What would your younger self be thinking of you right now, and what advice would you give to her?
If I were to imagine my younger self, she would probably be happy and proud of where I am today. I have accomplished many things and grown as an individual. If I were to give her advice, I would tell her to take time for herself and not get overwhelmed by the responsibilities. It’s important to find a balance between work and personal life, as well as to continue learning and exploring new things.
You use your responsibility as an influencer incredibly well by supporting other females, acting on making positive changes in communities, and staying true to who you are with your roots and family values. What is your ultimate goal?
My ultimate goal is to build an inclusive and supportive community where women can freely express themselves and share their stories. I want to create a space where women feel empowered, inspired, and supported. By using my platform and with indē wild, I aim to make a positive impact and contribute to positive changes in communities around the world.
From all of the work you have done in India and around the world, what has been the most difficult thing you have done or seen?
Working and traveling globally has been an eye-opening experience. I have had the opportunity to witness different cultures and see the problems that people face across the world. It’s hard to pinpoint the most difficult thing I have encountered, as each experience has its own challenges and lessons. However, witnessing the hardships faced by marginalized communities, especially women, has been particularly challenging. It has motivated me to work towards creating a more inclusive and inspiring world.
The struggle of being away from your family must be extremely difficult, how does Oleg feel without you being home sometimes, and does it cause any strain on your relationship?
The distance can be taxing and sometimes difficult, but I am fortunate to have a supportive partner like Oleg. He understands the nature of my work and is always there for me and our family. We have a solid understanding and clear communication, which helps us navigate the challenges of being apart. While it can be tough at times, our love and commitment to each other keep us strong, and we make efforts to spend quality time together whenever possible.
What is your “zen”? (Aside from being with family – how do you spend your “you” time)
When it comes to finding my “zen,” I love to relax and engage in activities that bring me peace. Meditation is a practice that helps me center myself and find inner calm. I enjoy moments of simply doing nothing and allowing my mind to rest. Taking walks, reading, and pursuing creative hobbies are also ways I recharge and find solace in my “me” time.
We can see your mother has a huge impact on your life and is one of the main inspirations behind your brand Indi Wilde. If there was one thing she would pass down to you as advice or a teaching that you would pass down to your children, what would it be?
My mom is indeed an influential figure in my life, and her impact is reflected in indē wild. If there was one thing she would pass down to me as advice, it would be the value of resilience. My mother has always demonstrated incredible strength and perseverance in the face of challenges. She has taught me to never give up, to believe in myself, and to keep pushing forward no matter the obstacles. It’s a lesson I hope to pass on to my daughter Dua.
Do you have plans of expanding your family and having another baby? If so, when?
I believe in living in the present and embracing the opportunities that come my way. While I am open to change and the possibility of expanding my family in the future, I am enjoying the precious moments with my daughter and taking things one step at a time. Family planning is a decision that requires careful consideration, and I believe in allowing life to unfold naturally.
