AuthorityMagazine.com – Young Social Impact Heroes: Why and How Author Makaila Nichols Decided To Change Our World

Aspart of my series about young people who are making an important social impact”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Makaila Nichols.

At age 22, Makaila Nichols is a best-selling author of “Blatantly Honest: Normal Teen, Abnormal Life.” In her book, she shares her personal struggles with issues teens may encounter such as: bullying, body image, sexual assault, peer pressure and more. To meet the needs of her younger audience, she has also created two children’s coloring books focused on anti-bullying and positive body image: “Buddies Don’t Bully” and “Every Body is Beautiful.” Thanks to generous sponsors from Central Florida, Makaila and her sponsors have donated over 10,000 coloring books to over 18 elementary schools.

To reach an even larger audience, Makaila has developed a YouTube & podcast channel that focuses on changing the stigmas behind teen social issues. She is able to accomplish this by chatting with celebrities, influencers and experts about their own struggles and triumphs. Makaila also shares her story in person. She travels the country to speak to elementary, middle and high school students about bullying, body image, sexual assault, mental health and suicide prevention. Aside from working with the youth, she also hosts events to provide insight for parents, teachers, organizations and more.

bestlifeonline.com – The More Money You Spend on This, the More Likely You Are to Divorce

Additionally, spending a significant chunk of money on the wedding can signal that one or both of the partners don’t have their priorities straight. “If a couple is focused only on the materialistic/monetary aspect of things, it brings into question their values of one another and what they emotionally bring to the table and the relationship. Using a big extravagant party to show how great their relationship is often reflects that there might be more flaws than they are willing to admit,” says relationship expert Lauren Peacock, the author of Female. Likes Cheese. Comes with Dog.: Stories About Divorce, Dating, and Saying “I Do.” 

Peacock also mentions the role that pressure can play on a wedding and, ultimately, marriage. “Weddings that have a lot of money behind them typically have a lot more pressure behind them—whether it’s social pressure or family pressure,” she notes. “Sometimes that takes away from the bride or groom really knowing what they really want for themselves, if they are allowing outside influences.”
