WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT INSPIRED?

Last spring, when I visited Seoul for the first time with my husband. South Korea feels 50 steps ahead of the rest of the world, in terms of technology, culture and innovation. The beauty, fashion, food and design concepts I experienced in Seoul absolutely blew my mind. From cafes solely dedicated to croissants (croissant fries, croissant-lined hot chocolates, croissant onigiri) to robotic servers at restaurants, I had to sit down on the sidewalk to catch my breath from the overwhelming amount of inspiration that hit me (no joke!).

WHAT DO YOU VALUE THE MOST ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHY?

I am comforted by my perseverance. No matter what challenge I'm faced with, I work through all possible angles to find a solution. With every door that closes, there's often a window of opportunity, and I'm always on the lookout for it. This has served me well in entrepreneurship and is something I've become known for by my friends and family.

WHAT'S ONE THING YOU THINK OTHER PEOPLE OVERVALUE?

Material success, especially in a city like New York. At the end of the day, our relationships matter most. While I'm motivated and driven by consistent growth as an entrepreneur, I always remind myself that looking back, time spent with my husband and daughters, my family and friends, team members and peers are what will define my life.

WHAT DOES THE WORD 'WELLBEING' MEAN TO YOU?

Harmony and connection between body and mind.

WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WATER?

I'm most at ease, calm and inspired when nearby water. Whether jogging Hudson River Park or catching the sunset in Biarritz, nothing soothes me more. I also take a bath every night in the winter, I love the ritual of it.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR DAILY ROUTINE, WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

I would love to integrate more consistent and daily mindfulness practices. So often they fall to the bottom of the list, but I always feel incredible after a class at Modo Yoga, or during a Tui Na massage, in a sound bath or when I can sink into meditation. It's been a goal of mine to prioritize this, so I can show up more present in other areas of my life.

WHAT WOULD YOUR STARTER PACK INCLUDE?

Tamburins egg lip balm in Woody Green, Anis de Flavigny Mints, Rowse Winter Body Oil, Ahlem Sunglasses, Staub Cast Iron Oval Cocotte, Herbes de Provence from Pere Blaize in Marseille, and AD France.

HAVE YOU HAD ANY INTERESTING SHOWER THOUGHTS LATELY?

I recently imagined an entire menu, table decor, lighting scheme, playlist and seating plan for my next dinner party in the shower. I'm itching to design our new apartment so that we can host friends for an elaborate and over-the-top dinner party. By the way things are going, pizza boxes on the floor is a more likely reality- ha!
