Below are the questions I asked her:



1.     How does feeling good about yourself and your beauty translate to your everyday life? 
Bold, confident and fearless choices that move us in the direction of our desires. 

2.     Why do women self-depreciate, and how can we stop such a bad habit?
Many reasons, but mainly because we haven't healed our past and we allow our "Delusional Diva" that small inner voice run the show.   

3.     How do you live boldly? And who helped to guide you along your way? 
I live boldly by not allowing my fear control me. I face my fear and act in spite of it.  


4.     Why should women buy your book, Fearless Beauty
They should buy the book because it is a good read, with great stories and powerful exercises that helps them to own their beauty and follow their dreams.

5.     Where do you go to get a great cup of Joe/Tea in your hometown? 
Sadly, my hometown doesn't have a coffee house for me to visit and have tea. 

6.     What time do you get up and what do you eat for breakfast? 
I am usually up at 5:30 or 6am and love to eat steel oatmeal and green tea. 

7.     Do you apply make-up everyday? How does looking good make you feel? 
I don't apply make-up everyday, my daily beauty ritual consist of yoga and meditation. Makes me feel refreshed, alive and beautiful.

8. Flaws are beautiful – yet magazines and media tell women that's not so – how can we be confident when we feel we must be perfect all of the time? What's your favorite flaw about your self? 
My forehead....it is large and in charge.
