From Miss Universe to Motherhood: Demi Tebow on Identity That Endures
Wed Jan 21 2026
What happens when the title you worked your whole life for is suddenly gone?
In this deeply honest episode of The Something New Show, host Mindi Linscombe sits down with Demi Tebow for a powerful conversation about identity, faith, motherhood, grief, and purpose beyond accolades.
From winning Miss Universe to walking off the stage feeling unexpectedly empty, Demi shares the defining moment that reshaped how she understood her worth — and why it led her to write A Crown That Lasts. She opens up about becoming a first-time mom, navigating loss, learning how to say no in a new season, and why trust matters more than clarity.
