The Lucie Beatrix Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This episode talks about how the bustling streets of New York City compare to the laid-back life of Texas. It's been a challenge of living a dual life between two very different worlds. With my brilliant producer, Jason Belsky, by my side, we share the evolution of our creative journey, from expanding our studio space to juggling diverse projects. This episode uncovers my love-hate relationship with the grind of city life, and the surprising personal growth that comes from balancing these contrasting environments.

Ever had a neighbor who seems to test the very limits of your sanity? Jason and I recount our separate ongoing sagas with noisy neighbors, those unwelcome symphonies of urban living, and the delicate art of managing one's peace in shared spaces. We tackle the generational shift in parenting styles and how it echoes through the thin walls of apartment life. Whether it's confronting the cacophony or adjusting to the quietude of Texas nights, this colorful narrative offers a slice of the complex tapestry that is city dwelling.

Exploring topics from motherhood at 35 to the peculiar world of marathons in Crocs, this episode doesn't shy away from the unique and unexpected. I share my reflections on future life choices, the modern landscape of dating in New York, and the curious allure of "rage listening" to provocative podcasts. With humor and introspection, we dive into the dynamics of personal and professional growth, revealing the quirks and inspirations that keep us moving forward.

Lucie Beatrix has a conversation with Sofia Camacho Ferral, the non-binary marathon runner who placed first (2:31:29) in the TCS NYC Marathon. We talk about their international upbringing, relationship with food, navigating gender dysphoria, and healing from past trauma, training for their marathon, and drag performance art.

Have you ever wondered what really goes on behind the glamorous façade of the modeling industry? I reveal the good, the bad, and the downright ugly in this candid episode. I take you back to the 2000s, a wild west era in modeling, before the Me Too movement or social media had any influence. It was a time when control came from adults who dictated my body, my diet, and even my hair. Listen as I recount the harsh reality of having my weight discussed in cold, objective terms, and the lasting impact this has had on my self-perception. I hope things have changed, but it's important to reflect on these experiences.

The journey continues into the body image struggles that were all too common amongst models in the industry. Hear how the pressure to conform to a certain size dominated conversations, discouraged exercise, and even exempted me from PE classes. It was an era where drastic weight loss was celebrated, and I found myself on the cover of a magazine despite being over my agency's 'desired' size. Brace yourself as we delve into the challenges of navigating this world, from bracing for body shaming comments, to dealing with creepy individuals. This episode is not just a trip down memory lane, it's a call for a healthier, more inclusive industry, where success isn't measured by the number on the scale.

I’ve lived in New York City for a dozen years of my life, and one of the best things about that is crossing paths with so many different kinds of striving, determined people going after their dreams. 

When I first moved here, I literally had nothing except the clothes on my back but I knew I had the drive to get me to where I want to go. I crashed on couches and found a way to get in front of the right people at the right time to end up being able to actually live here, which was a dream come true.

So on today’s show, I’m going to have a conversation with my friend Sallie who I met years ago when we both worked at the same place. I was on a break from my modeling career where I picked up a job working in a coffee shop where Sallie showed me how to steam milk and make the perfect cappuccino. 

When I started working there I looked up her Instagram before I actually knew her, and saw she does all these stand-up comedy shows around the city. Which is a pretty crazy side hustle. So today we are gonna talk about the stand-up scene as well as just what motivates us to go after our dreams. 

In this episode, I lay it all out on what my sobriety means. 

How over a decade of fashion modeling prepared me to go after big marathon goals with Nike's Project Moonshot. 

I talk about the last few weeks of project moonshot training as well as falling at the start of Team Champs this weekend. 

The true story of being targeted and impersonated as a model. 

Our first group workout, a fashion modeling shoot, my team's annual track meet, and more.
