Pumping on the streets of New York and Chilli Heeler as an icon with magazine legend Justine Cullen Ready or Not
-
- Parenting
Justine Cullen is the editor in chief of InStyle. If, like me, you’ve been a devoted consumer of Australian magazines some time over the past three decades, there’s a good chance you’ve pored over some of her stories, for the likes of Girlfriend, Marie Claire, Dolly, Shop Til You Drop, and Elle.
Her formative magazine years were during those heady days of long lunches, fabulous parties, and luxurious travel, and she’s seen it all; the move to digital, the closure of countless iconic titles, and the ever shrinking budgets.
If you think Justine’s professional life sounds colourful, her personal life makes her story kaleidoscopic.
Four sons, three dads and bouts of single parenting all while navigating big jobs, international fashion shows, and becoming a published author.
Her youngest is four, her oldest is 18, and her life is full.
Here, she takes us back to the start – from falling pregnant at 27 and thinking her career was over, to putting Chilli Healer on the cover of a magazine - and all of the ebbs and flows that came in between.

This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Boon Wurong people of the Kulin Nation. The land on which I''m lucky enough to raise my son always was and always will be Aboriginal land. I Pay The Rent and you can too here.
