oddly written in the third person. Is this more common in japanese writing and done here for style effect? Or maybe she didn’t write it but told story to an English language writer who reported on her tale?

Yes, it's basically a translation/adaptation of an article/blog post from a lifestyle website targeting women:

Is that 3rd person like someone interviewing her or as they would be watching her a writing style in these sorts of thing or some odd translation issue?

 

maybe it was the English language writer writing it like observing her tell her story. Just struck me as an odd style.
