• Beauty Myths, Menopause and Creative Rebellion in the Spotlight: With Erika Heynatz

  Erika Heynatz has lived many lives on and off the stage. Model. Actor. Singer. Storyteller. In this conversation she opens the curtain on two decades shaped by impossible beauty standards and the constant work of being seen. Now, with her one woman cabaret Stupor Model, she holds the mirror up to the industry that created her. We explore how ageing sharpens self worth, why vulnerability creates a deeper kind of power, and how women can reclaim their desirability on their own terms. Erika speaks candidly about creative reinvention, the pull between visibility and privacy, the joy of performance, and the freedom that comes with embracing menopause rather than fearing it. This episode is a study in female myth making, the male gaze, and what happens when a woman finally tells her own story. Key Takeaways Erika’s journey shows how deeply the beauty myth shapes identity.• Ageing can reveal a richer, more grounded sense of self.• Vulnerability is not weakness. It is an artistic and personal strength.• Conversations about beauty and self worth must start in our homes.• The male gaze influences how many women are taught to see themselves.• Female friendships become stronger through shared life stages.• Menopause is universal and deserves celebration, not silence.• Beauty standards shift with culture, media and technology.• The real superpower is a woman’s unique voice, not her perfection.

  In this episode I sit down with renowned holistic facialist and dermal therapist April Brodie, fresh from her deep plane facelift in Seoul, to talk about what really sits behind the global obsession with K Beauty.

  Carlii Lyon has spent more than two decades helping extraordinary people shape their stories, from supermodels and global entrepreneurs to bestselling authors and spiritual leaders. As a publicist, she built reputations that captured the world’s attention, but over time her work shifted from curating others’ narratives to reclaiming her own. Her book Courage to Be – Small Steps for a Big Life is part memoir, part manifesto, exploring the quiet but profound acts of courage that redefine our lives. Through honest storytelling, Carlii invites readers to embrace visibility, imperfection and the liberation that comes with speaking our truth. This conversation is both professional and deeply personal. Carlii and I have known each other for nearly twenty years, through motherhood, reinvention and the ever-evolving landscape of womanhood. She introduced me to Dr John Demartini and Miranda Kerr when her career as a powerhouse publicist was in full swing.
