams with the same passion and dedication.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As a professional model and entrepreneur, my art is a blend of creativity, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence. What sets me apart from others is my unique ability to merge the world of fashion modeling with entrepreneurial ventures. I am most proud of my ability to balance these two demanding careers while continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in both fields.

My journey to where I am today has been far from easy. It has required a lot of hard work, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to my goals. One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned along the way is the importance of perseverance and adaptability. The fashion and modeling industry is constantly evolving, and being able to adapt to new trends and changes is crucial. Additionally, as an entrepreneur, I’ve learned the importance of innovation and strategic thinking in building and sustaining a successful business.

My story is one of passion, hard work, and a deep desire to inspire others. Through my modeling and entrepreneurial endeavors, I strive to make a positive impact and encourage others to pursue their dreams with determination and confidence. My brand represents not only fashion and business but also embodies the values of resilience, creativity, and empowerment. I am committed to showing that with perseverance and innovation, anything is possible, and I hope to inspire others to believe in their potential and achieve greatness.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend were visiting for a week, I would plan an incredible itinerary to showcase the best of the area. We would start by picking them up from the airport and heading to a cozy local café for a light breakfast and coffee. After checking into a charming mountain lodge, we’d relax and enjoy the stunning views. The next day, we’d explore Rocky Mountain National Park, beginning with a scenic drive along Trail Ridge Road and stopping for hikes to breathtaking viewpoints like Bear Lake and Alberta Falls. In the evenings, we’d dine at local restaurants known for their hearty mountain cuisine.

Mid-week, we’d embark on a more adventurous hike up one of the 14ers, like Longs Peak or Mount Elbert, to truly immerse ourselves in the majesty of the mountains. We’d also spend a day at a nearby hot springs resort, soaking in the natural mineral waters and rejuvenating our spirits. To mix in some culture, we’d visit a nearby historic town, like Estes Park, to explore its unique shops, galleries, and local breweries.

For a bit of thrill, we’d go white-water rafting on the Colorado River or try zip-lining through the forest canopy. As the week winds down, we’d take a scenic drive to the top of Pikes Peak for panoramic views and perhaps a picnic. To cap off the trip, we’d have a farewell dinner at a mountaintop restaurant, enjoying the sunset and reminiscing about our adventures. Throughout the week, the focus would be on immersing ourselves in the incredible mountain experience, enjoying the natural beauty, and creating unforgettable memories.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My grandfather is definitely my role model. He was a small-town pharmacist who went above and beyond for his customers, family, and community. He consistently donated to causes around the community and gave selflessly to everyone around him. His dedication, love, and commitment to helping others have profoundly influenced my life. He consistently demonstrated the importance of hard work, compassion, and community service, always putting his community and family first. He instilled these values in me, shaping me into the compassionate person I am today. Because of him, I strive to be an amazing mother and entrepreneur, inspired by his legacy of kindness and excellence.
