The DARK Side of Modeling! Transforming My Life + Building Confidence | Paige Adams-Geller

Paige Adams-Geller has redefined how women feel in denim, but the real story is how she rebuilt confidence from the inside out.

Paige Adams-Geller went from teenage model in NYC to the founder of a global fashion empire, PAIGE. Mercedes and Anastasia are joined by Paige as she shares how moving from Alaska to NYC at 16 shaped her identity, what it took to heal from toxic environments in the modeling industry, and the moment she stepped away from it all to rediscover who she really was. She also gives an inspiring behind-the-scenes look into building PAIGE from a premium denim brand into a full lifestyle fashion house, and the science behind why what we wear can genuinely change how we feel.


In this episode:

- From Alaska to NYC at 16: how a bold move shaped her identity and confidence.

- The truth about growing up in the modeling industry.

- Tips for building a positive self-image & body-image.

- How Paige rebuilt her support system.

- What to wear to feel happier + more confident.

- Life lessons from philanthropy, advocacy, and sitting on boards that once helped her.

- Hacks for self-acceptance & setting boundaries.


Whether you’re navigating self-image, dreaming of launching a creative career, or simply trying to feel more empowered in your own skin, Paige’s story will remind you that confidence is built, not born, and that you are stronger than you think, no matter what chapter you’re in.
