The“Kodak Girl”, Running from the Mob, and Becoming A Hollywood Stunt woman ft. Georgia Durante

52m · The Truthiest Life · 23 Sep 07:00

Georgia Durante became the "Kodak Girl" when the life size image of her became the poster-board ad for Kodak, displayed in more than 80,000 retail stores throughout the world.

 

But behind that static smiley cardboard version of Georgia was a girl who endured brutal rape, got caught up in the mob, and had to flee for her life.  

 

This woman is the epitome of strong, connected to her core, and FILLED with self-respect that she built from scratch.

 

Georgia Spills: 

  • How she got involved with the MOB and why she had to flee to the other side of the country
  • How being “the Kodak girl” shaped her future and self-worth
  • Why staying silent after her rape wasn’t an option and how she helps women who have been abused
  • What life looks like now, after 3 failed marriages, and adopting her granddaughter.

Toddler Tips: Parenting Swaps to Go From Chaos to Calm

At around 2 years old, I realized my daughter was no longer a baby. Melt downs without reason, less naps for “me time”, and a tiny brain that was sucking in all of its surroundings – I felt lost and exhausted and overwhelmed by the fact that I now had a very impressionable tiny human.

Fortunately this was the summer I took off all work and used this time to explore, read, learn, and listen to all sorts of philosophies.

Turns out, all I was missing was TOOLS and a philosophy that suits me. I now find toddler-parenting (exhausting at times of course!!), but also so joyful, cool, empowering - and dare I say healing.

In this episode I share 14 changes I’ve made that have really helped the entire house be happier and emotionally healthier.

I hope you enjoy :)

IRL Besties Interviewing Lisa for her 35th Birthday

For my 35th birthday, I wanted to bring you something different. Share a part of myself you’ve probably never seen before — which is me when I’m with my best friends. Geri has been my best friend for 25 years, and when she met Lulu, her wife, I gained another best friend.  I always understand myself better after being with them — this convo will have you laughing, thinking in new ways about all things life, relationships, and social media, and hopefully, adding a new dimension to how you see me.  

 

I sincerely hope you feel like you’re just hanging out with your best friends in your own home while listening to this episode! 

<3 

 

In this convo, we spill: 

- Social media trends: why they became a creative block to Lisa’s inspiration

- Why Lisa can share without tripping herself up about how it will read in the future  

- Cancel Culture: would it be that bad? 

- Social Sharing: can we be present if we’re documenting? 

- Unpopular opinions the three of us hold: funny, thought-provoking, and hypocritical

- Health technology: is it making us healthy?

- Boundaries: why Lisa lays them on thick AND  thinks they don’t need to be verbally explained 

- Lisa’s traditional life choices: would she reconsider?
