Mallory Hagan: Navigating Imposter Syndrome, Standing Up for Yourself, & Grown Women in Cheerleading Outfits

Maggie sits down with Miss America 2013 Mallory Hagan where they dive into all things imposter syndrome, navigating life after pageants, dismantling corrupt systems, and the age-old question: why are grown women still parading around in two-piece sets during lifestyle & fitness? Described as a “Real Life Bold Type” by NowThis News, Mallory Hagan embodies the phrase.   A southern woman with New York grit, Mallory has traveled the nation bringing attention to countless issues facing Americans, from child sexual abuse to income inequality.  Mallory’s dedication to community led to a run for the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, where she increased voter turnout and boosted faith in Alabama politics.  Since then, Mallory has continued working on issues that matter. In 2020, she served as the Alabama Communications Director for the Bloomberg for President Campaign, and in 2022, she ran for Alabama State House District 25. Now, she is a Business Consultant with Sysco and advocates for women in political spaces. You can find Mallory on Instagram @itsmalloryhagan and at her website: itsmalloryhagan.com.
