Where Are They Now? Catching Up With Charlene

August 4, 2016

Charlene Cattoi was the February model for A Calendar to Live By 2010. We caught up with her to see what gems charleneof retrospective wisdom she might share for our Throwback Thursday former calendar model series! Here’s what she had to say:

  1. What was the one experience or lesson that has stuck with you most from your year as a model in A Calendar to Live By?

That I am beautiful and worthy.

  1. What did that calendar photo say about who you were then? How are you similar or different now?

It said I have a heart. Today my heart is tougher & more wonderful!

  1. Give us a sense about any big changes that have happened in your life since the public first got to know you as a calendar model.

My life has done a total turn around – change is scary but I wouldn't change a thing.

  1. If you could share one piece of advice now to a young woman who has just joined BB!, what would it be, based on your perspective now?

You are beautiful-never doubt it. Love the New You! You are worth it!
