Summary
In this week’s episode, the Lautners sit down with former Miss Universe Demi Tebow! Demi starts by sharing what inspired her to compete for Miss South Africa and her deep passion for the philanthropic side of pageantry. She discusses how she managed inevitable comparisons with fellow contestants, opens up about the identity crisis she faced after relinquishing her Miss Universe crown, and explains how her commitment to supporting others became a path to healing herself. Switching gears, Demi bravely recounts the unimaginable story of being carjacked at gunpoint, shares the two things that ultimately saved her life, and explains how therapy helped her heal from the trauma. Finally, Demi talks about The Tim Tebow Foundation, her new book "A Crown That Lasts," and the quality she is most proud of in herself!
