GUSTE - Mental Health, International Modelling & Backing Yourself

Guste’s story is one of trusting your gut, backing yourself and finding the courage to do what feels right, even when the industry tells you otherwise.

Coming all the way from Lithuania, Guste joins The Model Diaries to talk about her 12 year modelling journey from being scouted at just 14 to navigating the highs and lows of an international career. After years of being told Australia wasn’t the right market for her, she finally finds herself here, proving the importance of trusting your own instincts.

Guste opens up about international placements, overworking, feeling unsupported by her mother agency and the impact modelling has had on her mental health. She speaks honestly about depression, personal struggles and the challenges she’s had to overcome along the way.

Raw, honest and real - this is Guste’s story of resilience, self discovery and learning to trust herself in an industry that doesn’t always make it easy.
