Katie Willcox is someone who, even though she’s younger than me, I look up to in many ways because she has this unapologetic way of speaking out about the truth with such beauty and grace.
Katie is the founder and CEO of Natural Model Management and Healthy is the New Skinny. Using her 15 years of experience in the modeling industry as a curvy model, Willcox strives to change the game of self-love by approaching the topic of body image from an intellectual viewpoint vs. an irrational and emotional one.
By breaking down the “skinny” beauty ideal and exposing its origins, agenda, and harmful effect it is having on society, Katie empowers people to choose their health over the beauty ideal implemented by the media, and provides the tools needed to create lasting change.
In this episode, Katie and I discuss the modeling industry, the fake side of the wellness industry, why she speaks out about controversial issues in such a public way, the importance of having boundaries, her top book recommendation, and so much more!
The Pain Points We Explore In This Episode:
Katie’s experiences seeing behind the curtain of the fashion and wellness industries
How most people don’t recognize that deciding to have a child is an act of privilege
Why Katie speaks up the way she does on such public platforms
Why Katie has chosen not to monetize her Healthy is the New Skinny social media accounts
The connection between your energy and the ebbs and flows of your business
The importance of not relying solely on manifesting what you want for your life and business
How Katie’s childhood impacted the way she approaches setting boundaries
