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.

I love my job and I love being able to connect with you all through social media but I’m also hyper-aware of how it impacts our minds and perceptions of those we follow. We know by now that social media isn’t REAL, it’s all the best parts and it often flattens us into two-dimensional characters. And it is so important that we remember that we are all more complex, that we’re all trying our best to figure things out as we go. There’s no such things as a perfect parent or a perfect relationship or a perfect business. We all face challenges whether it’s internal or in our environment and I hope this episode makes you feel less alone in that.  Instagram post mentioned: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5gpeiJu_us/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==  Valeria is on: https://www.instagram.com/valerialipovetsky/  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWkDFq1pO7YNzifE3A4UsMA  https://www.tiktok.com/@valeria.lipovetsky  Not Alone Podcast What We Talked About: 00:00 Intro 01:10 Social media is fake 03:55 Being the perfect and superwoman mother on social media 09:36 Finding balance as a new mom 12:08 Overcoming imposter syndrome 16:56 Embracing feminine energy 27:26 Learning to celebrate accomplishments 31:04 Guilt in motherhood Learn more about your ad choices.
