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.Key Takeaway / Points:Camila’s story of moving from Brazil to the U.S. at the age of 15 without speaking EnglishOn her journey to modeling and how she didn’t let herself get lost in the industryOn getting to the root of who you are and understanding your own patternsOn honoring your energy cycles and prioritizing sleepOn finding community while moving aroundOn what it takes for a new location to feel like a homeOn the fixation of “power” with gender in relationshipsOn achieving long term balance in relationshipsOn Camila’s natural state of calm and why boundaries are essential for herOn working with her husband Matthew on their tequila, Pantalones, and why she was nervous to begin this venture togetherOn how she has made every stop on her journey her own and the achievement she is most proud ofOn defining your own success in motherhood and outside of itFind the Women of Today website at https://womenoftoday.com/Follow Women of Today @womenoftodayFollow Camila @CamilaMcConaugheyOrder Camila’s children’s book Just Try One Bite hereCheck out Camila & Matthew’s tequila brand, Pantalones Organic Tequila, here Get your tickets to our live show on 10/9 @ 7:30 PM HERE!!!!This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
