Justine Cullen | Magazines, Motherhood & Not Having It All The Grace Tales

    • Kids & Family

As someone who spent most of her career in fashion magazines, I loved interviewing today’s guest not only because she’s someone I admire but because she’s always kept it real and honest. Today you’ll meet the former editor of Australian ELLE magazine Justine Cullen who has just published her first book, Semi-Gloss, which through a collection of essays, takes us on a hilariously candid exploration of her life so far - and all the mistakes she's made along the way. It’s a reminder that no matter what our lives look like on Instagram, every single one of us makes mistake.  

Her new book Semi-Gloss is an intimate, sharp and witty look at growing up and growing older from the kind of woman who seems like she has it all together - the glamorous job, the perfect family, the killer wardrobe. But, chipping away at that shiny, sparkly surface, Justine reveals the beautiful mess that lies beneath. 

As always, we talk about Justine’s incredible career, and how she’s done it while raising 4 boys. We talk about the big topics – from marriage to miscarriage and also get a glimpse into justine’s former life as a WAG, a beauty editor and more. 

Let’s meet Justine.
