About this listen

In My Shell is about growth — the quiet kind that happens when we start asking honest questions. Host Ludovica Ballou talks with creators, dreamers, and community voices about creativity, change, and the courage it takes to be seen. Through raw, meaningful conversations, the podcast reminds us that coming out of your shell isn’t about reinventing yourself — it’s about returning to who you’ve always been.Ludovica Ballou

  • Behind the Image: A Model's Perspective
    Jan 31 2026

    This week, I sit down with Emma Burg for a special bonus episode of In My Shell, closing out the month with an extra conversation. We talk about how modeling first entered her life, what the industry has taught her, and her experience working internationally, including Milan Fashion Week.

    Emma shares the moments that challenged her most, the growth that came with them, and what life is really like behind the scenes of creating the ‘perfect’ image.
