Models turned entrepreneurs Steph Claire Smith and Laura Henshaw are everywhere rn.
These Aussie besties are busy running a fitness empire, publishing their first book and designing their own clothing collabs, so we were excited to catch up with them on GF’s new podcast, Beauty Boss, to get the tea.

With both Laura and Steph getting their start in the modelling industry, the girls spoke about their battles with body image and how they’ve learned to feel comfortable in their own skin.
“When I was modelling overseas, I met some girls who were Victoria’s Secret angels I had looked up to for years as a young model and I was so excited to meet them, but when I did we were in a gym and all I could hear was them picking on themselves in the mirror. I was like ‘what, what do you mean!?”‘ she said
“These people who in my mind were perfect back then. And they were so insecure.
So that’s when it hit me that not everyone thinks they’re perfect, not everyone is 100 per cent happy with themselves and a journey to love yourself is exactly that, it’s a journey.”
While we’re exhausted just thinking about how much Laura and Steph have achieved in their lives, the girls revealed that working with their best friend is actually what keeps them motivated.
‘We’re really lucky to have the friendship that we do. I think we’ve become more like sisters now than anything,’ Laura said.
‘It’s really cool to have someone especially in business who you respect so much. Like with Keep it Cleaner, I want it to do so well because I love Keep It Cleaner, but I also want the best for Steph, which is Keep It Cleaner so you just want to work harder.’
‘Yeah and we both have the same goal for the business,’ Steph added. ‘It’s not to say we agree on everything, because we definitely don’t, and we both have our strengths but I think that’s why it’s worked so well.’
