She followed the quote with her own musings, writing, "Right now, this resonates with me because I’m trying to grow my business. I’m trying to have things come to fruition. Some days I’m so motivated and some days I feel like the piece’s [sic] are falling apart," as per Daily Mail.

After the premiere of 'Selling Sunset' Season 7, Heather took to her Instagram Story and wrote, "Everything happens how it’s meant to 🤍….. And we all have a plan. It’s bittersweet to not be a part of SS anymore. But I do know that good or bad I wouldn’t change the experiences I had," as per US Magazine.
