What an amazing show last night! Carre Otis really surprised me: as a supermodel with great celebrity status and a slew of successful modeling and film projects under her belt, I didn’t expect to feel an enormous connection to this guest. And then, Carre came on the show with such grace, humility, humor, consciousness and connection I was stunned — and happily surprised. What a phenomenal, real and genuine soul.

In our candid conversation we covered such topics as:

• Domestic violence, anorexia and trauma
• Where hope and belief come from
• The importance of letting go of control
• How to overcome the fear of letting go of control
• What it means to be free of the past

I felt like I could have talked to her for a few more hours, we had to much to say. You can listen to the full interview between Michele Rosenthal and Carre Otis here.
