Jen Bowers (01:32.311)
Thank you for having me here. I'm so excited to chat with you today.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (01:32.365)
Okay.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (01:36.577)
Yeah, no, absolutely thrilled. Jen, I know your story and it absolutely moved me the first time I heard it. So I would love for you to share a little bit with my listeners around your background and journey. Cause I really feel that it resonates with so many people out there. So maybe if we start there.
Jen Bowers (02:01.198)
Absolutely. Where would you like me to start? So for many, many years, like literally since I guess the day I was born, I was labeled big. You know, my dear mum, bless her, you know, and mum is now gone and I miss her every day. She was my biggest cheerleader, but she was a teeny tiny ballerina. And she went into the hospital.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (02:04.097)
Ha ha.
Jen Bowers (02:29.906)
at 51 kilos, weighing 51 kilos. I came out at four and a bit kilos. So you know what, I was like nearly 10% of her body weight. So I was the little mother with the big baby. You know, and it was always, I was, because I was so different, I think, you know, to her. And so it was always labeled kind of big. And so, Jennifer, you should wear...
um you should wear black because you know it's so flattering and I am look I'm plus size no doubt about it I was big the day I was born I'm still big now but you know I always say I can't shrink my bones um either because I have a very broad frame but it was yes you should wear black so you know as life went on I tried to conform to who I thought I should be um bring in a narcissistic ex-husband
who takes tearing down people to the whole next level. You know, by the time I, or he actually left that marriage, I was pretty broken and I had no self-esteem, no love for myself, only actual hate. And I was truly broken. And, you know, I move on to something that's a slightly different story, but still also super empowering, I think.
And lots to do. It's funny, I just did, at the time, it was just like I was just doing what I had to do. But, you know, it turns out that was not the normal thing. So at that time when he left, I really wasn't working because I hadn't needed to. And I was left with my mum who lived with us, my daughter and our cats, because I am a crazy cat lady. Those that follow me, you know, and hopefully I might see some of you lovely ladies.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (03:57.917)
Mm.
Jen Bowers (04:21.058)
on my Instagram. Those that follow me know I'm a crazy cat lady. But anyway, I thought what am I gonna do? You know, where do I go? What do I do? And so I decided that it was going to be easier to build a business than move house. So I said to my ex, I think I might buy you out of our home. And he looked at me and he laughed.
And he said, you'll never be able to do that. I went, mm-hmm, right. Meedy, you just watch me. And 12 months later, I did buy him out with the biggest mortgage that my mortgage broker had ever got for a single woman. And that was this catalyst in my life that I realized we as women can actually do whatever we want. You know, we are strong, we are amazing, we are phenomenal. And when we put our minds to something, we can do the thing. Life went on. I...
I met a truly amazing man. I am remarried. I have a wonderful, wonderful second husband that supports me in everything that I do. And he tells me every day, I love you. You're beautiful. You're amazing. But you know something, if you don't believe it, it's really irrelevant what anyone else tells you because you don't listen. So, you know, time went on and I was still there trying to be who I thought I should be. Should is a word that's actually kind of
banned from my vocabulary, but I'm using it here today because it's pertinent to the conversation. I feel we should stop shooting all over ourselves just quietly. But yeah, moving on, thinking and being who I thought I should be, I was working in corporate. So I was a designer, brand designer in a corporate company trying to fit in, trying to be invisible and stay hidden because...
you know, I was too scared to stand out because my ex-husband used to say to me things like, you know, you used to be so pretty before you got so fat and ugly. Nobody actually likes you, they just tolerate you. Nobody really wants to be around you. You're a crap mother, like all of the things. And you know what? We take all this on board and we keep it. It's suggestive language and you know that's why with my darling mum, you know, who as I said, I have no malice to her because it was
Jen Bowers (06:45.35)
it was a like she was doing what she thought was the right thing you know she was a lady she had me it was you know big fairly flamboyant as a young person um you know i was very different and then the ex that just was wanted to be mean i guess um so yeah i was trying to um fit in and then i was actually made redundant uh in 2020 at the age of 52.
And I was devastated. I was, this is the end. What am I going to do? You know, nobody, nobody's going to want a 52 year old designer. It's all about me. I'm not, I'm not good. I'm not enough. I am, you know, that, that's why I was like, the fact of the matter is they literally just wanted to take it offshore. And it was not a decision that was made by Australia. It was a decision that was made in Switzerland. It was a global company. But that was the beginning of my life as it is now.
And I now look back and I am so incredibly grateful that I was made redundant. I call it my rebirth day, because as I moved forward into my new life, I just realized that I'd spent far too much time trying to be somebody that I simply wasn't. And I'll read you my favorite quote. Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything, maybe it's about unbecoming everything that really isn't you. So you can be who you're meant to be in the first place.
And I now am who I was meant to be in the first place. So, yeah. And I'm so, I've got pink hair. I'm nearly, I'm heading towards 56 now. I've got pink hair. I wear lots of color, pink glasses. I embrace color. I dance in public. I just live my best life. And for any of you that are listening out there that are in the phase of midlife, trust me.
It's the best time ever. I better stop talking. I feel like I just went.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (08:44.553)
I love that, Jen. Thank you. No, thank you, Jen. There are so many pivotal moments of what I would describe. It's like micro transformations that have actually occurred through your journey. And I think that's what really resonated with me when I heard some of your story. And for those, you know, I work with a lot of women
Jen Bowers (08:59.65)
Yes.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (09:14.327)
transition their brand, you know, really update this stuff because of certain triggers that have happened. You know, yes, it might be positive things like there's a promotion or that type of thing, but they actually are still trying to find out who they are. And so if I take you back to those corporate days where, you know, and for the listeners, you know, I've seen photos of what Jen was like back then. And if I compare to how she is today, it is literally like seeing two
different people. So I'm keen to understand when you sort of were in that environment, you know, what looking back and reflecting on it now, what do you think were some of the things that maybe you recognise now that you should maybe could have done differently? Or you would have said to that, you know, younger self back then?
Jen Bowers (10:10.49)
I honestly would have said just be, be who you are, be who you're meant to be. Because, you know, we, we spend so much time trying to fit in. And I might, I might add my corporate job was they were a great company. You know, it was not unpleasant to work there. It was actually a really good company. They were very caring. They were very, very much about, you know, the, the staff being happy, et cetera. But it just probably was a place I shouldn't have been. Um, but I like.
I loved it at the time and towards the end I was like, oh, there's gotta be more. But the thing is, and this is what so many of us do, we try to fit in, we don't wanna stand out. We don't necessarily want our voice to be heard because that will bring attention to us. Now, the thing is, when we're a personal brand, I'm a very personal brand, my business is pretty much me, we need to stand out. We need to be noticed.
And that's the same in corporate. I, I now look back and think, damn, if I'd have pushed, you know, at the time in the seven years that I was there, I could have done things differently in that company. There was a lot of suggestions I had, but I just sat back and did the job because I didn't want to stand out. So, you know, therefore it was interesting because I, my clothing was very corporate. It was very, a lot of black. Um, and just towards the end of it.
I started, I think at the beginning of 2024, sorry, 2020, that's when I dyed my hair pink, but I still wore black. And not long before, I'm just trying to think back, you know, I went to a party and I wore a really bright dress and that was, oh, that might've been 2019. So I was just beginning to break out. And then occasionally I would wear them to the office and it'd be like, woo, look at you.
And it was like, well, you know, I am the designer. I feel like I get, I get, you know, dispensation to wear something a bit different. Um, but yeah, and then, but then when I was made redundant and found out my brand personality, now, you know, you know, your brand personality, Sonia, it gives you permission to step into who you really are. I find like as a business, but for me, everybody that is in a corporate job as well is a personal brand.
Jen Bowers (12:33.462)
because we're all promoting ourselves. So, you know, my advice would be don't just sit back and let people talk over you and let, like remain invisible. Put yourself out there. Create that style, you know, that standout style.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (12:36.081)
Mm.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (12:48.473)
Yeah, definitely.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (12:52.673)
Yeah, and that standout style, that's you, right? And for some, you know, it might be bright and bold colours and for some it might be there's a signature piece, there's something there that really represents who you are and the voice that you want to be heard around as well.
Jen Bowers (12:57.102)
Peace!
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (13:10.781)
So tell me when you've moved then into sort of the entrepreneurial space and you finally, you really embraced who you were and you know, really the color, you know, I see that with the colors and everything, it really is this holistic combination of your inside matching your outside, right, which is something I talk about a lot.
Jen Bowers (13:35.627)
Yeah.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (13:37.085)
What would you say really changed for you at that pivotal moment of starting to own that?
Jen Bowers (13:47.63)
Do you know what the most fascinating thing was? Is I would go out and just be out and about, you know, feeling very self-conscious in the color because as a plus size lady, we are often told, you know, we should wear black, but I would feel a bit self-conscious. But I'm like, no, I'm going to be brave. I love this. People would come up and compliment me. And people would come and say, you, you're so bright. You look so happy. You're making me happy. Like, oh.
Oh, that's the, you know, I would be like, thank you so much, that's so nice. And then I kind of realized that also by being happy and being confident within myself to wear the color, I was actually making other people happy, which sounds really bizarre, but I get so many compliments on the color. And I think people see somebody that wears a lot of bright colors and kind of, it inspires them perhaps to think differently and...
to maybe go home and have a look at their wardrobe and go, oh, maybe I could wear that color. Even though I'm, even if I'm like, if they're plus size, like maybe I can go home and bring some color into my wardrobe. And yeah, I think that when that started, that made me kind of really begin to like myself again. I hated myself for many years. You've heard the story where I would not, I didn't get in a swimsuit for 15 years. I just couldn't. I thought I was too fat to get into a swimsuit.
And then I did and it was like, oh, I've missed out on all this time. And, you know, whilst I'm still a bit self-conscious, you know, the times have changed for me getting in the pool up at early beach with Tracy and Carl, with the group of girls to, um, go to Bali to actually in the March that next year, getting on a boat in Hawaii in a, my swimsuit, standing in a queue of people feeling super vulnerable and very, very self-conscious to look around, go, uh, actually, nobody's looking at you.
because I wanted to dive with the turtles and I was like I'm not going to miss out on this opportunity this could be a once in a lifetime thing for me to do and I'm going to get in that queue and actually it's really funny my husband was taking some video as I got out of the water I'm like I did it you know because he supports me in everything you know every way he can everything I do but I was so pleased and the thing is for me now I set myself these challenges and I still do this you know four
Jen Bowers (16:12.362)
I set the challenges if I'm gonna be uncomfortable with something, it means that I probably should do it. I mean, let's not anything terrible, but you know, like if standing up and talking in front of a crowd of women, something like that, it's like, if it makes me feel scared inside, I'm like, okay, I need to do that. So those are, there's so many pivotal things. But I think honestly, going out, walking around and people saying, oh my gosh, I love all your color, you look amazing. Thank you, you've made me feel really happy. I'm like, oh.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (16:29.609)
Mm.
Jen Bowers (16:42.998)
So it's not just me, I'm affecting other people as well.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (16:47.113)
And I think sometimes what we find is when you've stepped into that of owning who you are and then finally experiencing new things, we find it difficult to then accept compliments when they come along.
Jen Bowers (17:03.119)
Oh, never accepted them.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (17:06.645)
I think it's also part of sort of, you know, innately many of us through the DNA will just, oh no, you know, it's not really or you won't accept that. So going from a space where you hadn't maybe received as much all this positive reinforcement again would have been another learning journey for you to get to the point where you can actually accept it and it's okay to do that.
Jen Bowers (17:07.477)
Never.
Jen Bowers (17:35.842)
Yeah, I'm very accepting of it now. And it's just, I'll never forget, you know, I tell a little story. Um, cause this, like, I actually, you know, I'm a keynote speaker about this journey. And I tell this little story that I was at a shop. Um, I was in Kmart one day and I was standing in the queue and I'm a bit of a handbag freak. I have a lot of handbags. Um, and I have some very cool handbags and there is a particular brand that I get sent from the UK called Vendula and they are cute as buttons. And.
This was a little cat cafe and I had the handbag and I saw these little girls whispering. I mean, whispering and looking at me. First thing I thought was they're talking about me in a bad way. And I said, you know, and I mean, I have like, I have a podcast, you know, call bring back your pink for empowering women. I said to the girls, it's not nice to whisper and stare. And they said, we just really liked your handbag. And I felt so mortified and I was so upset.
that I had crushed these little girls by being a bit mean. But it was my problem. You know, it was me thinking they were talking about me and not a nice way. I was very apologetic. I went up to the mum. I said, I'm so sorry. This is my problem. You know, please like, yeah. It was awful. To then about 12 months later, I was out with my best friend and my daughter. And Leanne said, everybody's looking at us. And I'm like, yeah, they're probably just looking at me. And because I was out, I was in all the color.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (18:40.982)
Mm-mm. Yeah.
Jen Bowers (19:03.79)
I had, you know, I had a really bright dress on. I had, you know, like kicks, like sneakers, you know, high tops that were metallic with rainbows on them. I had great big Christmas earrings on. I was all in all the color, pink hair. And I went, oh, they're just looking at me. And it was like, whoa, that's such a difference to be, to be going from that, like, don't look at me, to they're just looking at me and not caring.
I didn't care what they thought either. Like they might've been going, oh my God, look at her. She shouldn't be wearing that. She's too big. To others going, wow, I wish I could wear that. I wish I was brave enough to wear that. To the people that did come up on the day and compliment the colors. So, you know, even the girls in Chanel, I was in Chanel, they're like, oh my God, I love all the color.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (19:53.701)
Yeah, it's normally in there, it's honed down black, black and white.
Jen Bowers (19:54.268)
So...
Yeah, absolutely. So, sorry go on.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (20:00.197)
So can you recall like, sorry, you go. No, you don't.
Jen Bowers (20:04.842)
No, no, I wasn't, I don't really have anything to say.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (20:09.047)
So can you recall, you know, is there a specific outfit as you think back over your career journey that you've gone through? And like I said, I see it in sort of two components there. But as you've gone through, can you think about a memorable outfit that you'd worn that either brought you joy or you remember?
actually, you know what, I remember that outfit because it brought out some raw feelings for you.
Jen Bowers (20:38.85)
Absolutely. So the first bright colored dress I ever bought was from a brand called Little Party Dress. And you know, they have, it's fast fashion, there's no doubt about it, but they have the most amazing patterns. And I saw this dress and I thought, I think one, you know, as a designer, I'm quite, what would the word be, pedantic about the styles I put on because I do know how my figure looks.
I do know what my, you know, the best shape for me, et cetera. And I looked at this dress and went, yeah, I think that, because, you know, I have a waist and it was in the waist, I think that dress would look good. Oh my God, look at the colors. You know what, get the dress. And so I bought it at a ride and went, oh my golly gosh, look at this. Anyway, I wore it to my stepson and step baby shower. And I'll never forget it. And I felt so brave.
I also felt super self-conscious, but I felt brave. And, you know, I don't think anyone complimented me on that day, but I still felt, David probably did, cause he always does, but I still felt really like, I felt like, look at me, you know, I feel, and I felt very me. And I'll never forget wearing that dress. And I'm eternally grateful to Little Party Dress, because I do believe that they, you know, that, that brand was the brand that really helped me step out of my comfort zone.
and into wearing the color. I have, I can't count how many of the dresses I have. And then I, another story, I think you've seen my flamingo coat from that new label in Melbourne. I got a custom jacket made. It's a festival jacket and I'm like, ah you know, am I too old for this? I'm like no, no. I got back from overseas and it arrived
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (22:05.861)
Hmm.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (22:16.115)
Yes.
Jen Bowers (22:31.438)
and I was going to see Lizzo with a young friend and I wasn't going to wear it. I went, no, it's too much. Then I went, hang on, Jen, this is what you teach your ladies. You teach them to be brave. You need to wear it. So I had a pink chill skirt on, I had a t-shirt from Confetti Rebels that said, not made to be subtle and my jacket. And I wore it. And again, the compliments that people were just like, oh my God.
that jacket. The jacket is amazing, I might add. And again, I thought, Jen, feel the fear and do it anyway. Because, you know, you're being who you were meant to be now. And you are bright and colourful. This is your brand and you can't let the fear of what others think hold you back from being who you're meant to be.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (23:29.045)
And so much, so much to unpack there, but I'm going to ask, I really see you as a leader for someone who, as you said, you know, at that pivotal moment of hitting, you know, 50, that you then went, you know what, I'm going to step out, I'm going to start my own business, I'm going to go after my, my dreams. And I really want to be able to touch on.
that moment of ownership, empowerment, that you had to be able to step up and do something that would have been scary at the time and, you know, step into that kind of world. And really, if you have a look now, fast forward down the track, you're really thriving in that space. What feelings came up for you to then make that kind of leap to go, you know what, I'm not going
to find another job or become another employer, I'm actually gonna try this on my own.
Jen Bowers (24:34.55)
So I had a side hustle at the time. And I was really lucky that I was already working with Tracy and Carl. And I was also working with another coach called Yvette Meyer. And they all encouraged me and said, Jen, you've got all these years of experiences. You need to do this for yourself. You don't need to be doing it for someone else. You need to do it for yourself. I was beginning to come out of the shell.
the brightness was coming and they were like, you need to do this. So I then decided, I'm gonna take a leap of faith in myself. And that's when I jumped in with Tina, Tina Tower into her group. And I met a lady there called Deb O'Connor, who's now a friend of mine and a mentor for me in branding. And she introduced me to the brand personalities. And then when I found out who I was,
the creator magician, it just, I don't know, everything suddenly became very clear that this was what I needed to do. This is the path I needed to go. And I invested in myself with Tina. I'm like, right, you've got to have the courage. It's all about, I feel like having the courage to get out of your comfort zone. I'm a Taurean. I live in my comfort zone. I much prefer to be in my comfort zone. I like it there. But if I didn't do that.
I wouldn't be here today living my best life. Like having a career, a business that I love having, oh my God, having two podcasts, like what the heck, how did that even happen? Um, being somebody that, you know, people listen to and, you know, take advice from and, and recognize like, you know, I'm, I was at a cat, um, a crazy cat lady. I was at the cat lover's show. Somebody came up to me and said, I know you, I listened to your podcast. I'm like, Oh my God.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (26:24.321)
Oh my gosh.
Jen Bowers (26:26.134)
how, how in this crowd of 25,000 people, you know, and, and that's the thing I now, I would have still been hidden and invisible and lying low. And now I'm just living, I am so grateful. I, every day I wake up with the gratitude that this is the life I now get to live. So yeah, it was just, you know, it, it involved me listening to people and not putting myself down and listening to what they were saying about me, that they said, Jen, you need to be doing this.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (26:44.565)
That's beautiful, yeah.
Jen Bowers (26:56.546)
look at all the experience you've got. You are brilliant at what you do. You need to do it. And instead of going, no, I said, okay, I'm in. It was terrifying. Still terrifying. But you know, I'm there and I'm loving it. You know, it took a lot to get over.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (27:05.541)
I love it.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (27:10.325)
And I think what's really important... Yeah, that's right, sorry, you go.
Jen Bowers (27:17.218)
I was, it took a lot to get over that negative beliefs, limiting beliefs, the self-sabotage, the mean girl, but you know, don't listen to them. They're not real. Sorry.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (27:31.001)
I think there's a delay. I love that so much because, you know, through this podcast journey, I'm trying to really showcase for my listeners the different avenues and the different opportunities there are, you know, and how your personal brand can play a role, but really innately understanding who you are internally and then which one of those paths is going to be the right path for you. And you know what, sometime
Jen Bowers (27:57.751)
Yeah.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (27:59.475)
to be all or nothing, right? We have the concept of a portfolio career and things like that. But I, you know, I love being able to hear that sort of journey you've also taken. So I've got three fast questions for you. One is, if you had to say what your signature style piece was, what would you say that is?
Jen Bowers (28:26.406)
So I'm gonna actually there's a couple probably handbags like bright colored handbags, you know, I love handbags I have you know, I have many I probably have 25 handbags Um, and I love them and they go from, you know, beautiful incredible valentino's Down to um, I don't know. You can't no you can't see my little car My little my little pink Cadillac handbag from Vendula that I adore. Um, and my flamingo coat My flamingo coat
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (28:53.917)
it. And if anyone wants to see pictures of those, I know if you have a look at Jane's Instagram, you'll be able to see some images there as well. Now, transformational read. So whether it's for those listeners looking for inspiration, either maybe what book maybe you're reading at the moment, or you might be listening to or something you have read that you might
Jen Bowers (28:55.934)
I love my filming, it's good.
Jen Bowers (29:03.113)
You'll be out of my head.
Definitely.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (29:21.581)
you know, that really made an impression on you.
Jen Bowers (29:26.082)
So I'm a big reader, but I tend to read fiction. However, I, and they're just right here because you can see these are books I listen, look at every day. Daily Mantras and The Magic of You. These are from Lisa, the collective hub, Lisa Messenger. And this little one is from Laura Jane Jones. And they're, this is a daily, the Daily Mantra books. So, you know, I look up every day and I often share them in my stories on Instagram as well.
And this is the most gorgeous little bright book of, you know, quotes. And I just look at it as like the universe loves you and needs you to learn to love yourself. So I'm very much about these little short books. I have a lot of beautiful, um, books out sitting by my reading chair that are, you know, the aspirational books and that, but I do love fiction. So I tend to stick with that, but these books, these little quick, yes, this is what you need today. Books are my go-to every day.
Sonya | Your Styled Collective (30:25.509)
I love that little injection of positivity. So, and then the final question is in terms of mindset rituals. So we all have those days when we need an extra boost, right? We've all been there. So is there something that you do outside of the quotes that helps you feel empowered every day?
Jen Bowers (30:29.034)
Yeah, yes.
Jen Bowers (30:52.014)
Oh, let me think... I would...
I go and look at my before and after photos.
And I look back at the before and I think this is never going to be me again. I never want to go back there. Um, I look at, you know, branding photos. I've had branding photos done when I was being somebody who I thought I should be as a brand strategist and I look at the photos now of me, that the photos I get when I do branding shoots and I compare them. Um, I have a couple of photos, um, that I look at when I was just all in black and just dead in my eyes.
And like, you got this girl, you got this, you know, you are being who you're meant to be right now. And you are living your best life. And you are so blessed to be doing that. And you know, sometimes like days are hard, you know, days are hard. Sometimes I get up and I'm like, you know, we were just talking about like, I've had to push a launch back, which I did not want to do. Because, you know, there's just things going on in my life that are out of my control. But it's like, no, you know, you got this. It's not
It's not the end. It's just, you're just moving something. So I look back at those photos and go, yeah, you know what? Never go back to that again. And never ever want to be that person again. I am who I'm meant to be right now. And I love it.

goosebumps and starting to get teary-eyed. So I'm gonna say thank you, Jen, that was incredible. Now, if people wanna find you, follow you, find out more about you, I will have a whole lot of details in the show notes, but do you wanna talk about some of the things that you offer?
Jen Bowers (32:21.425)
Thank you.
Jen Bowers (32:39.93)
sure well I have I have two well let's talk about branding I am a brand strategist I'm a brand foundations coach I love what I do I help women build a brand that will become a flamingo in a flock of seagulls to help them stand on their own two feet if life is not the fairy tale that we all wanted to be when we were little if I can rewrite my story so can anyone
And you know, that was started back, I guess, when, you know, my ex left and I realized that we as women can do whatever we want. Um, so I have courses, I work one on one. I'm just, I was saying to Sonia who I have actually worked with. She's one of my most amazing clients. Um, yeah, I have courses, I have one on one's of them at the Flamazing brand day, um, which I'm very excited about just coming up, but you can find me, um, and please slide into the DMS because I love the chat.
Um, over Instagram, excuse me. That's where I like to hang the most. Um, at the Jen B E brands. And just so you know, the B E is because I help women be who they were meant to be in the first place. But I also have a podcast called bring back your pink and that's my passion project and that's my, um, podcast for women in midlife. And we talk about everything over there. We talk about, you know, career reinventions. We talk about.
style, we talk about sex, we talk about all the things. So that's bring back your pink and I just will share with you because my business is based around both the Ambassador and flamingos, but did you know flamingos when they are parenting, when they are stressed, when they're not eating properly, when they're burnt out they fade and they lose their pink like I did. So I am out there to one show that you can get your pink back.
because I did, but to help other ladies get their pink back and live their most amazingly vibrant lives in middle life. So you can find me, Bring Back Your Pink on Instagram too.
