Kristin Cavallari has never been one to censor herself. "If you know anything about me, it's that I'm honest," says the star, who found fame on MTV's Laguna Beach before branching out into hosting, writing cookbooks and running her Uncommon Beauty and Uncommon James lines. Still, she admits she's had a bit of a wall up - until now. Chatting with Us at the Fairlane Hotel in Nashville, the 36-year-old mom of three (she shares Camden, 11, Jaxon, 9, and Saylor, 7, with ex-husband Jay Cutler) reveals she's "putting it all out there" on her new podcast, aptly titled Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari, premiering on Sept. 12. "Since I first started on TV at 17, my image has been controlled to a degree," she says. "So this is the first thing I've done where I'm like, 'This is the real me," she explains, adding, "I'm in a really good place in my life, and I feel like I can finally open that door and let people in."
What made you decide to do this podcast now?
I've been offered a podcast for more than 10 years. I wasn't ready before because to have a successful podcast, you have to be vulnerable, and I wasn't in a place where I could do that. I've always had no filter, but I've kept the audience at arm's length. Once I signed on, I knew I had to be completely myself.
What topics will you cover?
It's a good mix. I want to have men come on to shed light on dating. We'll also focus a lot on women's inspiring stories. I'll talk about spirituality, too, and have psychic mediums come on.
Will listeners be surprised to learn anything about you?
Everything I've done in my career - TV, the books, Uncommon James - has only ever been a little piece of me. It's like social media - you get a snapshot of someone's life. So I think people are going to be surprised to really get to know me.
