Joanna found her style when she turned 50. Did you have the same experience when you turned 50?

On the podcast, Jo talks about how her natural grey hair and vintage style preference makes her work as an ‘extra’ a fun part of her lifestyle.

Being an ‘extra’ can be confronting. Especially when you’re on a production set getting your hair and makeup done in the era of your parents. Have you had the experience of when you’ve dressed like your mother when she was your age? Did it seem like they were looking straight back at you in the mirror?

That’s confronting.
