Show Notes

This conversation is one of my favorites on the show if I had to pick one. As I get closer to the age of 40 in a few years I have started to look at life differently, but what about my body? What changes will it go through? Have you ever been there? We hear all the things that 40 is the new 20 or perimenopause will be dreadful, but what if we can go into our 40s with confidence. If you are already 40, are you confident enough to model lingerie? Today’s guest Rachel Peru  a Body Confidence Activist and Host of "Out Of The Bubble Podcast", found that confidence and is now a signed model and confident after the age of  40. 

Body confidence is something as a mom we have ups and downs with, especially with the added pressure of the snap back post partum body or the scars and tiger stripes left behind after we brought life into the world, but what if, just what if, we no longer had to think about this? On this episode I am joined by Rachel Peru who calls herself a silver hair model and host on “Out of The Bubble'' podcast and we dive into Body confidence after 40.  Rachel broke barriers when she appeared in a ground-breaking Swimsuits for All campaign with Ashley Graham, and her career was launched from there.

"I love being able to represent older women in the fashion industry and have worked with some amazing people and brands including JDWilliams, F&F Clothing with Davina McCall and alongside my body confidence icon Ashley Graham for Swimsuits for All. My favourite shoots are always swimwear and lingerie and now I’m 50 I feel like I’m just getting started."
