About this listen
“A book about a rare life, profound love, profound grief, anxiety, self-assurance, empowerment, aging, loss, and joy. It is nuanced, complex, insightful, helpful, and constantly surprising.”—Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of These Precious Days
Writer and former model Paulina Porizkova pens a series of intimate, introspective, and enlightening essays about the complexities of womanhood at every age, pulling back the glossy magazine cover and writing from the heart.
AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER
Born in Cold War Czechoslovakia, Paulina Porizkova rose to prominence as a model, appearing on her first Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover in 1984. As the face of Estée Lauder in 1989, she was one of the highest-paid models in the world. When she was cast in the music video for the song “Drive” by The Cars, it was love at first sight for her and frontman Ric Ocasek. He was forty at the time, and Porizkova was nineteen. The decades to come would bring marriage, motherhood, a budding writing career; and later sadness, loneliness, isolation, and eventually divorce. Following her ex-husband’s death—and the revelation of a deep betrayal—Porizkova stunned fans with her fierce vulnerability and disarming honesty as she let the whole world share in her experience of being a woman who must start over.
This is a wise and compelling exploration of heartbreak, grief, beauty, aging, relationships, re-invention and finding your purpose. In these essays, Porizkova bares her soul and shares the lessons she’s learned—often the hard way. After a lifetime of being looked at, she is ready to be heard.

Invisible
Hitting middle age, I notice there is a big shift in life & can't quite pin down all the changes. Along comes Paulina & sums the last piece up - Invisible we become, like being shoved out in the cold. She also brings some hope for the rest of us!

Boo hoo let’s feel sorry for me
This was such a dire read, I wanted to love it but instead it was the most boring recollection of what comes across like one seriously spoiled brat. It reads like a collection of one ‘poor me’ story after another. The arguments for ageing are supposed to be empowering to women but even that becomes a rant about some commentators who tackled her hypocrisy in feeling sorry for herself after generating so much cash from the beauty industry machine. I was simply disappointed at her for the stupid surprise that was her finances - how is it possible that a woman at this time cannot know what she’s doing with HER money. Only have yourself to blame. Stop seeking validation, it’s not empowering anyone
