If you’ve scanned the cover of magazines GC, Galore, Jezebel, or took a scroll through Instagram, you would recognize Charlotte McKinney. Charlotte is a self-made success story, who joined me on this episode of Been Better… hbU? to truly unveil that she is more than what meets the eye. Before taking off in her modeling career, she was living in Miami, partying and “being stupid.”

A leap to put herself on Instagram landed her in campaigns for Guess and Carls Jr’s Super Bowl 2015 ad. When it came to the fork in the road to choose New York or California, she chose to trust herself and move to California. In California, she has continued her career in modeling, acting, and even dabbling in standup. She is the type of guest I love… someone who lives in the moment and for the joy of new experiences.

Charlotte shares how she feels Hollywood has changed - how the introduction of intimacy coordinators on set gives her hope for the next generation of actresses. She also shares her battle with interstitial cystitis, a chronic bladder health condition, and how she deals with the pain. Charlotte unpacks how ketamine therapy helped her unlearn patterns, open her brain, and bring new ideas to the surface. “It helped me be able to leave my house… you feel lighter.”

Charlotte champions the idea that we all have our issues - how no one lives the picture-perfect life you see online. Her mission is routed in inspiring her community, through her personal shares with IC and her work with the Best Buddies organization. Charlotte truly impressed me, you’re going to love her.
