About Roxanne Gould

I’ve spent most of my life modeling in front of the camera and being looked at.

I began modeling at a young age and have worked as a fashion model for decades, remaining active in an industry that rarely makes room for women over time. That experience has shaped how I understand beauty, visibility, and the psychological weight of being seen.

 

Modeling is not just about appearance.

It’s about presence, adaptation, and learning how to stand inside changing expectations without losing yourself.

 

Living Inside Beauty Standards

Growing up and working in fashion means you learn early what is rewarded, what is corrected, and what is quietly discouraged.

 

Over time, I became less interested in chasing approval and more interested in understanding what beauty does to a woman’s inner life how it affects self-trust, self confidence, and the ability to move gracefully through change.

 

Thankfully, aging didn’t end my career.

It clarified my perspective.

Writing, Reflection, and Perspective Earned Over Time

I am the author of "More Than Just a Pretty Face", a memoir that explores identity, perception, and the inner cost of being defined by appearance.

 

That book became the foundation for my ongoing work, including the “More Than Just…” workbook series: practical, reflective tools designed to help women think clearly about beauty, self-image, personal style, and life direction.

 

These are not motivational exercises.

They are my personal invitations to pause, observe, and relate to yourself with honesty.

The Inner Work 

Alongside my work in fashion and writing, I pursued formal training in well-being and contemplative practices. I am a Chopra-certified Total Well-Being, Ayurvedic, and Meditation Coach.

 

This education informs how I listen and guide but it does not override all of my lived experience. I don’t offer reinvention or quick fixes. I offer perspective shaped by time, focused attention, and consistent work.

What I Believe

 

  • Beauty is a relationship to self, not a performance for others

  • Confidence grows from clarity, not approval

  • Style is expression, not correction

  • Aging is not a problem to solve but a natural evolution to meet with intelligence and gratitude

I work with women who are no longer interested in chasing an ideal, but who are deeply interested in inhabiting their lives fully.

Where This Work Lives Now

My work currently takes the form of:

 

  • Ongoing fashion modeling

  • Writing and publishing

  • The “More Than Just…” workbook series

  • Limited, seasonal guidance and teaching

I allow my work to evolve as life does, which is intentionally, softly and without urgency.

An Invitation

If you’ve spent years adapting, performing, or holding yourself to someone else’s standard and you’re ready to relate to yourself differently, you’re welcome here.

 

You don’t need to become someone new, perhaps only a clearer understanding of who you already are.
