When did you believe in yourself the most?
When I had been self-employed for 3-4 months and could see that everything, I had feared by taking the leap and all the doubts didn't become my reality. That's the moment I call my own breakthrough.

What advice would you have given yourself ten years ago / What advice would you give your future self?
Relax. Not relaxation like vacations and meditation necessarily, but in my thirties with 4 young children, a soccer club, and 3 businesses, one cannot do it all at the same time. I tried, and I don't think I've suffered any harm, but in hindsight, I would have told myself to relax because it will be alright no matter what.

What is the best thing about wearing Matinique?
It's a safe choice. Whether it's pants, a blazer, or accessories, there's something so deeply embedded in the design code and DNA that you know you won't stand out, and on certain days or occasions, it provides a peace of mind.

What is never out of style?
Jeans and a white t-shirt. But on a broader level where we're not talking about fashion, I would like to answer "not slamming the door." In my world, it's extremely rare, whether it's a work relationship, acquaintances, or friends, you should never slam the door. So, I don't think that ever goes out of style.
