Ep 4: Brains and Beauty: A Scientist turned model led her into the world of Advocacy Against Toxic Industry Stereotypes

Recently, I had the privilege of getting to know the lovely Amy Taylor, scientist turned model, pilot, Broadcaster, and all around Renaissance Woman!  

 In this episode, Amy discusses how she pivoted from careers in biotechnology and oil to modeling for some of the world’s top magazines.  She gets candid about appreciating the many stages of life - menopause and all - and encourages women of any age to ignore the naysayers, practice self-care, and indulge in life’s pleasures guilt free. 

Key Takeaways

• It's important to break away from societal expectations and pursue your passions.
• Self-confidence is key in overcoming judgment and pursuing your dreams.
• Menopause can be a positive and liberating stage of life for women.
• Trust your inner voice and live authentically, ignoring societal pressures.
• Live freely and make a positive impact on humanity.
