Mia Mauge: From Invisible to Unstoppable — The Power of Showing Up at 60

On this week's episode, we're joined by Mia Mauge, who went from feeling invisible in her forties to walking onto a Marks & Spencer's lingerie set at 54 — and she still can't quite believe it either.

Mia spent almost 20 years dyeing her hair out of shame, navigating single life in midlife, and wondering where women like her had gone in the shops she was still spending money in. Then she stopped. Stopped fighting, stopped hiding, stopped waiting for the gatekeepers to notice her. She went public on Instagram, got scouted by four modelling agencies, and became the voice a whole generation of women didn't know they were waiting for.

She talks to Kaye and Karen about the two-year hair transition that involved a communal gasp in a salon and a bleach disaster her daughter still laughs about. About why "ageing backwards" made her walk away from a campaign. About being single at 60 and why younger men keep showing up while men her own age can't get past the silver hair.

Whether you're embracing the grey or still clutching the box dye every fortnight, Mia's story isn't really about hair. It's about what happens when you stop performing youth and start showing up as yourself — and discover the world was ready for you all along.
