She’s now a mother of 3, a bestselling author, a podcaster, and a businesswoman. But everything came at a price.

Here, we discuss Heidi’s lack of self-worth and low self-esteem started with her toxic friendship with Lauren, and 8 other reasons, and they led to bad business and personal decisions.

Kylie Jenner & Jordyn Woods: The 8 Most Crucial Secret Ingredients For A Woman To Consider In Order To Maintain Long And Healthy Female Friendships
When we speak of a friendship breakup, we can’t not even mention Kylie Jenner’s breakup with her longtime best friend, Jordyn Woods. Between 2012 and 2019, the duo was inseparable. They called each other ‘wifey’. They were more important to each other than any boyfriend. Woods seemed to be more of a priority to Jenner than the father to her children, Travis Scott, who was her boyfriend at the time. Instead of living with him, she and their daughter, Stormi, lived with Woods. Nothing could tear them apart, or do it seems. It all came crashing down, though, in February 2019, after Woods was caught kissing Jenner’s sister’s, Khloe, boyfriend, Tristian Thompson. The friendship was fractured by Woods’ betrayal, but she and Jenner were spotted together a few times in the years since. In October, Jenner revealed that she never fully cut her former bestow out of her life, but rather put a distance. And so it begs the question, what is the secret to leading a healthy female friendship? Let’s discuss…
Little Mix: What Is The Bona Fide Definition and Significance Of Female Empowerment And A Female Friendship Ending Caused By The Lack Of…?
Little Mix was a British girl-group that won our hearts, as well as ‘The X Factor UK’ in 2011. They were together until 2022, which is an eternity in a world of bands, especially female-led bands that started out as teenagers. The girl-group, which consisted of Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, were the mere definition of female empowerment and women sticking together as a united front. That was until Jesy Nelson left the band in 2020 following her struggle with depression and anxiety. Nelson’s friendships with her former bandmates collapsed, but it wasn’t her leaving the group that caused the friction, but rather her actions, or lack of, thereafter. So that begged begs the question, ‘What is the real significance of female friendships and women supporting women? Perrie Edwards recently answered this question for me in a podcast interview on ‘Happy Place’. Let’s discuss…
Liam Payne: The Deadly Stigma Surrounding Early Fame, Addiction, And Mental Health In Men – And Why We Need To Continue The Conversation Following His Passing
Liam Payne’s death from a fall on October 16 hit a chord. He was a young artist who seemed to have it all. But it all came at a cost – his mental health. Throughout his career, Payne was very open about his struggles with alcohol and addiction throughout his time in One Direction. Maya Henry, his ex-fiancée, wrote an entire fictional book based on their relationship, which was abusive due to his lifestyle and demons. We analyze his other relationships, such as with Kate Cassidy, Cheryl, as well him as a father to his son, Bear. We answer questions like, ‘Was Liam Payne a bad person because of his addiction?’ With that said, Payne’s death was a great reminder of Matthew Perry’s death exactly a year ago, and it’s sparking a conversation on male mental health – both for famed celebrities and regular people. Let’s discuss…
Nicole Scherzinger: It’s The Battle Of The Sexes In Leadership – When A Powerful Woman Is Outshined By A Powerful Man
Nicole Scherzinger is a force to be reckoned with, and an underestimated one at that. She’s the former member of The Pussycat Dolls, former judge on ‘The X Factor, and an actress who currently stars in the theatre production of ‘Sunset Blvrd’. But it’s actually her short stint on ‘The X Factor UK’ from 2010 that’s been coming to light in recent years. As you might recall, Simon Cowell was credited for the formation of One Direction, but that was until a never-before-seen video was released in 2022 of how One Direction was ACTUALLY formed. Nevertheless, Cowell still seemed oblivious enough to take more credit than he should have; even as recent as this year. With that said, here we examine the differences between male and female leaders, who makes a better leader, and what makes a better leader. Let’s discuss…
Nikki Bella: Is It Better To Be With The Wrong Person To Fulfill Your Desire To Have Children Than Be With The Right Person And Make The Sacrifice Of Being Childless?
Nikki Bella is a reality star, a podcasted, and a WWE champion. If you’re a fan, you might remember that she was previously in a relationship with John Cena, another former WWE champion and actor. They broke up due in 2018 because Cena is someone who doesn’t want to ever have children, whereas Bella always desired to have children one day. Following the breakup, Bella reconnected with her former ‘Dancing With The Stars’ partner, Artem Chignitsev. She got everything she wanted – the child and a marriage. Since then, Bella has filed for divorce after a domestic dispute that happened between them on August 29, 3 days after they celebrated their 2 year wedding anniversary. The divorce is nasty. And so it begs a question: is it better to marry the wrong person and have a child with them, or marry the right person and sacrifice having children with them to be with them?
Lola Pacini: Why She’s The Best Female Character In The Entire Degrassi Franchise – And Why Every Woman Should Strive To Be Like Her
Lola Pacini is a character that was introduced on the last season of ‘Degrassi: The Next Generation’. We were lucky enough to see her story develop further on ‘Degrassi: Next Class.’ We saw her be labeled as ‘the dumb one’ by her friends. But we also saw her be the smart one, the wise one, and the strong one that her friends and everyone around her underestimated. In hindsight, Lola is the best female character in the entire Degrassi franchise, and every woman, no matter the age, should strive to be just like her. There are many reasons for that, and we’ll talk about them all. We’ll also talk about real-life female celebrities like Anne Hathaway and (the late) Liam Payne’s exes, Maya Henry and Kate Cassidy to compare. Let’s discuss…
