What is your wellness philosophy?

I feel wellness needs to be adaptable and accessible to your lifestyle. It should come naturally and shouldn’t be imposed on a lifestyle. If it comes naturally, then it will stay forever with you. As for me: journaling is never my thing. But creating a to-do list is one of my natural habits, so I make sure that I do a to-do list first thing in the morning. It’s so natural to me that’s why I feel that one wellness habit is sustainable in my lifestyle.

Your success mantra?

Don’t compare yourself with others. Everyone’s journey is different and I am carving out mine in a unique way.

A lesson you learned from making a mistake?

Don’t be impulsive in life! I took so many impulsive steps in my business and that ended up costing me a lot with no result.

Any piece of advice for all the women out there?

Yes! We women are always hard on ourselves. Make sure you appreciate yourself while climbing up to the leader.

What has been your biggest pride as a doyenne?

I am very product that we are women, and we are together celebrating feminism in the greatest way.
