It’s official: curve models, content creators and hosts of the Model Citizen podcast, Michaela and Hunter McGrady, are our long lost best friends. They have such incredible energy, are the best examples of sisters supporting and respecting one another and it is so inspiring. Listen to this episode to hear how they were raised to put respect for one another first, and how their mom positively influenced their confidence growing up. We also ask them to share how they’ve navigated the tragic loss of their brother, and how practicing gratitude has helped them move forward. Plus, we celebrate some of their major career wins like walking together in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway show. We know you’re going to love this conversation and hope it leaves you inspired to embrace and enjoy life here and now.
