Today on Stop the World 🌎 we have a guest who shatters all the myths about beauty queens: Daniela Di Giacomo. In a super honest and unfiltered conversation, the former Miss International opens her heart about what it means to live under the microscope of beauty standards, her health challenges, and her journey to motherhood.
Dani tells us about her experience modeling from a very young age in Europe, the extreme pressure she faced in Miss Venezuela (where she confesses she was weighed every day), and how today, from Miami, she continues to break molds with her humor and spontaneity. We also talk in depth about her lupus diagnosis, her decision to freeze her eggs, and the reality of trying for a baby. A necessary conversation about resilience, health, and self-love.
