Video Description
In this powerful episode of Begin Again, Penny Lancaster shares the story behind her extraordinary life, from international model to police officer, mother, and menopause campaigner. Opening up with raw honesty, Penny revisits the traumatic events that shaped her childhood, including an attack at age 12 and a devastating encounter at 17 that she buried for decades. She reflects on how those experiences shaped her confidence, her relationships, and her drive to protect others. Penny also discusses life in the spotlight, her modelling career, meeting and marrying Rod Stewart, and the unexpected twists that led her to retrain as a Special Constable at 50. With emotion and clarity, she describes the mental toll of perimenopause, her misdiagnosis with depression, and the moment everything finally made sense. In this moving conversation, Penny reveals what it means to reclaim your voice, how she found strength in vulnerability, and why speaking out was never just for her, it was for every woman still in the dark.
