Eva Lovia

Her legal name is Candice Horbacz, which she now uses openly, and that openness itself is the tell. She has talked publicly about leaving the industry not with the usual vague language about personal growth but with enough specificity to suggest the decision cost her something and that she made it anyway. What came after is harder to categorize than most post-career pivots: she moved into Web3, production, and entrepreneurship, but she also moved into running retreats built around psychedelics and what she describes as spiritual wellness. She hosts a podcast where she has been candid about the realities of the industry in ways that neither romanticize it nor treat it as something to be ashamed of. She is married and has two sons. She uses her real name, she talks openly, and she seems to be building something she actually wants — which makes her story more complicated and more interesting than the standard arc of rise, peak, and disappearance.
