Summary

You may know Camila McConaughey from the runway or as the brilliant woman behind Matthew McConaughey, but on today’s episode we get to see a different side of the model and writer. In this emotional interview, Camila opens up about her brother’s struggle with diabetes and how it has deeply affected her. She also talks about her tumultuous journey into the industry - moving here at 15, not knowing the language, and working as a housekeeper and then server for years before catching her modeling break. And, for the first time ever, Camila reveals her side of Matthew’s proposal and explains why she turned him down at first. Lastly, she talks her new healthy-eating book “Just Try One Bite” and online community www.womenoftoday.com. We hope you enjoy! RESOURCES: https://sites.prh.com/justtryonebite www.womenoftoday.com
