Unfinished, Brave & Free to Choose — with Katie Isles

This week I'm joined by Katie Isles-award-winning wedding celebrant, model, content creator and the woman behind Unfinished Katie.I first met Katie back in 2018, modelling together later in life, and this conversation feels like a long-overdue catch-up between two women who have said yes to change more than once.Katie talks honestly about confidence, visibility, reinvention, and why feeling “unfinished” can be one of the greatest freedoms we have.This is a grounded, real conversation about courage — not the loud, performative kind, but the quiet bravery it takes to try again, pivot careers, and keep showing up even when fear is present.Starting a modelling career later in life — and what’s changed (and what hasn’t) in the industryVisibility, age stereotypes, and why marketing still lags behind real womenSocial media confidence vs real-life confidence — and why both can exist at onceAnxiety, imposter syndrome, and the myth that confidence is “fixed”How Katie retrained and became an award-winning wedding celebrantWhat celebrating other people’s love teaches you about your own relationshipAdjusting to children leaving home and reclaiming time, freedom, and identityWhy bravery doesn’t mean being fearless — it means doing it anywayThe meaning behind Unfinished Katie and staying open to growthWhat “Free to Be” truly means in a world where choice and rights cannot be taken for grantedYou don’t need to have it all figured out.You don’t need permission.And you are never “too late” to start again.Katie Isles is an award-winning wedding celebrant, model, and storyteller.She is the recipient of:West Midlands Wedding Celebrant of the YearNational Wedding Industry Newcomer of the YearFollow Katie on Instagram: @unfinishedkatieIf this conversation resonated with you:Subscribe to Liberté – Free to BeLeave a rating or reviewShare it with a woman who might need to hear it todayThe more women who find this podcast, the more confidence, courage, and permission we can spread.✨ See you next week for another inspiring conversation.Keep being fabulousRachel x
