Former model and Mother of 3 Award winning content creator
Sunday Times bestselling author, campaigner - Louise Boyce is better known online as Mamasstillgotit_
She pivoted from plus size positive modelling to comedy content creator during Covid and never looked back. On Instagram she has built up a following of over 500k and on Tik Tok nearly 400k Followers and 6.5M Likes.
Her campaign called 'Push It Out' exposed how the fashion industry didn't play fair when selling maternity wear. (later when she became pregnant she was dropped by her agent!) A pregnancy was seen as "damaged goods"
She got them to change their adverts to come with disclaimers. She has always been wary of aspects of the fashion industry and In 1998 she quit the business due to an eating disorder. She said she was "extremely unhealthy (mentally and physically) and was told I could never have children."
Louise told Alison Curtis on Weekend Breakfast all about it.
The paperback of her book Mamas Still Got It – How to make it through the Calpol years without losing yourself - is out 29th February.
NOTE: In the chat with Louise Boyce mentioned she had suffered with an eating disorder – if you or someone you know is looking for help or advice – there is the Eating Disorders Association of Ireland, a national voluntary organisation supporting people affected by this – get more at bodywhys.ie
