If we can just accept ourselves and the universe around us in this moment as it is, and the things that we can't control, um, at least for me, life gets a lot easier when I can have those moments.
What happens when the glitz and glamour of the modeling world hide a darker reality? In this powerful episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Nikki DuBose, a former model whose life behind the camera was anything but picture-perfect. Nikki opens up about her harrowing experiences with incest, eating disorders, and a myriad of mental health struggles.
She candidly shares how her mother's alcoholism and bipolar disorder compounded her own battles with binging, bulimia, anorexia, and Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Nikki's story is a raw look at the emotional and physical toll that led her to walk away from modeling at the height of her career. Her journey from darkness to light is filled with moments of despair but also incredible resilience.
Nikki discusses the pressures of the modeling industry, the exploitation she faced, and the moment she hit rock bottom. But more importantly, she talks about her path to recovery, emphasizing the importance of self-love, self-care, and acceptance. This episode is not just for those who have faced similar struggles but for anyone seeking an honest conversation about mental health and healing.
