Standing Tall

In today's episode I want to share what happens "between the lines" of becoming a professional model. The things models go through that sometimes aren't talked about enough.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Standing Tall Podcast. This is my attempt to connect more with you and share other areas of my life, not just pertaining to modeling. In this episode I'll be discussing things I wish I knew about modeling, dating again after a break up, my secret to finally getting a little leaner and more!

If you remember or haven’t listened to her first episode with us yet, Miriam shared with us how she started modeling as a 5’4” petite model in Germany, her experience in Miss Universe and a bit of her international experience in London and Cape Town. In today’s episode I’m planning on touching base with Miriam about her experience being in Germany’s Next Top Model,  discuss more about her insights modeling in different countries as well as walking the runway!

Crystal van Commenee shares with us that even at 5’9’’ the modeling journey can still be tough. She shares with us the different ways she tried in order to get signed to agencies as well as the importance of staying true to yourself in an industry that can push you to unhealthy standards.
