In this episode, we speak with Val Emanuel, sustainability advocate, animal activist, entrepreneur and co-founder, with Anne Therese, of the world’s first ethical modeling agency, Role Models Management. Val shares with us how growing up in an immigrant family shaped her views on sustainable living, and how she practices a sustainable lifestyle, not because it’s trendy, but because it’s the only way she knows to be true.

We were so inspired to talk with Val about her journey, how sobriety led to self-discovery and how doing the inner work is what makes you feel like you belong and can be powerful in the world. Val believes in the power of a mentor, and we learned so much from her in this episode. We hope you do too.
