Summary

In this week’s episode, Tay is joined by model, actress, host, and entrepreneur Olivia Culpo! Olivia opens up about her journey into motherhood, sharing what her birth experience was like and how her postpartum journey has been, including her experience with D-MER. She gets candid about the challenges of balancing work and motherhood, how she makes time for herself and her husband, Christian McCaffrey, and how the two support each other through life’s highs and lows—especially with Christian’s busy NFL schedule. Olivia also reflects on her pageant journey, the imposter syndrome and comparison she faced, and what it was like winning Miss Rhode Island, Miss USA, and Miss Universe back-to-back in her very first year. She shares how she’s learned to set boundaries with social media, why it’s important to take breaks and stay grounded, and opens up about her experience with endometriosis and the importance of advocating for your health. Plus, Olivia gives us a glimpse into her new Netflix series Next Gen Chef and wraps up by answering the Lemon 7!

You had to be a certain height to be any sort of like runway model or model in general.

0:10.2

Like you had to fit a certain prototype and a lot of that had to do with your height and weight.

0:14.2

You ever feel like you struggled with imposter syndrome at all or not like feeling you belonged because you were new to that environment. It was more based on how I looked, unfortunately. I was the youngest person actually to compete in that year and that I was also by far the shortest. People are going to tear you to shreds online and you're just going to read what they're deciding to tear you to shreds about and you're going to internalize that and be insecure. So for me, it was my hike.

0:38.7

Ugh, it's so dumb.

0:39.9

Did you, I guess, learn at the time to kind of set boundaries with social media, or have you kind of learned that now? When you need to take breaks, take the breaks from social media. It's toxic. There's always something that you're going to be insecure about and there are always settings that are going to make you feel that imposter syndrome.

0:54.6

That's why it's just so important to have a really strong... that you're going to be insecure about and there are always settings that are going to make you feel that imposter syndrome.

0:54.6

That's why it's just so important to have a really strong circle who really knows who you are.

1:01.3

Lean on that and what they think of you. Olivia, welcome to the squeeze.

1:20.6

Thanks.

1:21.4

1:28.8

Netflix show, being a mom. And I was kind of telling you before, we have like a lot of random

1:35.6

1:43.1

1:53.0

them right yeah yeah we're in like opposite ends of the rooms we've Taylor I literally had this

1:59.9

exact same we just had this exact conversation he was like just had this exact conversation. He was like, don't forget the story. I was like, wait, we didn't meet her, though. He was like, no, but, and then he reminded me because he loves football. He loves your husband. Like, he's just, he's a big football guy. Well, clearly my husband loves Twilight because he was one that brought it to my attention. That's so good. He sees Christian sitting there and he's like, oh my gosh, look who's here. I'm like, go say hi. And Taylor thinks that he just like hates going up to people because I think he has this irrational fear that like he's going to bother someone or that no one's going to know who he is. Like he just like doesn't want to make people feel weird. I'm like, just go say hi, hon. It's fine. And he's like,

2:37.5

no, no, no. Like, I'm not going to. I don't want to bug him. And then like a human. He is. Yeah, that's what I try telling him. But then a few minutes later, Christian came and tapped him on the shoulder and he was very excited.
