FRANZMAGAZINE: Just looking good was always too little for me

For decades, I have worked with great dedication and commitment in training and coaching to support people in their self-development - but what kind of leverage was it to appear on a show like this, to reach so many people and to inspire them to take action. I have noticed that many sustainable fashion brands communicate in far too elitist a way and are far too exclusive. The masses are not bad or stupid, but most of them prefer lightness or are afraid of damaging themselves and their own lifestyle by making big changes. I am aware of this, which is why my project is simply an offer to take the next possible step. Many small steps taken by many people take us a long way. That's what I want to show.

An absolutely unembellished interview about my commitment and what I hope to achieve with it. It's not much, but if you want to shape your own life in a meaningful way, it's enough to take a small step in the right direction.

At the invitation of Estée Lauder Germany, I kicked off April with a wonderful event in Paris. To mark the return of supermodel Paulina Porizkova as the face of the brand and her upcoming 60th birthday, there was a sumptuous gala dinner, followed the next day by an inspiring exchange with the birthday girl and Aerin Lauder.

The participants came from all over Europe - businesswomen and the most successful best ager models that many of us know from advertising and magazines.

A very empowering experience and, for me, a conscious decision for luxury that is not an everyday occurrence.

Live podcast and panel talk about my life, charisma, self-confidence and modeling

On the occasion of International Women's Day, I was invited by the Upper Austrian News in Linz. On the one hand, to work with Elisabeth Eidenberger in an in-depth podcast interview in front of a live audience (the broadcast will take place in April or May 2025 in the podcast Club of the clever ones) and, on the other hand, to work together with the successful Best Ager Models Doris Grausam (69) and Andrea Neuhofer (52) on the podium about beauty ideals, model standards, charisma and self-confidence to speak. The panel talk was organized by Valerie Hader and Verena Gabriel in a hall filled to the last seat.
