Katie Willcox has been working as a professional model for more than 15 years and went on to start her own agency, called Natural Model Management.

\\n\\n\\n

She is the author of "Healthy Is the New Skinny: Your Guide to Self-Love in a \'Picture Perfect\' World" and is responsible for the website and online movement of the same name.\\xa0

\\n\\n\\n

Katie also holds body-positive workshops for girls and adult women -- aiming to educate others about media manipulation and to challenge the beauty ideal implemented by the media.\\xa0

\\n\\n\\n

She joined me on Olympic & Bundy to talk about the modeling industry itself, as she began working as a plus-size model in high school, the false advertising we face as consumers, social media in 2018, raising a daughter of her own and much more!\\xa0
