In this episode of Stories of Hope: Worldwide, I have the absolute pleasure of speaking with the beautiful Isabelle Kratz — a 19-year-old international model, entrepreneur, and such an inspiring young woman.

When I first saw Isabelle’s story, I knew I had to invite her onto the podcast as a 19-year-old international model, entrepreneur, and such an inspiring young woman. At just 13 years old, she was walking at New York Fashion Week and stepping into opportunities many people only dream of. But behind what looked like success from the outside, Isabelle was also walking through some incredibly painful chapters.

In this conversation, Isabelle opens up about the bullying she experienced through school — physically, emotionally, and mentally — and how it became so unsafe that she eventually had to leave and move into homeschooling. She also shares about being diagnosed with endometriosis after years of pain and the deep relief of finally being believed.

What really touched my heart in this conversation is that Isabelle has not allowed those painful experiences to define her in a negative way. Instead, she has turned them into purpose.

Isabelle speaks with so much wisdom about finding your people, protecting your peace, putting the phone down, journaling, creating healthy self-care strategies, and learning to believe in yourself again. She reminds us that you are allowed to take up space, you are allowed to grow, and you are allowed to become the person nobody thought you could be.
