Summary
Their family has over 200 million followers on TikTok and rising, and today - Heidi D’Amelio joins us! Known simply as “Mom” to Dixie & Charli D’Amelio. It can be easy to hear the names, read the headlines and make the assumptions. But this family, led by parents Marc & Heidi, has a remarkably “normal” feel to them. Well, as normal as can be in their new world and rise to fame in such a short time. Today we hear a bit more about their origin, talk about boundaries, capacity, navigating negativity on social media and well, being a mom! Why Heidi isn’t here to be their best friend and finding her OWN path as the kids get growing up and away + why exactly they chose reality TV.
