What up guys? Lisa Bilyeu here. And I want to talk to you about how we dismiss ourselves and don't feel good enough. Now, I'm 45 So growing up, Elle Macpherson was the supermodel. Like she just was on every single magazine cover. She was considered the body by Time Magazine. She was considered the body and rocking the runways. And she was just owning the space. And she was so damn confident. All the while, I'm this 14-year-old girl feeling terribly about myself, getting bullied for my lurks. And I just wish that I had Elle Macpherson's confidence. So yes, I bet you can guess that today's guest is none other than Elle Macpherson. But here's the, and here is the crazy thing, guys. And here's the thing, guys. Do you wanna know how damn wrong I was in thinking that she was just gifted and had these magical powers of confidence? Because she talks about in this episode, all the things that we didn't see, all the struggles that she had to go through, all the things that we just thought because she's pretty, that she doesn't have to deal with it. But oh my God, the crazy, deep, heartfelt journey this woman has been on about how to actually figure out who you are, rediscover yourself, reinvent yourself, fall on your knees time and time again, but to be able to keep getting back up even now in her 60s. So let's be real, who would have thought that a supermodel actually needed to find self-love? You would have thought that we just look in the mirror and they would love themselves. But God damn, how wrong is that? How many times do you insult yourself and other people tell you that you're amazing and then you just beat yourself up over the thing that other people tell you you're great at? We somehow see ourselves in a very different light and we think that we have to be perfect in order to show up and we think that we have to be perfect. But Elle's story and her lessons are so damn profound because we can all learn from how she was able to take the hits and keep getting up, how she was able to keep moving on her journey and never freaking let someone get in her way. We talk about how on earth she hit rock bottom and was able to turn it around and what wake up call that she actually needed. Now guys, maybe you need that wake up call too. And that isn't a bad thing in the sense of don't beat yourself up for it. But damn, we've got to stop living our lives for other people. And she tells you exactly how she was able to get that wake up call and pay attention to her life and the things she cared about. We also talk about why tuning into our bodies as women is just an absolute game changer and the fact that we don't listen to our guts enough. And she talks about how she learned to listen to her gut that took her from nothing to being able to live the life that fills her up. And then we talk about the little daily rituals that she actually swears by to stay freaking strong, to stay grounded and to stay in your power so that you never end up letting someone walk over you or letting someone cross your boundaries. Guys, this was such an incredible, incredibly inspiring conversation. And that 14 year old girl inside of me felt so much relief, to be honest. It was a relief to see that no woman actually has it perfect. But you know what? We can develop the tools and the mindset and the skills to be able to then adjust and improve our lives. And that's exactly what she did. That's why her message is so profound. My homie, if you're 20, if you're 30 years old, if you're 40, if you're in your 60s, this interview, this discussion, this chat is for you. Because no matter where you are in your life, it's about what tools do we use in order to be the proud woman that we've always wanted to be. So my homie, lean in because we're about to freaking go hard with none other than the amazing supermodel Ozzy Elle Macpherson. Guys, I'm Lisa Bilyeu. Welcome to Women of Impact.
