Alison Brahe Daddo ‘I was still trying to shake the shame’

Alison Brahe Daddo was a household name in the 90s.  Beginning her career as a model at 16, an entire generation of Aussie women grew up alongside her as she regularly graced the cover of Dolly, Cosmo and Cleo.  Alison went on to marry TV heartthrob Cameron Daddo, move to LA and have 3 beautiful children.

Now, as a ‘Menopausal mother of 3’ Ali joins Jess to talk about her early life as one of Australia’s first Supermodels, her relationship with shame after being sexually assaulted whilst on an overseas modelling assignment, and how menopause has helped reflect on her past and find her big beautiful bold voice
