• What your agency expects from you
• Building and improving your portfolio

• Why development matters

Fashion Week Exposed: The Rejection Nobody Shows Sep 18, 2026

Fashion Week looks glamorous from the outside—but behind the runway are castings, callbacks, long waits, tough decisions, and rejection that most people never see.

In this episode of The Model Way Podcast, Lenny Wheeler takes you behind Fashion Week to talk about the realities models face when the cameras aren’t rolling. What happens when you don’t get the callback? How should models handle rejection? And why can one “no” have absolutely nothing to do with your potential?

We break down the business behind Fashion Week, the casting process, professionalism, preparation, confidence, and what models can do after Fashion Week to keep building their careers.

Whether you're an aspiring model, working talent, parent, creative, photographer, or simply curious about what really happens behind the runway, this episode gives you a look at the side of Fashion Week that doesn't always make it onto social media.

Surprising Secrets from a Fashion Psychologist! | Interview with Dr. Yasmine Saad Jun 12, 2025

In this powerful conversation with renowned psychologist Dr. Yasmine Saad, we unpack a truth that’s rarely talked about:

Negative emotions aren’t problems to be solved — they’re messages waiting to be understood.

You’ll learn:

Why pain doesn’t always mean trauma — it can mean misalignment

How sadness is often a signal that you're not giving yourself what you truly need

Why emotional intensity (especially in women and creatives) is misunderstood

How to pause and decode your feelings instead of getting consumed by them

Whether you’re healing, supporting someone else, or just trying to make sense of what you feel — this episode offers real clarity.
