When you start modeling and auditioning, you’re competing against all of these beautiful, gorgeous people, and you start to compare yourself, and more often than not, you start to find flaws in your body that don’t even exist.
You are perfect the way you are, and at the end of the day, it’s not about trying to be somebody else or looking like another person - it’s about being who you are.
Today, Diana and I will be talking about her amazing paths along her career journey, her triumph over breast cancer and how that changed her, and also, how she’s approaching her day to day differently now, in our new normal in the world of COVID.
Diana Gallo has been a model for over 20 years and appeared on magazine covers, commercials, television shows, movies, music videos, and print catalogs. She is a professional make-up artist and also a certified yoga instructor who uses yoga and breathwork to help her students feel grounded, calm, and confident under any circumstances. She has recently opened the Manhattan Model Studio that goes hand in hand with Billy Gallo’s business, the Manhattan Actor Studio. Diana and her husband’s combined talents and knowledge make them experts in the modeling and acting industries.
Diana’s ultimate goal is to teach her students life-long skills, which will carry them through any of their endeavors, so listen to Episode 02 of Get Glowing, where she shares some of these skills with all of us and of course, her beauty tips and routines.
