Jo Elvin: The Very Peri Summit, Trolled By My Teen & Y2K vs 2022

The Capsule in Conversation

In this weeks episode Natalie is joined by former Editor in Chief of Glamour & You Magazine Jo Elvin. Listen in as Jo talks in detail about her steady rise from junior at Australian teen bible Dolly to being at the helm of the UK’s number 1 women's magazine for 17 years. She reflects on her favourite cover stars including a young Britney Spears, the culture and attitudes towards women in the noughties and how turning 50 played a pivotal role in her deciding to leave the magazine industry and start a new challenge in the charity sector. Discussing her involvement in the highly anticipated The Very Peri Summit, Jo recalls her own experience of being perimenopausal and experiencing menopausal symptoms at 46 and how she feels inspired by the likes of Davina McCall to push back on the narrative that women are past it when they reach this phase of life. She also shares anecdotes from parenting her 17 year old daughter Evie and how she wishes mat leave could be taken through the challenging teenage years of parenting. In a lighter moment Jo reveals her not so secret love for Korean pop and how the Y2K revival has no place in her wardrobe. Listen in for a funny and frank chat with one of the UK’s most prolific figures in women's fashion & beauty. To find out more about the Very Peri Summit please visit www.veryperisummit.co.uk
