Join our host senior style icon and former mental health professional Theodora Krochman, and entrepreneur and documentarian Melissa Pierce as they interview another remarkable woman defying age-based expectations in the fashion world.In Episode 5, Teddi and Melissa welcome Dr. Astrid Palca, a German physician who launched her modeling career in her late 40s and has since graced the covers of Harper's Bazaar US, GQ, and Forbes Canada. Born in Berlin and now based in Switzerland, Dr. Palca brings a unique perspective as both a medical professional and a fashion figure, challenging traditional narratives about age and beauty in the modeling industry.The conversation explores how a corporate video unexpectedly launched her modeling career, leading to a substantial Instagram following and multiple magazine covers - achievements that are remarkably rare for women over 40 in the fashion industry. Dr. Palca shares her refreshing philosophy about modeling as "a celebration of all of the layers of her personality," offering insights into how professional women can embrace multiple identities without compromising their core values. The discussion naturally flows into a broader conversation about how the podcast consistently features extraordinary women over 40, suggesting that perhaps it's not these women who are rare, but rather the platforms that celebrate them.Follow Teddi, Melissa, and the show on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@teddilovesfashion⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@the.melissa.fierce⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@getdressedfordinner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Astrid ⁠@astridpalca⁠
