Thank you to today’s sponsor: Paleovalley - Try 30 beef sticks for $36 at https://impacttheory.co/PaleovalleyWO... I was 13 years old and I remember creeping into my mums room to tear up a photo she took of me a week before. I had sleepless nights knowing it existed because after all, it was just MORE concrete evidence of how ugly I was! It was evidence that the "mean girls" in my school were right! I was ridiculed and called concord for how big my nose was. I was mocked for how flat my chest was. They called me Goofy for my buck teeth. So the laaaaaast thing I wanted was for the photo to be lying around! This was 1992, and I would cry myself to sleep wishing I was different. Wishing I looked and was as pretty as the celebrity models who seem to just have a "perfect life"! I mean, all my problems would go away if I was half as pretty as "The Body" super model, Elle Macpherson right?! Well, cut to 33 years later (& 20 years of building my confidence)... I love my nose because its unique. I am grateful for my small boobs because I don't have to wear a bra in my 40's. And..... I just had the honor of sitting with Elle talking about how there is no such thing as perfect!! Her husband cheated on her with another model, she was publicly ridiculed on set for having brown eyes (only blue was "in"), she got a cancer diagnosis, and overcame alcoholism after years of drinking to a stupor! I mean, god damn.... Here I was, painting her with the "perfect brush" and the woman was just struggling to be accepted and loved, like all of us! So how the hell did she overcome it? How did she not break? How did she fall to her knees over and over again and KEEP getting back up even NOW in her 60's??? Well, that's why I asked to have her on the show! I listen to what you guys need and then figure out who can teach us! So ladies, whatever you are trying to do at ANY age, this Elle "tell-ALL" episode today will help you get there!
