In this special episode of A Cozy Space with Tatiana Elizabeth, I sit down with the radiant Eva Apio, philanthropist, model, and muse—to talk about everything from our friendship faith and fashion to softness and self-worth.

Eva opens up about navigating the fashion industry as a woman of African descent, how she protects her peace in high-pressure spaces, and what choosing herself has looked like in every chapter. We talk sisterhood, spiritual grounding, her evolving relationship with beauty, and the legacy she’s building beyond modeling.

This week on A Cozy Space, I’m joined by two powerhouse women: Melissa Simone, the designer behind her namesake swimwear brand, and Chrysty Gaither, a top-tier Los Angeles realtor selling multi-million dollar homes. We talk all things motherhood, the behind-the-scenes of building successful businesses, and how we juggle it all with grace (and a little chaos). It’s an honest, inspiring, and heartwarming conversation you don’t want to miss.
