Modesty And The History Of Bikinis w/Jessica Rey | Lila Rose Podcast E143

Did you know models refused to wear bikinis in the 1950s because they were so scandalous?

On today's episode of the podcast I talk with former Hollywood star Jessica Rey about all things modesty! After a life-changing experience in Rome, Jessica went from a lifestyle of partying and immodesty to a path of holiness, advocating for modesty and launching a swimwear brand.

We discuss why models once refused to wear bikinis, a fresh approach to virtue and modesty, and how modesty allows you to uniquely express your style and beauty.
