In a recent documentary by Yle, singer Olga Heikkala opens up about her past battles with mental health, including periods of depression, panic attacks, and eating disorders during her high school years. She explains how these experiences were marked by feelings of self-loathing and critical self-reflection, which made her reluctant to be in the public eye. However, finding theater and acting provided her with an outlet, allowing her to temporarily escape her reality and embody different characters.

Olga became known for her role as Mira Angevuota in the popular Finnish series 'Salatut elämät,' where she acted from 2018 to 2023. Despite her initial success in acting, the desire to pursue music lingered in her mind. She secretly worked on her songs, driven by the need to express herself authentically after experiencing a painful breakup that motivated her to take action and create music for herself.

The documentary also addresses the negative backlash she faced on social media following her breakup, highlighting the struggles public figures often endure from online hate. Olga's story serves as an example of resilience and the power of focusing on one's passion in the face of adversity, suggesting that pursuing one's creative ambitions can be a form of healing.
