Known for her savvy sense of style, Sims showcases this and more on her blog, MollySims.com, which offers original content on beauty, fashion, wellness and more. Sims is also working on her third book. Her first book, The Everyday Supermodel: My Beauty, Fashion, and Wellness Secrets Made Simple, was released in 2015 and appeared on the New York Times Best Seller list. In 2017, she released the highly anticipated follow-up to the first book with Everyday Chic: My Secrets for Entertaining, Organizing, and Decorating at Home, in which she shares her tips, tricks and secrets for entertaining, organizing and decorating.

As a philanthropist, Sims works closely with Baby2Baby, which provides underserved children ages 0–12 with diapers, clothing and all the basic necessities that every child deserves. A native of Kentucky, Sims resides in Los Angeles with her family.

Prior to Netflix, he founded and ran Bluegrass Films, which produced such hits as Ted, Central Intelligence and Safe House, among many others. A former vice chairman of worldwide production at Universal Studios, he was responsible for many of its critically acclaimed, award-winning and commercially successful films, including A Beautiful Mind, Seabiscuit, Cinderella Man, Jarhead, 8 Mile, Meet the Parents and its follow-up films, plus both the Bourne and The Fast and the Furious franchises. More than 20 of the films he supervised have grossed over $100 million at the U.S. box office.

In 2005, Heidi expanded the  WTE brand online with WhatToExpect.com, which registers over 60 percent of all US pregnancies and features the #1 pregnancy app in the world. What to Expect.com is home to an active and engaged community of more than 14 million moms, with an average of 800,000 new posts each month. The app offers personalized weekly content and videos by Heidi and she also connects daily with her WTE family through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

In 2012, Heidi and her husband, Erik, acted as executive producers on a feature film version of her iconic book: “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” The film, a comedy that stars Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Rock and Elizabeth Banks, features five couples whose intertwining lives are turned upside down by impending parenthood.

Heidi’s passionate commitment to moms and babies led to the creation of the WTE Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping moms in need have healthy pregnancies, safe deliveries and healthy babies. With a beautiful, culturally appropriate, low-literacy pregnancy guide (provided at no cost to at-risk moms) and curriculum and training for health care professionals and clinic staff, the WTE Project’s groundbreaking Baby Basics—available in English, Spanish and Chinese—has helped nearly a million moms-to-be and babies in need. The foundation also partnered with the State Department to bring Baby Basics to Liberia and Bangladesh. 

In 2013 Heidi and Erik joined forces with the USO in Special Delivery, a program that celebrates and supports expectant military moms serving far from family and friends. Heidi has hosted over 200 Special Delivery baby showers for more than 20,000 military moms, both active duty and spouses, around the world, from Germany to Japan, Korea to Guam, Alaska to Texas. Special Delivery offers parents not only the chance to connect with Heidi, but with one another, helping create vital local networks of friendship and support.

The WTE Project is expanding its mission globally to reach the most vulnerable moms around the world and is launching a pilot program in Abuja, Nigeria. Heidi and Erik, in partnership with International Medical Corps, support lifesaving maternal and child health care, midwife and community training, and building health clinics in Africa. Heidi serves as a First Responder, joining their team of humanitarian health care workers in the field in some of the world’s most devastated areas, including South Sudan, Sierra Leone and the Somali and Syrian borders—and has hugged her way through dozens of villages, training facilities and refugee camps.
 
In 2015, the WTE Project debuted the social campaign #BumpDay with founding partners International Medical Corps, 1,000 Days and the United Nations Foundation Universal Access Project and in collaboration with WhatToExpect.com. The campaign celebrates beautiful bumps and healthy pregnancies around the world, while raising awareness about the overwhelming need for improved maternal health care both in the US and globally.

Heidi advocates for maternal and child health, meeting and making media appearances with many Congressional leaders on issues such as the Affordable Care Act, Zika, military families, family leave and child care. She works closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public health organizations and sits on the board of the 2030 Collaborative.

In 2011, TIME magazine named Heidi one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. She has also received the Smithsonian Associates’ prestigious John P. McGovern Award and International Medical Corps’ Humanitarian Award, and has been inducted into the Books For a Better Life Hall of Fame.
