The Meaningful Beauty brand owner, 56, said she wanted to give back to her personal trainer Sarah and her husband Rick Hagaman, who have helped her through the years.
“I moved to Malibu, I think, 17 years ago and my coach that I had for a long time, she broke up with me,” Cindy said. ‘I was looking for a new coach and Sarah was recommended to me. Cue 17 years later, we are so dependent on each other to share. I mean, we’re each other’s therapist now.

Sarah said she started coaching Cindy for only half an hour, but later increased to an hour and met with her three times a week.
“This friendship evolved in such an organic and nice way,” Cindy said in a confessional.
“We were through a lot of big moments together and probably the biggest moment was when I found out Rick was diagnosed with cancer,” Sarah said.
“I lost a brother to cancer when I was a kid, so I have some experience,” Cindy said. “But I can’t imagine as a young mother, suddenly you’re scared for her life, you’re scared for your kids.”

Sarah said that Rick’s diagnosis would leave him unable to have children, so they had two weeks to try for another baby, and luckily they were successful.
Cindy said that Sarah has been talking about buying a house since she’s known her. She also shared that Sarah and Rick were looking forward to hosting sobriety meetings at her new house.
The supermodel walked through the home with twin brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott and suggested that the home’s layout should be reinvented with an open-concept layout.

“I know how much your life revolves around the kitchen living room,” Cindy said. “And also, because Sarah and Rick are so involved in their recovery community, they also host gatherings at her house.”
Cindy helped with the demolition of the house by using a sledgehammer to smash a countertop.
She told the brothers they had less than six weeks to do their ‘super remodel’ of the house their friends had just bought, but couldn’t afford to renovate it due to medical bills.

“It’s definitely more physically challenging than most modeling jobs,” Cindy said. But I liked it more than I thought I would.
Cindy also encouraged them to use arches in the design of the new space. Cindy also helped them choose the colors for the cabinets and flooring and helped them lay the floors down when they arrived.
“Arches add an architectural element to your home,” Cindy said. “I think it ties the whole space together really well.”

“Cindy is a rock star, there’s no other way to say it,” Drew said. “She’s doing everything she has to to make this home perfect for Sarah and I love that.”
Drew was amazed at how much Cindy was spending on renovating Sarah’s house.
“She literally went all in on it here,” Drew said. She did the construction, the demolition. She did all the different aspects of this design and was able to make it as a gift to someone she loves.’

“Thank you,” Sarah said.
