What an open, raw and inspiring chat I had with Amy, which to be honest took me completely by surprise.

We had intended to talk about training hard and preps however the conversation became a lot more than that, we discovered that we had similar experiences and could delve deeply into them instead. We opened up on the realities of the modelling industry as well refusing to let an abusive relationship turn be a defining feature, instead using it to harness mental toughness. I want to thank Amy for being so candid and vulnerable.
