EPISODE 4:One of the deepest conversations Unsugarcoated podcast has had yet—Aalia and Alexandra bring in Jennifer Gimenez to talk about modeling and selling sex through pictures at only 14 years old, escaping traumas through alcohol and drugs, the “alcohol gene”, the impact body dysmorphia has on self-esteem, the importance of friendships in recovery and happiness, and finding love after 40. Jennifer also talks about the absence of PURPOSE and CONNECTION being the reason behind why many of us choose to sedate ourselves and how to finally change that to make your mark in the world — no matter how old you are or the life you’ve lived.



Actress, model, reality star and now one of the nation’s leading advocates on addiction recovery, Jennifer Gimenez was discovered at the tender age of 13. Quickly ascending to international stardom appearing on 100's of magazine covers such as Vogue, Bazaar, Marie Claire, and youngest model ever to appear on the cover of American Elle, Gimenez has also appeared in movies Blow, Vanilla Sky, Corky Romano, and Charlie's Angels.



Unprepared for the trappings of Hollywood fame, Gimenez found herself at the mercy of her own drug & alcohol demons. After her recovery she starred on VH1's hit Sober House Seasons 1 & 2, Celebrity Rehab Season 5, Rehab With Dr.Drew Season 6. Now 13 years sober, Gimenez uses her story to help others battling addiction, eating disorders, mental illness, and spreads her message of hope and recovery as well as fighting to break the stigma surrounding addiction. In January 2019 Gimenez was highlighted on the cover of Recovery Today Magazine and recently presented her first TEDx Talk.
