Episode 79
Wednesday, 21 January, 2026
Send us a textIn this deeply moving episode, I sat with Caroline Labouchere, a woman whose story challenges everything we’ve been taught about beauty, worth, and aging. Known today for redefining visibility as a silver-haired model who began her career at 54, Caroline shares the quieter, more vulnerable chapters that came long before the spotlight.We talk about growing up never feeling beautiful, being taught not to look in the mirror, and carrying feelings of insignificance well into adulthood. Caroline reflects on marriage, motherhood, reinvention, and the moment she finally stopped second-guessing herself. Together, we unpack the most damaging lies sold by the beauty industry, the pressure women place on themselves and each other, and why aging has become such a contested space for female worth.This conversation explores femininity, traditional and modern gender roles, raising empathetic sons, partnership, and why men and women don’t need to compete to be equal. Caroline speaks honestly about invisibility, responsibility, and the freedom that comes with choosing authenticity over expectation.At its heart, this episode is about being seen — by the world, by others, and most importantly, by yourself. A powerful listen for anyone navigating identity, self-worth, and what it truly means to grow older without shrinking.Tune in to They Say It Takes a Village on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.
