In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Pearson, who has spent nearly 25 years in the modelling industry. Together, we explore what it truly means to grow up in a world obsessed with image, beauty, and perfection. We share honest reflections on the burnout, the pressure, and the hidden costs that come with being constantly in the spotlight. From Rebecca’s early days to her decision to speak out through her blog Modeltypeface, we dig into the realities most models don’t talk about openly.

What if the fear you feel isn't a stop sign, but the doorway to your purpose?

In this solo episode, I get honest about my own journey with loneliness and that unsettling feeling of not knowing what I’m here for. I talk about how fear almost kept me from stepping into the work that lights me up — and how I learned that clarity doesn’t come before action. It comes because of it.

If you’ve ever waited to feel “ready,” or thought everyone else knows what they’re doing but you — I made this one for you. We’ll talk about what purpose really is (and isn’t), why fear often masks potential, and how starting messy, scared, and unsure is actually the most powerful thing you can do.

Let’s stop waiting for perfect. Let’s just start.

Afraid to Begin? That’s Exactly When You Should

In this expansive episode of Connected with Iva, I sit down with the multi-talented Noemi Gunea to explore the layered theme of identity, especially through our shared Eastern European roots. We dive into what it means to unlearn inherited cultural conditioning, how to gamify life to reconnect with joy, and why putting your desires on a pedestal can distance you from your power.

Together, we reflect on the energetics of manifestation, navigating the tension between scarcity and safety, and how most of us live stretched across time — carrying old wounds, chasing future dreams, and forgetting the quiet strength of the present.

We ask:
– Can your pain become a portal to deeper self-connection?
– Can your future self guide you, while you help your past self feel safe?
– What truly makes you you?

This episode is for anyone redefining who they are, reclaiming where they come from, and reimagining where they’re going.
