What does the color nude really look like? Who's skin tone does it actually match? My guest this week was fired from a commercial job when she was unable to find bras to match the skin tones of all the talent on set. She saw a need and had one simple question... why aren't all women represented? And the idea for Naked Rebellion was born!

Jessica got her start making costumes for a small youth theatre in Arizona when she was 16.  A few years later, she moved to LA to attend fashion school and has been working steadily in film/tv ever since. Starting out as an assistant costume designer, she quickly progressed to costume designer for films and tv. Projects have taken her to Seattle, New Orleans, New Mexico, Texas and Washington DC. 

Jessica has been in both the Costume Designers Guild and the Costumers Union for over a decade. Her work can also be seen on screens, in print, as well as digitally and she considers herself extremely lucky to be a part of the House Of Cards team that has received an Emmy Nomination and back to back Costume Designers Guild Award Nominations.  Jessicas tenure in the film industry opened her eyes to just how terribly exclusive the fashion industry was. She was appalled at lack of representation of all women in products, advertisements, choices- so she new she could do better. With the help of a local fashion incubator in Arizona, Jessica was able to launch Naked Rebellion in six short months. Naked Rebellion is an inclusive lingerie line with 9 shades of nude- a nude shade for EVERY woman on earth.

In this episode we talk about:
[1:44] First time she remembers feeling sexy
[6:18] How the idea for Naked Rebellion was born
[9:39] How working on Dancing With the Stars gave her the missing puzzle piece to producing lingerie
[14:54] How she learned to pivot and contribute to the healthcare community in 2020
[24:15] Being mindful in choosing the women who represent the brand and having inclusive messaging
[27:47] SEXY
[37:49] What sexy means to her now
[38:24] How your clothing plays a role in feeling sexy
[44:18] Where to follow Jessica and Naked Rebellion

In this episode, I am going to finish breaking down the SEXY acronym that I use on this podcast. If you’re not familiar with the SEXY acronym, it’s something I talk with each guest about on the show. SEXY stands for Satisfy, Ego, X-ternal Opinions, and Yearn, and they are 4 areas that I believe you really need to get clear on in order to feel the sexiest you possibly can in your own skin. And often, when working on any goal in your life, it most likely will fit into one of these 4 categories. 

So for this episode, I am going to break down the X and the Y: X-ternal Opinions and Yearn. And we’re going to dive into each part so I can explain why each of these areas have such a huge impact on us in our day to day life.

Do you want to feel sexier in your own skin? I share the MOST important skill to master when dealing with x-ternal opinions, and 3 reasons why focusing on what you yearn for is so important.

This week’s podcast episode is a very special one. This week marks one year since I launched this podcast. And what a year it has been! I have had so many incredible guests on the show and have had the opportunity to connect with so many women and share their stories about finding their own sexy. But hearing how you all connect to these women and relate to parts of their story is truly my favorite part of having this show.

If there is a woman who’s story you would love to hear, or a woman you know and feel their story should be shared, please reach out to me and let me know. And I will make every effort I can to have them on the podcast. You can send me a message on instagram @kelcyvalletta or email me [email protected] 

In this episode I talk about:

• Why the month of November is so special for me!
• How following through on one goal will make space for you to achieve others
• Erasing narratives that we have bought into and challenging limiting beliefs
• What does SEXY really mean to you? How do you define it for yourself?
