187. How To Take Your Power Back When The World Is Telling You "NO" w/ Rocky Barnes

How do you take your power back when everyone around you is telling you no? As a petite, half-Filipino model coming up in the early 2010’s, the chips were stacked against her. Both the industry AND her agents kept telling her to run away from the unique, eye-popping look that has since become her trademark, and instead, try to look as taller, skinnier, and whiter. So what did Rocky do? She took her power back. Using her Instagram as a platform, she listened to her gut and focused on a look that felt authentic, and she has since become one of Instagram's most recognizable faces in fashion and modeling. Trusting her gut and listening to her inner-knowing has been the entire basis of her success! Now she's created her own fashion line (that I'm OBSESSED WITH By The Way), and she's embraced marriage and motherhood with wisdom and maturity (get ready for some marriage advice). I LOVED chatting with my new friend @Rocky_Barnes, and I was taken aback by how much wisdom she sent our way!
