In this week's episode, I'm breaking down the recent Miss Universe controversy and the bigger conversation it sparks about conflict, mistreatment, and emotional maturity in pageant culture. I'm sharing my own experiences as a former titleholder, the lessons I learned the hard way, and what Miss Mexico's response can teach all of us about grace under pressure. Whether you're a new competitor, a seasoned titleholder, or someone who supports the industry, this episode offers a real, grounded look at how to advocate for yourself, navigate difficult dynamics, and protect your peace without hurting your reputation. Let's talk about what pageantry should look like, where we can do better, and how you can stay empowered every step of the way.
