Ageism and amazing confidence as you get older with top curve model Rachel Peru

"You are too old for this, put it away"…

This week I am joined by very successful and very beautiful 52 year old silver haired curve model Rachel Peru. Rachel recently posted a reel on her Instagram (see reel here) of her wearing a tailored blazer with a bralette underneath. This post got lots and lots of positive comments but it also attracted a lot of negative comments like "tell nanna to take her medication" (from a man) and lots of "you are too old for this, put it away" (from women). The comments were worse on Facebook which is interesting...

Tune in to hear our chat about how this felt for Rachel and why we think this happens. Why don't women support women and why do the media still tell women over 40 not to wear certain things and blend into the background? 😤 Getting older can be the best time in your life in so many ways and feeling confident in your outfits is one of them. Hopefully as we get older we get more into our vibe and know ourselves a lot better, it's a shame the trolls don't feel the same.
