Model and content creator Rachel Peru on finding confidence and a creative spark later in life.Despite facing a lack of belief from educators, Rachel’s early experiences in drama studies and theatre laid a foundation for her creative spirit, which would be reignited much later after significant life changes, including a divorce. From participating in local charity fashion shows to  signing with a London agency, Rachel’s modelling career took off in ways she never expected, allowing her to embrace creative opportunities she once thought were behind her. In our conversation, Rachel sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of being a model in today’s industry, particularly as a woman over 40. She shares anecdotes from her diverse experiences, including a memorable gig in the Bahamas with Lizzo and Ashley Graham, which not only marked a significant career milestone but also served as a source of inspiration for women striving for body positivity. Through her modelling work, Rachel has become an advocate for inclusivity and representation, challenging ageism and stereotypes in the fashion industry. Buy Me a CoffeeCreativityFound.co.ukInstagram: @creativityfoundpodcastThreads: @creativityfoundpodcastFacebook: @creativityfoundpodcast and Creativity Found groupYouTube @creativityfoundpodcastResearched, edited and produced by Claire Waite BrownMusic: Day Trips by Ketsa Undercover / Ketsa Creative Commons License Free Music Archive - Ketsa - Day TripsArtworks: Emily Portnoi emilyportnoi.co.ukPhoto: Ella PalletDownload Fire From the Earth from Liminal Coaching here.
