The Balance Theory

She Finally Stopped Fighting Ageing & Did THIS Instead — Here’s What Happened Next


Listen Later

In this empowering episode, Erika sits down with Luisa Dunn — a model, photographer, and advocate for age positivity— to explore why she stopped fighting the ageing process and embraced a new narrative around beauty, self-worth, and expression.


From the pressures of anti-ageing culture to the emotional and financial cost of “looking young,” Luisa shares her powerful journey of unlearning societal standards and reclaiming her identity. This episode will challenge everything you’ve been taught about ageing, especially if you’re in your 20s or 30s and already feeling the pressure to maintain your looks.
