Text by Nicola Bonn

"In this episode I have the privilege of interviewing former nurse and now make-up artist and founder of the Attracta Beauty Awards, Attracta Courtney.

Attracta has been in the beauty industry for a long time and has been having the anti anti-ageing conversation for years. She believes that the reason that she is so passionate about this is that when she was a nurse people would give anything to be well enough to grow old and it just didn't sit right that the beauty industry was undermining ageing with their messaging.

Attracta and I chat about the changes that are happening and the things that need improving. She also talks about her brilliant career, the beauty awards that she has created and some of the beauty products that she loves.

Attracta is a brilliant guest and is one of the women who are changing the beauty industry for the better."
