The boys are doing club appearances, but that’s not for me. Married At First Sight’s Stella has announced the surprising career change she is now working towards making a reality.

In an Instagram Live on Monday, the TV bride explained that although she wants to continue working as a beauty technician, she is passionate about setting up some kind of venture where she can use her public profile to empower young people.

“What strikes a chord with me is something to do with schools,” Stella said. “You know how the boys are doing night club appearances? That’s good for them, but not for me. I feel I’d like to potentially do school appearances, and do pep talks for you girls and also young boys, actually. At the end of the day, we all have the same heart and the same brain. I do connect with young people really well.”

A Shift in Focus

While many reality TV stars capitalize on their newfound fame by launching clothing lines, promoting detox teas, or making paid appearances at nightclubs, Stella is charting a different course.

She wants to use her platform to inspire. To motivate. To speak to young people who might be struggling with the same issues she once faced.

The 32-year-old beauty technician, who found love with groom Filip Gregov during the experiment, has always been open about her journey. She moved to Australia from Lithuania nine years ago, with no family to lean on, and built a life for herself from scratch.

That story — of resilience, of hard work, of believing in yourself — is exactly what she wants to share with young audiences.

A History of Empowerment

A quick scroll down Stella’s pre-Married At First Sight social media shows she has always been passionate about empowerment.

In one post, she wrote: “It all works out. Not because life is perfect, but because you choose to grow even when it’s messy. Real beauty isn’t a filter or a lash set or a perfect brow. It’s the quiet confidence of a woman who knows her worth. A woman who keeps showing up for herself. Glow from the inside → Glam on the outside.”

That philosophy has guided her through the ups and downs of the MAFS experiment. It is the same philosophy she now wants to bring to schools.

Why Schools? Why Young People?

Stella said she connects with young people really well. She sees herself in them — the uncertainty, the insecurity, the desire to be seen and valued.

“I do connect with young people really well,” she said.

Her message is simple: you are enough. You are worthy. You can overcome challenges.

It is a message she has lived. And it is a message she wants to share.

What This Means for Her Career

Stella made it clear that she is not abandoning her beauty technician work. That is her craft. That is her livelihood.

But she is expanding. She is exploring. She is using the platform that MAFS has given her to do something meaningful.

“The boys are doing night club appearances. That’s good for them, but not for me,” she said.

She is not judging them. She is simply stating her truth. She wants to do something different. Something that aligns with her values.

The Reaction: Fans Are Here for It

Fans have largely applauded Stella’s announcement. On social media, many praised her for wanting to use her fame for good rather than for self-promotion.

“Finally, a MAFS star who wants to give back,” one fan wrote.

“She’s always been the most genuine one on the show. This doesn’t surprise me at all,” another added.

“Stella is a class act. The schools would be lucky to have her,” said a third.

The Verdict: A Different Kind of MAFS Success Story

Stella and Filip are already one of the most successful couples in MAFS history. They are still together, still engaged, and planning their real-life wedding in Croatia.

But Stella is not content to just be half of a success story. She wants to build something of her own. She wants to leave a legacy.

Not through club appearances. Not through influencer deals. But through empowering the next generation.

That is a different kind of fame. And it is a different kind of success.

The boys can have the nightclubs. Stella will take the schools.

And the young people who hear her speak will be better for it.
