This week, Valeria is joined by iconic Victoria's Secret Angel, supermodel, and entrepreneur, Taylor Hill. Taylor opens up about her journey as a model, beginning with her career's early start at the age of 14 and the challenges of growing up in the modeling industry, including dropping out of high school and navigating the pressures of public life. She also highlights the pivotal moment in her career when she joined Victoria’s Secret at 18, which propelled her into the global spotlight. Taylor reflects on the brand's past promotion of unrealistic beauty standards and expresses her support for its recent shift towards inclusivity and authenticity.
Beyond her career, Taylor talks about the importance of family support, particularly her mother’s unwavering presence during her early modeling years. She also touches on her approach to body image, embracing the changes that come with aging, and the value of self-acceptance. The episode takes an emotional turn as Taylor discusses her deep connection with her late dog, Tate, and the grief of losing him, as well as her experience with the loss of an unplanned pregnancy.

In today’s solo episode, join me as I open up about experiencing my first panic attack, a terrifying moment that left me feeling completely vulnerable. I walk you through the intense buildup of stress from work, personal life, and underlying health anxieties that led to this overwhelming experience. Ignoring my body’s warning signs and pushing through the stress ultimately brought me to this breaking point, forcing me to reassess how I approach my mental health.
I share my journey of recovery, exploring different methods to manage stress, including hypnotherapy, which has been incredibly impactful for me. I also emphasize the importance of being mindful of our mental well-being and avoiding the normalization of anxiety and overwhelm, especially for women. Through this episode, I hope to inspire you to prioritize your mental health and find healthier ways to cope with life’s pressures.

In today’s solo episode, join me as I share my journey of redefining femininity by balancing both feminine and masculine energies within myself. I talk about moving away from societal norms and focusing on my true self. Inspired by the book "The Wild Feminine" by Tammy Lynn Kent, I am learning to lean into releasing emotions and reconnecting with my body. Together, let’s work on cultivating feminine energy into our lives to avoid exhaustion from living in a masculine-driven way, and to embrace our pleasure, creativity, and self-care.
