Heidi Montag on Fame, Failure, and Finally Being Understood

You’re probably wrong about Heidi Montag. This week on Superwomen, I sat down with the woman many people think they already know. (And no, we’re not talking about The Hills.) Instead, we get into the dream Heidi had long before reality TV: her music. She shares how she spent years pouring everything into her album, why she believed it had failed, and what it felt like to watch it find a cult following more than a decade later. This is a conversation about what it costs to keep believing in a dream the world has already dismissed, and what happens when public perception finally catches up to who you were all along. Brought to you by Macy's.
