Back to EpisodesFrom Supermodel To Film Producer: Reinventing At 50+ with Caprice Bourret
Description
Caprice Bourret is proof that reinvention doesn’t have an expiry date.
From becoming one of the most photographed women in the world to building a film career from scratch in her 50s, she’s lived multiple lives and she’s still not done.
Three years on from her first appearance on On A Mission, Caprice is back and this time she’s gone all in. Producing, acting, writing and running entire film productions herself, often with limited budgets and no safety net, creating opportunities instead of waiting for them.
This is a raw, unfiltered conversation on authenticity, social media, and the world we’re living in today. From online hate and parenting in a digital age to mindset, resilience, and life after surviving a brain tumour, Caprice doesn’t hold back.
A powerful reminder that you can reinvent yourself at any stage, if you’re willing to do the work.
