In Episode 7 of Don't Work With Tossers - The Podcast, Tina Boden talks to husband and wife team, Rachel and Mark Peru, Founders of Free To Be, about how important it is to not to be a Tosser and support your wife or partner's dreams.

Sharing some very open and honest conversations about working to create their own midlife magic, Rachel and Mark chat to Tina about meeting each other in their 40's on Match.com, how Rachel started her curve model career at the age of 46, how Mark has just stepped away from a career of nearly 40 years in the financial sector and how so many of life's experiences have inspired them to create Free To Be - their new midlife adventure influencing brand.

Rachel Peru is a silver curve model, body confidence activist, midlife influencer, and founder of LibertéLtd.com. Liberté Ltd is an empowering lifestyle platform for women in midlife who want to live the next chapter of their lives with freedom. Whether it's interviewing incredible women and sharing their stories on her podcast, hosting her Facebook Group, or writing weekly blog posts covering fashion, beauty, health, wellbeing, and everything in between, she is a champion of midlife women.

Not averse to change, Mark moved to Yorkshire from London 11 years ago and is now ready to embark on a totally different journey, one that is more exciting, satisfying and fulfilling.

Both in their 50's, Rachel and Mark feel now is the time to start living their best lives.  Empty nesters with a passion for travel, culture, food, experiences, making new connections and living life to the full.  If not now, when?

Their mission is to share journeys, adventures, and experiences, to inspire people of all ages to live life on their own terms.

Paying attention to your appearance is a very human trait. And though we talk about accepting our bodies and learning to love them, most of us still think about our image a lot.   

We're not the only species that groom,” says researcher and clinical psychologist Deb Mitchison. “Most species are interested in how they look so it's not a drive that I think we can expect to eliminate.” The problem is that parts of society take advantage of our natural drive to look and be better. They profit from creating insecurities around how we present to the world. This can lead to body image issues and eating disorders. 

The situation raises some philosophical questions about our society. At what point does enhancing or investing in our appearance turn into a problem? “There's a need to constantly update yourself or be better than what you are,” says philosopher Mary Zournazi. “It can give you power but be detrimental at the same time.”  

In this episode of Butterfly: Let’s Talk, we explore the difference between putting your best foot forward and going too far, both for society and your own physical and mental health.

New episode of the podcast featuring @theaprilflores out now! April is a porn performer, model and artist from Los Angeles. She’s the star of Fat Girl, a fine art book that documents 12 years of her erotic art practice with the photographer Carlos Batts. In 2005, she got her start performing in porn with Belladonna and in 2014, she became the first performer to win the AVN Award for BBW Performer of the Year. She’s won a Feminist Porn Award for her work in “Lesbian Curves 3: Soft Girls and Strap Ons” and wrote about beauty and embodiment in Tristan Taormino’s The Feminist Porn Book: The Politics of Producing Pleasure. We talk about learning the term “zaftig” and she clears up my misunderstanding of what a FUPA actually is. 

She’s the first Tierney Talks guest to have her own masturbator toy and tells us all about the molding process (she’s the first BBW to be molded for such a toy & the Amazon reviews are worth reading!) We talk about entering the porn industry as a hobbyist, weed and body dysmorphia and the plus-size amount of work left to do in the fat acceptance movement! We also talk about fat representation in porn vs mainstream fashion and entertainment, enjoying her exhibitionism and her female fan base. April describes the way making porn fulfills her interests in filmmaking and says her main career motivation is to be visibly naked, fat, fucking, having fun and getting paid for it. And we’re smoking weed and wearing lingerie the whole time! Available on Apple, Spotify, Google Play, Stitcher, etc
