Crystal Hefner on surviving Playboy, marrying Hugh Hefner, healing and discovering herself

The Playboy Mansion has grown as a monument to excess and pleasure in American culture – but what goes on behind its gilded gates? For Crystal Hefner, life at the mansion wasn't always the glitz and glamor portrayed in the media.

You may know Crystal as Hugh Hefner's third (and final) wife — but she's so much more than the man she married, and she's ready to take over his story. In this episode of Get Naked with Dr. Kate we discuss:

*The impact of losing yourself in a relationship and the disorientation it causes in the end
* The realities of life in the Playboy mansion (and the lack of privacy it affords)
* What messages would she like to send to young women who consume Playboy content

It's a poignant and vulnerable conversation about finding yourself in the aftermath of a tumultuous, controlling relationship – with a man and with a candor that relies on the male gaze.
