Lea Michele has no problem getting candid. In her new cover story for Marie Claire’s November issue, the Scream Queens star, stripped down and got honest about her body work and she’s learned to take charge of all aspects of her career.

The former Broadway star told Marie Claire of her album, Louder, it was the debut studio album by actress and singer Lea Michele. It was released on February 28, 2014.  As an artist, that can be harsh. That's why she is more hands on with her new album.

Michele currently has a busy work load, working on her second album, starring on Ryan Murphy’s new Fox horror comedy, and writing a new book.

But that hasn’t stopped the Glee star from taking time for her own personal growth.

After the 2013 death of her then boyfriend and Glee co star Cory Monteith, Michele spent a lot of time focusing on herself.

"Getting to the other side takes a lot of work,’ she said of her sorrow and heartache.

“All you can do is get to the other side. It's a struggle. When you do, there is happiness there. It's important to me to keep private some of that process with how I got here. But I am here, I am good, and I am very grateful for that."

Fortunately, she was able to work things out and moved forward with her life. The 29-year-old star has come along way, finding love with Matthew Paetz and a new found awareness after tackling with honor for a little while.

Paetz reportedly has worked as a male escort. He was the first man the Brunette Ambition author, has dated since the tragic death of her boyfriend from Glee.
