“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” ~ Virginia Woolf. On this International Women’s Day, GlobalSpa recognizes and celebrates the women in the industry as we delve into their success mantra they follow, mistakes that have helped them grow, and of course, their WELLNESS philosophy.

Blogger, fashionista, communicator par excellence and a mother, Harpreeth Suri has mastered the art of creating a perfect concoction of all her talents by steering her own iconic blog @momwearsprada.

What is your wellness philosophy?

Health is Wealth–is my wellness philosophy. After long hours of work, the daily rigmarole, I make it a point to take out time for myself and pamper myself. The body goes through its wear and tear, but I must look after its repair. Hence, I make it a point to go for my therapies and routine checkups because if I am well, I can keep others in high spirits, too.

Your success mantra?

Honestly, I thank the people who never believed in my potential. I thank them for condemning me. I took that as an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, push my way through and rough it out. But all this comes only if you are determined to take action and withstand the storm.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Failure, adversity, problems are all a blessing. They make you try harder. They polish you more. Treat them as lessons and rise. A phoenix rises from its own ashes, so why can’t we?

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

As a woman who has changed a career path, my only advice is to take the leap of faith and believe in yourself. Enjoy the process.
