anastasia vs stas - ep. 9

In this episode, Stas Karanikolaou takes us back to the beginning - opening up about her early life, Greek roots, and the experiences that shaped who she is today. From constantly moving and finding her footing to learning how to fully embrace who she is, Stas reflects on how individuality became her greatest strength.

She shares stories about early dating, navigating her family dynamic, and discovering social media as her path - leading to her first brand deal and eventually the vloggy vlogs she’s now known for. From Anastasia to Stas… and everything in between.
