261: Making a Home Throughout Life’s Seasons with Camila Alves McConaughey

In this episode, I sit down with Camila Alves McConaughey to discuss everything from her journey as a model early in her career; to her relationship with motherhood and family; to her ventures in community-building and entrepreneurship. Camila shares her story of moving from Brazil to the U.S. at age 15 without speaking English, how she didn’t let herself get lost in the modeling world, and how being a young model helped her understand her own patterns and how to begin honoring herself. We also discuss the challenges that come from moving around so much as a family, what it takes for a new location to feel like a home, and how relationships can achieve a sustainable, long-term balance. Finally, Camila shares why boundaries are essential for her, what it was like working with her husband Matthew on their tequila brand, which achievement she is most proud of in her life, and more.
