Lessons Learned Along my Journey to Becoming an Angel

Written by Josephine Skriver on Thu May 30 2024

Hey loves,

Today I wanted to take a moment to reflect on my journey towards becoming a Victoria's Secret Angel. It has been an incredible ride filled with ups and downs, challenges and triumphs. Along the way, I have learned so much about myself, about the industry, and about what it truly means to be confident in your own skin.

When I first started out as a model, I never could have imagined that one day I would be walking down the runway for one of the most iconic lingerie brands in the world. It was a dream that seemed almost unattainable at times. But through hard work, dedication, and unwavering belief in myself, I made it happen.

One of the biggest lessons I've learned is that confidence is key. In an industry where you are constantly being judged based on your looks and body shape, it can be easy to let self-doubt creep in. But learning to love and embrace every part of myself has been empowering beyond measure.

Another important lesson has been perseverance. Rejection is just par for the course in this line of work - there were countless auditions where I was told "no," but instead of letting it defeat me,I used those moments as fuel to keep pushing forward until eventually hearing "yes."

I've also come to understand the importance of surrounding yourself with positive influences who support you no matter what.It's easy to get caught up in comparisons or competition with other models,but ultimately we're all on our own unique paths,and lifting each other up only makes us stronger together.

And lastly,I've learned not take things too seriously.Having fun,enjoying each moment,and staying true oneself are essential ingredients for success.Nothing beats feeling comfortable expressing yourself authentically without worrying how others perceive you.So whether strutting down runways or posing for photoshoots,I always remember stay true Josephine Skriver,no matter happens around me.

So here's cheers more life experiences ahead-and another beautiful chapter unfolding.Thankful everyday opportunity share story inspire others along way.

Remember babes,you’re worth celebrating! Keep shining bright like angel wings.

Xoxo, Josephine
