Early life and background of Emily Skye
Emily grew up with her mother and sister because their father left when she was just 2 years old. She wasn't really passionate about anything specific when she was younger, always looking for some purpose. When she was a beautiful teenager, she signed a contract with a modelling agency and started her career as a model. She did good and appeared on the covers of popular Australian magazines. However, she still felt insecure in her own body.
Although she was a successful model with an athletic figure, she was unhealthy and unhappy at the same time. She focused on looking perfect every day but forgot about her mental health. Living with unhealthy routines showed in her mental health, as she started to feel anxious and depressed. She wanted to change something, so she quit modelling and decided to go to the gym. Emily was focused on a healthy diet and exercising because she read that it may help her with her mental health.
Within the first few months, Emily focused strictly on cardio because she was afraid of looking too masculine. She got into modelling again, but it was fitness modelling this time. She competed in CoverGirl's Australian Oxygen Magazine competition and made it to the first 5. Although she focused on the competition, she looked over the magazine and saw there all the benefits of physical training. After that, she focused on strengthening her body and became a personal trainer. Not only her body but also her mental health noticeably improved.
