Not Just a Model: Jordan Barrett on Body Dysmorphia and Mental Health

In this deeply candid episode of Mental As Anyone, host Jonathan Moran sits down with global superstar and highest-paid Australian male model, Jordan Barrett. Breaking his usual silence with the media, Jordan opens up about navigating the hyper-fast world of international modeling since the age of 13. He shares raw insights into his personal battles with anxiety and body dysmorphia, shedding light on the restrictive control of the fashion industry and the relentless pressure to fit sample-size standards. Jordan reveals how a critical two-year pause allowed him to reclaim ownership of his mind, body, and career through creative passions like photography, design, and acting. From surviving industry "beasts" to conquering Island Peak, Jordan delivers a powerful reminder that mental health struggles are just phases, and finding your safe haven is entirely possible.
