Beyond being my personal style inspiration and a model, Emily DiDonato is also the founder of a new skincare brand called Covey and a body positivity advocate. For episode 153, we chat about her journey to self acceptance and the rollercoaster that was becoming a model after being scouted in a Connecticut Mall. She talks to me about struggling with her size early on in her career, spending hours on end at the gym and eating apples trying to be the “right fit.” She details one #hurdlemoment with a makeup artist and stylist on set that changed everything, empowering her to do away with restrictive behavior and embrace her body — encouraging others to do the same. She also opens up about the evolution of her career, including big opportunities with companies from Maybelline to Chanel and Giorgio Armani, and how she got into the skincare game (she’s absolutely loving being an entrepreneur). We also talk content creation, New York City living, her go-to fitness routine, and so much more.
