  • the fact that I didn't even notice but it is actually a london-based

  • skin care company which is amazing it's basically a natural no synthetic

  • fragrances no synthetic chemicals that are added to the products these are two

  • products that I've been using for the past I've been testing it for the past

  • probably three months this is a night oil that I use it's a restaurant of oil

  • serum and the founder is this young woman Emma who just wanted to create

  • something that's safe but yet has active ingredients that are effective for your

  • skin so the first thing is this restaurant of oil serum it's with

  • retinol and frankincense which is like their main ingredients key ingredients

  • but it also has macadamia oils a lot of really great ingredients it really helps

  • her just kind of plumping the skin and the radiance I usually apply four to

  • five drops of this in my palm you actually have to shake it and it's

  • actually pink which is really cute I also like to use this when I have my Gua

  • Sha but I forgot it though so I just like to press it in even just using your

  • hands to give just a little lift you know

  • a little like so this is just a great product that really soaks right in and

  • it's then frankincense which is a curry ingredients it's a great

  • anti-inflammatory and it helps with the redness that I often experience

  • especially when it's cold outside so that's kind of what made me go and

  • explore this product and then the retinol is a form of vitamin A which is

  • great for helping with any signs of anti aging and fine lines and then basically

  • just gonna help seal the deal with this one this is also another product from

  • their line and this is an honey and coconut hydrating lip balm

  • it actually has also willow bark extract that is great for exfoliation honey is a

  • great antibacterial and nourishing ingredients so it will help also with

  • there but it's like it hurts uncomfortable when you're like breaking

  • free you know and this is exactly how I feel I feel like it's just the why I'm

  • so a little business all over the place is that I'm trying to find my

  • this new and this new identity of mine that I love that this is the identity

  • that I wanted to find always I could never thought that I would have become

  • this person you know like I feel like I'm becoming the woman that I wanted to

  • be that's one of the ones that yes of course because growing up thinking yeah

  • add that it's so amazing that for us being like these young girls to leave

  • awesome cause we raised over 4,200 pounds please take mine and I'm just

  • absolutely blown away by this donation it really will change the lives of young

  • women that we work with I elements trust we believe that all young women should

  • have the opportunity to work and thrive over 1 million young women in the UK

  • currently are unemployed or trapped in lower paid insecure work and this means

  • so this means that they struggle to afford basic things like food and

  • housing but it also means that they stuff they're more likely to suffer from

  • things like anxiety low self-esteem and depression and so this donation will

  • help us to provide support services to help young women gain confidence and by

  • deployment and now I am so proud to announce my lovely and amazing wife

  • Clara momentum

  • oh thank you so much okay this feels so awkward

  • can I have my heart and you racing on another level if you guys been part of

  • my journey and follow me you know that this is something that has been such a

  • challenge for me to face but I know that I'm speaking to my people I know that

  • the people in this room are all on the same wave are all with the same mindset

  • and I just feel like this world is a better place right now thank you so so

  • much it's Saturday today I'm sure you got other things to do so I can't even

  • tell you how I appreciate you guys being here and spending this time with me

  • before we get started I just really wanted to take two deep breaths because

  • it's something that I forgot to do today breathe and I heard it's really good for

  • you first breath breathe Emma I know you need it I know a lot of you came alone

  • some came with your spouse's your parents so the first thing that I wanted

  • to do is to connect a little bit more with each other and if you can just turn

  • to each other and for two seconds and just answer three questions your name

  • your favorite ice cream and this one is the third one is the hard one so make

  • sure that you think about it a little bit Backstreet Boys or anything okay

  • ready turn to each other please and then

  • switch

  • oh my god okay so diving into my story I had a

  • pretty good childhood I think that's where my optimistic mindset started but

  • I was really really invisible because I wanted to because that felt to me like

  • my comfort zone I felt that I didn't really have much to say or contribute

  • and I just prefer to not be noticed I think that for my mother who was a very

  • independent strong out there woman it was very difficult to see that her own

  • child suffered from this deep insecurities at such a young age so the

  • turning point for me was when I had my bat mitzvah and I feel like my mother

  • always really tried to put me in situations where I was out there and

  • hoping that that kind of will trigger something in me to feel more confident

  • it didn't she got a photographer to come and take photos of me and I think that

  • that day when we were doing the photo shoot she noticed something a little

  • different about me she noticed that for that moment I kind of escaped that

  • invisibility and I was actually confident in front of the camera and

  • shined something that obviously she hasn't seen before so she kind of build

  • this whole master plan to immerse me more into that world of fashion and

  • modeling and to throw me into a world that will really challenge my

  • insecurities modeling gave me the opportunity to travel the world at a

  • really young age which made me feel independent and strong also what

  • modeling made me do is face my insecurities over and over again so my

  • mom's master plan worked what ended up happening is that I discovered that I

  • actually had a power over my thoughts I had the power over

  • actions I had the power of what I put out there to the world and that was a

  • huge revelation to me and I think a lot of us don't understand how much of it we

  • are not holding in our own hands so that power came through self-awareness so I

  • went and pursued it YouTube made me stand up there and listen to my own

  • voice over and over again and seeing how was how I was acting how I was speaking

  • hearing my grammar mistakes hearing my accent and it was so oh my god you know

  • when you just like watch your own stuff and you just cringe because you just

  • like take yourself apart with all these extra things you could have done to make

  • it better you are your own worst critic and we all know it so it was very

  • difficult but it also was really exciting because in that uncomfortable

  • awkward feeling I knew that I will be able to reach that next level the next

  • layer of insecurities that I have to feel because no one else will make me

  • shoot a video no one else will be constantly beside me rooting for me

  • saying you're doing great although I do have my own version of Kris Jenner over

  • there putting yourself out there letting other people watch you judge you

  • criticized you made me go even deeper into myself because if something

  • bothered me I knew that you can't do anything with that person but something

  • bothered me for a reason bless you I started really going into myself saying

  • why is that person that you don't know bothering you what is in their response

  • or comment triggered something inside of me and that is still something that's

  • happening until this day so being that practicing and consistently that

  • self-awareness made me realize and find more tools to find my own voice to own

  • who I was and to be comfortable with being Who I

  • am and not what other people expected me to be and this is me sharing my journey

  • of becoming becoming the woman that I always wanted to be

  • we're just backstage with Gary and I was telling him the fact that this is

  • happening is so surreal to me I don't think you guys can understand how how

  • comfortable I felt just playing small and just hiding behind things and people

  • and opinions and I never thought that this day will come where I'll be able to

  • stand up and and just believe in what I'm saying and bring value to other

  • people and that feeling is absolutely amazing so I know that we all have it in

  • us and I see all of your faces I speak to you guys every single day I creep the

  • hell out of your accounts I know you guys are so special and you are you are

  • on your own journeys and I love witnessing that hi I'm Lauren

  • I gradually have complete burnouts of energy but now how would you deal with

  • those do you have I definitely have them and I was just discussing it last night

  • that I feel like I'm actually right now at a point where I feel burned out I

  • mean just yesterday I think what I cried 16 times because for me the way I cope

  • with things is that I get overwhelmed and I cry like it's nobody's business so

  • I cried a lot yesterday and I think that it happens to all of us especially today

  • there's so much to do so little time and we want so much for ourselves so I think

  • just like trying to stay in tune with how you feel and know when to take those

  • breaks I think I always remind myself that you know you can't pour from an

  • empty cup and nothing is really worth your health so just you know maybe going

  • a little bit slower for a little while and gaining all that you know a little

  • bit of energy back and then you can sprint again we always try to keep

  • moving and sometimes it's better for us to walk and sometimes it's time to run

  • so I think it's very important to again use that self-awareness use that

  • intuition is that real honest girl talk to your with yourself and be like listen

  • it's time to just chill like relax drink a little lemonade and enjoy your life so

  • that's really my only advice I wish there was some magic pill we could take

  • that I mean that was not a good I was going with this most valuable

  • lesson my mother gave me that I applied to business he said I think that just

  • seeing her never give up and I mean now that I think about it she went through

  • an immigration at 21 from Russia to Israel I was two years old and she moved

  • to a country with no money with no language with nothing and I just

  • remember like sleeping and different like bars and restaurants she used to

  • work and it was such a powerful beautiful journey that we went through

  • together she was a kid herself she didn't know anything and it's a lesson

  • that she taught me through just her own journey I think that she really taught

  • me that we create our own future with the author of her own books and it's

  • something that's very important to remember so she wasn't a victim of her

  • circumstances you could have easily you know just said listen it's really hard I

  • don't speak the language and I don't have any money and I have to think about

  • this two-year-old and I just you know and she just never never get out she

  • always found a way so I think that's something that I always kind of remind

  • myself that there's always a way no matter how you know hearted seems and

  • feels if every Muslim graham cracker carefully ought to train me on poor

  • animal data Coulomb shot empathy the end I appreciate it I'm so proud of you for

  • your courage I know it takes a lot of courage to stand up and you know talk

  • about something that's obviously so it hurts you and I think that it's gonna

  • take time for you to heal from it because I think there's nothing worse

  • than a betrayal from someone that is very close to you and unfortunately

  • there are so many people out there that just don't understand don't understand

  • themselves and don't understand life and just conducting themselves in such a

  • negative way so I think that the thing that really you can do the only thing

  • that you have control over is your own journey I don't think there's I wouldn't

  • want you to waste your precious time thinking about how to make them realize

  • and see how wrong they are I want you to focus on your own growth

  • and on your own thing and I think that a lot of people see that I mean other

  • people that she talks to people surround it with

  • see when there's a toxic person around so you don't need to point that out

  • you just really be strong minded and focus on your own and honestly karma is

  • such a bitch so she will he or she I mean they'll find their way and lessons

  • in life I think that just for you even looking at that person and maybe sending

  • even compassion because for someone to you know be toxic like that it means

  • that they're hurting inside so remember that and you keep doing your own thing

  • I think if I understand correctly your question is do you feel that you have to

  • play down what you who you are for for whatever that was do you feel that you

  • have to play down an amazing question I think that refers back to that playing

  • small you know because I I don't want to make other people feel like I'm bragging

  • or I'm you know more special than them I think that's constantly this thing in

  • my head where actually for the longest time I was writing myself being like

  • valaria you're so humble good for you and it actually became I like became an

  • enemy of mine now because I feel like I'm I started putting putting myself and

  • such like I started playing small so much to make other people feel okay

  • about themselves that it's like I'm not living to my full potential and I'm not

  • saying the things that I want to say and I'm not putting myself out there the way

  • I want to put out there and something that I've noticed that when I stopped

  • thinking about it and stopped playing small for other people to feel good and

  • I started showing up and doing my thing it actually affected the people around

  • me for the better because it's like shows them that they you know

  • can step up and do their own thing so it's like by showing my little shine

  • it's like I gave them their okay to show their own shine and it's just like this

  • beautiful gift that you give other people I know it feels weird sometimes
