Chapter 1: What was Kristin Cavallari's journey from reality TV to entrepreneurship?
Okay, so lately I've been trying to be more grown up about money, not in a scary way, but in a let me actually do something instead of just saying I will kind of way. And that's why I've really been liking acorns. What I like about acorns is that it doesn't make investing feel overwhelming. I don't have to sit down and figure everything out all at once.
It just automatically invests my spare change in the background, which is perfect for me because if something isn't easy, I'm probably not sticking with it. One thing that surprised me is how motivating it actually is to see progress over time. The potential screen shows how small, consistent investing could add up.
And I like that I can tweak how much I'm investing depending on what's going on in my life. Some months I'm more aggressive, some months I pull it back. And that flexibility matters. I also love that everything's in one place. No juggling a bunch of finance apps or feeling like I'm behind because I don't understand something. It just feels simple and doable.

I don't know what for you pages I'm falling on, but it's like, it's such a mixed bag. It's either like Laguna beach fans who have known me for 20 years, you know, or these people are like, who the fuck is this chick? So yeah, I get, I get all kinds of comments.
Well, let's get them familiar with you. Because I have an entire interview planned out for you because there's just you have so much. So it's like I just want to cover everything.
And hopefully in this interview, people and podcasts, people will be able to get to get a sense and a feel for you of like everything that you've accomplished before you, you know, became on TikTok and was on Very Cavallari and all that stuff. So. All right. I love it.
So let's dig in.
yeah let's take it back to the hills because that's where I fell in love with you you had like this huge personality and you didn't take anybody's shit yeah and I was like who is this woman how did that all come about because was it like a bunch of rich kids whose parents like sent them to casting agents or like how did this even come about so Laguna Beach or the hills the
The Hills. The Hills. The Hills was first, right? No, so Laguna Beach was first. Okay, Laguna Beach was first. Okay, so Laguna Beach. So, I mean, literally it fell into my lap. I was going to high school. We all were just going to school and MTV showed up one day and did an open casting call. And how they were able to come to the school was the school initially was on board with it.
MTV was paying the school. So they found all of us. And then of course the parents freaked out and they were like, there's no way we can have cameras in these classrooms. So MTV was like, that's fine. We already found our cast. So what we would do is we would just film on the weekends, but it was right place, right time. It fell into my lap and it completely changed my life. That's insanity.

Chapter 5: What challenges did Kristin face during her divorce?
Yeah.
So you grew up in Laguna beach or did you grow up in like, so I grew up all over.
So a lot of people think I'm from Laguna, but I didn't move to Laguna until I was a freshman in high school. So I was born in Colorado and Oh, wow. Moved to Connecticut, moved back to Colorado. My parents got a divorce. I moved to a suburb of Chicago. And then I was getting into a lot of trouble. And so I ended up moving in with my dad my freshman year of high school to Laguna.
What kind of trouble were we getting into? Well, Bunny...
Cause I need to hear this makes me feel better about my childhood. For so long, I was kind of ashamed of my childhood and then like my partying ways and stuff. And now I just fully embrace it.
You know, that's what, that's what made you the woman you are today.
Exactly. Um, but so I started smoking pot in eighth grade. I started drinking. I was sneaking out eighth grade. Yeah, I was young. And so, and my boyfriend Johnny at the time lived close and, And he would drive his golf cart over to my house and pick me up. And we would just, I mean, just animals. I got taken home by the cops in eighth grade. It's like all your typical stuff.

Chapter 6: How does Kristin navigate co-parenting with Jay Cutler?
You know, it just, I think I was sort of drawn to that group of kids because I had a lot of trauma. And so, you know, my escape was... to start drinking and doing drugs. And the only way I found a connection was with my boyfriend. I didn't have a connection at home. And so that was where I found it was with my boyfriend and through all of my friends.
When you, when you talk about the trauma, can we touch base on that? Like, was it just a rough relationship with the parents? Yeah.
So my dad is a narcissist, typical narcissist. So is mine. I'm just dealing with my dad today, actually.
And he died in May. Oh, really? Yeah. No, it's having a narcissistic father is so it just it's you can't explain it unless you've gone through it or somebody can relate to it.
Because there's so many layers to it. It's so complicated. It's disgusting. It really is disgusting. I actually cut my dad out of my life a couple of years ago. Hmm. which is the best thing I've ever done, quite honestly. I feel like it was the last thing I needed to do in my healing journey. And there was a period where I was like,
I felt like, am I going to have bad karma if I cut him out of my life? And am I going to have to like come back in another lifetime and have to like, you know, work through all the same shit again.
And I actually had a medium say to me, she was like, no, actually that was like what you came to do in this lifetime was to be able to stand up for yourself and set boundaries and cut him out of your life. I was like, okay, that made me feel so much better. Yeah.

Chapter 7: What inspired Kristin's jewelry brand, Uncommon James?
Just validated everything. But anyway, so I had a narcissistic dad growing up. And then parents divorce, stepfamilies, some sexual trauma with a couple different guys in my life. And just, you know, just like one thing after another. And so, yeah, I was just looking for any kind of connection, an outlet as well. So that was why I kind of... you know, went down the path that I did. Yeah.
They say that children who are born Capricorns normally have issues with the mom. So for you to have issues with you, I wonder what your moon sign is.
Well, okay. I don't know which one is moon and which one is, uh, what's the other one? There's Venus. So I'm cancer and Aries, but I don't know which one is which.
I could see you being an Aries moon. Cause I'm an Aries moon.
Okay.
So you might have, I don't know. We'll do your chart. I'll do it. I'll get your number and we'll, or we can do it on the podcast. I don't even care. I love it. Do you, Mimi, do you know how to look up the birth charts? Yeah. Will you look it up?
Oh, fun. Just give, um, I was born and I was born at, I think PM.

Chapter 8: What are Kristin's plans for the future in 2025 and beyond?
Isn't that crazy? Like I came in the world AM and you will never catch me up at six 30 AM ever dude. While she's looking that up, we'll continue. But isn't it crazy though, that like, so much happens in your early life and it's like, you, you don't know how to deal with it and you carry it so deeply.
So it comes out in other ways, which was of course for you, it was the partying and stuff like that.
Yeah. I know. I think everyone is the way they are because of their childhood. This is like my favorite conversation, you know, because I just think, and I think a lot of people, they don't, take the time to actually look inward and really work through their trauma and figure out why they are the way they are. Yes. And I feel like that's been my whole fucking life basically.
It's like having to like figure it out. Breaking generational. Yes.
Literally.
That's me too. Yeah. And finally I'm about to turn 38 and I finally feel like I'm in a good place with everything and have a good handle on it.
You know, I'm so glad you got a hold of it early because I didn't want to start dealing with my shit till I hit 40. And when I tell you I hit 40 years old, I had the most crazy depression. Like it like it's like you can be so strong your entire life. And then it's that one day that you just wake up and everything fucking hits you like a wall. Yeah.
So the fact that you have gotten ahead of it is just amazing. I'm so proud of you for doing that.
I mean, I've always said, I feel like the first, the first half of my life was just like thing after thing, just like, it was just a lot. And now I'm hoping that I'm setting the second half, second half of my life up to just be fucking chill, just like relax and be able to just enjoy my life.
