Summary
This week, we’re joined by model, entrepreneur, and early-2000s icon Molly Sims, whose career spans Vogue covers, Old Navy campaigns, major runways, and six Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues (with two covers — casual). We talk about what it was really like modeling in the pre-social media era — the body pressure, the behind-the-scenes chaos, and the beauty standards that would never fly today — plus how those years shaped her relationship with aging and self-confidence.
She shares the products and treatments she swears by, how she protected her sense of self in the spotlight, and why she launched YSE Beauty to create skincare for women who felt overlooked by the industry. Use code GLOSS15 for 15% off your order at YSEBeauty.com.
