I Choose Me

By: Nadine Leopold
  • Summary

  • My whole life, I cared so much about what other people thought, about other people’s approval, and then one day I looked in the mirror and realized I didn’t like the person looking back at me. That’s when I said to myself, “I Choose Me.” So I created I Choose Me as a platform to share stories about the dark times, about mental health, and about transformation. If I had known that other girls were going through the same things, it would have been a lot easier for me to make different choices — and I don’t want any more girls to be lost like that. My name is Nadine Leopold and I Choose Me.

  • 11. We Can Do Better: A Conversation on Racism + #BlackLivesMatter with Nadia Araujo
    Jul 6 2020
    Today’s guest has an incredible life story and she has accomplished so so much in her life, but she had to navigate a world and industry full of racism to do it. Nadia Araujo starts an open conversation about how she’s experienced racism over the years, how she thinks everyone can be better, and how racism manifests in the modeling industry. If you don’t experience racism in your life, you can’t just ignore the topic and try to go through the rest of your life blind. Being silent is being complicit in the perpetuation of injustice. We have to stand up, take accountability, and earnestly try to do better.

  • 10. Divorce: Perspective for Kids + Advice for Parents
    Jun 29 2020
    While I originally created this show to speak to young girls, I was excited to discover that I also have a lot of parents listening. I think it’s so important for parents to hear about the struggles that so many of their children go through, often silently. Today, I’m going to address an area where these things really intersect: divorce. There’s a lot to consider during and after a divorce, both as parents and as kids. There’s a lot that kids don’t see, and vice versa.  So, I want to share my experience with divorce, why it’s hard for many young kids to reckon with seeing their parents as vulnerable people for the first time, what went through my head as I watched it happen, some perspective I wish I’d had at the time, and what I think parents can do to help their kids make it through this difficult transition without hurting too much.
