Christy Turlington Burns on Going from Model to Maternal Health Advocate
Update: 2024-05-08
Description
In the 1990s, Christy Turlington posed alongside icons like Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista as one of the world’s first supermodels. She retired by 25 before going to college, earning her degree, and getting married. Then came her first baby – and a life-changing birthing experience that would inform her future work and advocacy.
In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Christy shares:
- The benefits of her sister marrying her brother-in-law (hint: holidays are a breeze)
- Why she has “survivors’ guilt” about getting out of the modeling industry unscathed
- Her thoughts on building a career out of being a supermodel
- Her traumatic birthing story and how it led to the founding Every Mother Counts
- Advice on how to advocate for yourself in medical settings
