This week, I’m joined by model and fellow mental health advocate Alexandra Barrett, also known as AllieLongLegs, for an empowering and deeply honest conversation about what life really looks like behind the lens—and behind the smile.
In this episode, Allie and I dive into the intersection of modeling and mental wellness, unpacking the highs, the pressures, and the inner work it takes to stay grounded in an industry that often prioritizes image over authenticity. We talk openly about confidence, self-worth, and the importance of protecting your mental health while chasing big dreams in high-pressure spaces.
Allie also shares a powerful milestone in her journey: booking her dream runway show featuring collections from legendary Italian designer Roberto Cavalli. She reflects on what that moment meant for her healing, her confidence, and her sense of belonging, while also honoring Cavalli’s legacy and his inclusive impact on the fashion world.
This conversation is for anyone navigating visibility, ambition, and mental health all at once. It’s a reminder that success means nothing without self-compassion and grounding. You can listen to this episode in full on all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or stream it directly here on the blog.
