EP 13: ‘FINDING YOUR MISSION THROUGH MISFORTUNE’. Mel Brady (Stylist / Model / Embrace-Age Activist)

The Creative Coach with Dan Brophy

For as long as I’ve known her, Mel Brady has been a stylist. However in the last couple of years, she has made the transition to model. And while this doesn’t sound too unusual in this, the era of ‘the slashie’, what is unique about this situation is that Mel is her mid-fifties… which has then meant she has added another slash to her career catchphrase: activist.

Because, I found out, being a women in your fifties who decides not to fade into sexless oblivion IS is act of social rebellion - particularly, it would seem, in the eyes of the media.

And thus the Embrace Age movement was born, in which Mel has rallied women from around the world to share their ideas of just how they choose to see themselves through the media.

I wanted to talk to Mel about the growing popularity of this grey-roots movement - and the career in styling and image-making that got her to this place of proudly authoring her own content.

This is a great episode for anyone who is looking to use their skills to forge not only a career - but a path towards the change they want to see in the world.
