She learned to hold a pose long before she learned to hold herself.
Now, decades later, Tera O’Hara is modelling with silver hair, untamed truth, and a story that refuses to stay behind the lens.
📖 Full Description
What happens when a woman shaped by shadows decides to step into her own light?
Tera O’Hara entered the modelling world at eighteen, already carrying the fractures of a childhood marked by turbulence, silence, and a relentless fight for self-worth. The fashion industry praised her beauty, but behind every flawless pose was a girl still trying to outrun the echoes of her past.
The woman she would become was forged far from the runway or the lights.
Her transformation happened in the shadows she was brave enough to enter: the inner work, the ancestral unravelling, the profound healing cultivated through yoga, the grit of homesteading, the vulnerability of poetry and art, and the ancient medicine traditions of plants and amphibians. Tera travelled into the deepest layers of her lineage—unravelling generational pain, rewriting inherited stories, and reclaiming the parts of herself that were never meant to be lost.
Each practice cracked her open, offering not glamour but truth. Not perfection, but power. She didn’t just rebuild herself—she rewrote the narrative of those who came before her and those who will follow.
In this open and honest episode, Tera dives into breaking the cycle of toxic family patterns, her multi-layered healing journey through psychotherapy and plant medicine, and her shift from being invisibly undervalued to becoming visible and relevant in her 50s—both in the modelling industry and within herself.
Tera’s evolution is not a fashion story.
It’s the anatomy of awakening.
A descent into shadow.
A rise into light.
A powerful reminder that the most unforgettable transformations happen after the world stops watching—and the soul starts speaking.
Now in her 50s, as a silver-haired model and mother, she stands with a presence carved from lived experience—a beauty sharpened by resilience, softened by grace, and illuminated by self-understanding. She embodies the kind of womanhood that refuses to disappear.
