Self - belief is everything. Whether you want to start a law firm or a jewelry business, women get pushback, societally. People will be like, "This is a bad idea." You have to have enough self-belief to see where you're gonna end up and not let anybody derail you.

There's so many ups and downs, and there's so many pieces to trying to build a business, and if the intention isn't very, very clear and the business isn't reflecting that intention, then it makes it much harder.

I'm a bit traditional in the way that I think that a woman draws her energy from the house. Food is a really nice way of expressing that energy and love, and doing something with care and putting time into it and nourishing your family.

Are you crazy? I don't want to wear ideas. I don't want to have all these complicated thing.
