In this episode of The Business of Modelling, Tessa is joined by Kirin Dejonckheere, an international model turned certified life coach, about transforming industry pressures into personal power and why mental health, authenticity and self-worth are revolutionising how we define success in modelling.

With a decade-long career, she brings a raw perspective to the realities behind the glamour. We explore her evolution from struggling with industry expectations at 15 to becoming the mentor she needed herself - discussing the importance of trusted guidance, the art of saying no to protect your well-being, and why the most sustainable careers are built on substance, not just surface.

Now combining mindset, fitness and nutrition coaching, Kirin is redefining what it means to thrive in fashion while staying true to yourself.

This week, Tessa is joined by Tamsyn Morgans, who started her career in modelling and now is a photographer and stylist. From her start in Manchester's vibrant '90s commercial scene to her current work capturing vintage interiors for magazines like Period Living and Homes & Antiques, Tamsyn's story showcases fearless reinvention.

We explore her journey into a photographer in her early 40’s, her philosophy that being nice is the best career advice, and why the most authentic creative journeys are rarely linear. Tamsyn proves that passion and persistence can turn any challenge into opportunity.
