Lorraine Pascale: I left a coercive relationship and rebuilt my entire life
Former supermodel turned TV chef and psychotherapist Lorraine Pascale sits down for an intimate, heart-to-heart conversation.
From navigating the highs of '90s Paris catwalks alongside Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss to enduring the heartbreaking realities of foster care, adoption, and hidden coercive control, Lorraine opens up like never before.
She speaks candidly about finding her biological father at 94, and why turning 50 gave her the ultimate freedom to rewrite her own story.
