She is fluent in two languages English and Spanish with some polish knowledge. Not a lot is known about her childhood until her pre — teenage years. At the age of 12 Zoie was going to school in New Zealand.

This was the year things change for her. She and her peers were suddenly more focused on the way their body looked. At the age of eleven, she started dieting for experiment reasons. She wanted to see what would happen if she ate less.

Zoie got hooked on this ‘Self — harm practice’. she obtains an eating disorder and drops to 96 pounds (43 kg) ! even though she dropping so much weight she still felt fat. By the time she was 15 her eating disorder vanished and she started gaining weight to eventually lose it. The cycle continued until she realized that things went out of control. She came to a conclusion that she would try to find balance in her eating.

Zoie came up with an idea to start a personal blog where she would talking about her weight program to help others get fit. The blog was also a way to share her knowledge and experience with people that struggle with an eating disorder.

From Twitch to Youtube | Zoie Burgher

Zoie wasn’t really into social media until 2013. But she had a passion for video games ever since she was a little girl. One of her favorite games was the well known first person shoot ‘Call Of Duty’. She started streaming on Twitch but her gameplay wasn’t like the Average Joe. She combined what her momma gave her and videos games. By wearing close that belong in the beach.

She became known as the bikini streamer. The attention she got was mine blowing. Of course, a lot of perverts would tune in as soon as she’s online. Her success on Twitch pulled in 1000’s of subscribers. But unfortunately, the platform found this too much violations of community guidelines and kicked her out of the platform not once, not twice but four times!! The fourth time was in 2016 where she wouldn’t stream for weeks and still got removed fro the platform.

However, the bikini streamer didn’t give up. Zoie switches to a much bigger platform we all know as youtube.
