Lauren Sánchez is doing some reflecting — and keeping her head held high.

Over the weekend, the former news anchor was praised, and supported, by fans as she shared an inspirational message on Instagram.

The New Mexico native is currently engaged to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who she started dating in 2019 following their respective divorces.

Lauren — a licensed pilot and the founder of aerial filming company Black Ops Aviation —  took to Instagram on Sunday and shared a selfie in which she appears to be aboard a helicopter, wearing a white tank top paired with a Chanel denim baseball cap and Chanel sunglasses, plus Bose headphones.

"Some years start with turbulence, but that's just the wind reminding you to spread your wings," she then wrote in her caption.

"Good to be back in the air…" she went on, and concluded: "Here's to flying farther than we ever imagined," alongside emojis for a helicopter, rocket, and silver heart.

Others followed suit with: "You are always so beautiful and inspiring Lauren," and: "My idol. So inspired to take up a helicopter license and fly it just like you," as well as: "So much inspiration seeing life from a different perspective."
