In Whitney's case, she has been touted as becoming one of the youngest female billionaires in the country and has graced the covers of countless magazines as a visionary and success story.

I've come to realize that self-worth does not equal net worth. But I will tell you that on paper, at my on paper wealthiest, according to society's standards, I was spiritually the poorest I've ever been. You're just going there right away. And I love this so much. And I just watched myself get decimated on the internet and turned into this scorned woman. And just like that, at 24, it was all over. So yeah, I retreated to Uggs and staying inside and hiding. I didn't have anything. Everything had been stripped. I was turned on and I had nothing. But it's one of the best things that ever happened to me because when you have your dignity, perceived dignity, your perceived self-worth taken from you,
This kind of magical thing happens where you realize you've nothing left to fear. It's gone. So many of us are scared to start or do or try because we don't want to lose this thing, whatever that might be. But it was gone. And that's where the magic started. That was where the magic happened because the space was cleared.
This is big. This is so big. So few people get this. This is, like, one of the biggest keys to success, in my opinion. It's one of the biggest keys to success, one of the biggest keys to finding your purpose, one of the biggest keys to fulfillment. I'm, like, jumping out of my chair because I knew how inspiring this would be, and I'm just thinking about every person listening or watching this right now who's having a big aha moment.

Enter another traumatic situation. These patterns that we're all in, we're all in patterns until we break them. And my pattern was broken when I laid on that ground, literally on the bath mat after Tinder, and I said, oh my God, oh my God, this is it. I am going to course crack this whole thing. I'm going to create a positive social network. I'm going to harness technology for good. And I'm going to take what almost killed me and I'm going to make us stronger. And that was the moment. Inspiration and mentors matter. Like seeing things that inspire us matter. Get inspired. Watch the show with everybody you bring on. Like, you know, read about people that have defeated their own odds and that energy does kind of impart on us and we can do it too.
