Siera Bearchell is a mom, wife, creator, law graduate and she also happens to be Miss Universe Canada 2016.

This title led her to the world stage in the Philippines at the Miss Universe competition, but Siera almost didn’t go. In this episode, we get the full scoop on Siera's pageant journey and the behind-the-scenes things like the Filipino paparazzi, meeting Ashley Graham, and more.

Although she placed in the top 9 (first Canadian in a decade!), she faced a ton of body shaming and negativity. Siera turned this experience around and built it into a platform as a body-positive activist who is recognized internationally.

This week we dive into her journey and learn all about pageants.
