Walking into the Intensati class of Patricia Moreno 6 years ago was the Universe telling me “take a look at this”.
I had brought my life to a breaking point with fear and shame being the driving forces. Feeling victimized, enraged, feeling at a loss ready to throw everything away, my marriage, my family life, my life in New York.
Experiencing the overflow of positivity yet empathy in Patricia’s class was opening a crack the door to spirituality in my life. I knew nothing about yoga, about affirmations, about visualizations, about talking to and seeing myself.
There is beauty in differences. Height, color of skin, being out of the norm are more often than not a gift from nature. On this week’s episode, we talk about a difference that is truly remarkable, Albinism.
The ratio of people with albinism (both sexes) in the US is 1 in 17-20,000. It appears that the percentage of people in the US taller than 6ft is 15.5%, with 1% of that being women. Meaning, we know we stand out.
This week’s guest on the podcast has a strong connection to Albinism. In this episode, Award winner Photojournalist Stephanie Sinclair describes how she and her husband got to adopt two children (all at once!) with Albinism after she had done a compelling project in Tanzania for the National Geographic. This episode teaches us how choosing a life of purpose can truly change the world. Her work in the New York Times Magazine, Natural Geographic, The Time, NPR and more has changed cultures and the lives of so many, especially young girls through her non-profit Too Young To Wed.
Alicia is an open-book of authenticity and care. Her story will inspire you and encourage you to love yourself even more, with your shortcomings and all. What a treat to have her on the T-Factor Podcast. This unapologetic beauty shares how she’s come to terms with her body, and then some. She’s been on loud-speaker ever since she’s found her voice and started sharing her journey of self-love.
As Tall ladies, we know the feeling when something fits for the first time or the disappointment when we can't find anything at all. The inspirational Market Space Collagerie is talking straight to the emotions of shopping where you feel right at home and want to hang. The curation is new and right on the money, filling a gap in the industry where you can shop from High street to High End. This episode is for the entrepreneur in you.
Meet the person I want to be when I grow up, Zanna Van Dijk:-)
This is a 6’2” goddess with a deep understanding of who she is and a laser sharp focus on what she has to bring to this world. At 27 years old, this Blogger extraordinaire has Tons to offer us all. Zanna’s Ethos is clear and fought for. She walks the walk in everything that she does, bringing meaning to her life like no other.
This is an emotional episode for ML. Hearing Amy Rosenthal from Amalli Talli talk about the debilitating effect her own perception of her difference had on her, it felt like Amy was telling ML's story.
Meet ex-volleyball players, 6'4" Amy Rosenthal and 5'10" Amy Black, Founders of Amalli Talli, a Tall Fashion brand dedicated to women with shopping difficulties. Tired of living in a world that didn't take their height into serious and kind consideration, the sisters show vulnerability and power to help themselves and their community change their narrative. As they put it "when style + fit come together, it is truly life changing." Their willingness to share their experience is what attracts so many tall gals, and ML!, into their world.
