My Interview with Simonetta Lein – International Fashion Influencer and “Wishmaker”

Q1. What did you want to be growing up?

I always wanted to be someone that could change and impact the world.

I was born and raised in a very small village in northern Italy.  I grew up with 2 pioneers, My father is a successful homeopathic doctor, who started his practice years before natural remedies became an accepted alternative to western medicine in Italy.   He always told me, “Walk slowly but steady.”

My mother is a psychotherapist, who also established a leading cultural center in our village, 20 plus years ago.  I remember, as a child, my mother would say, “If you believe, you can impact a lot of people!”

Q4. You have such an enormous list of accomplishments, such as best-selling author, television and radio personality, journalist, international fashion and lifestyle blogger and influencer, brand ambassador, entrepreneur, and philanthropist to name a few.

That is where my heart is.

Q8. How has social media played a part in making your message successful?

It has absolutely played a part 100%

We are proud to be dreamers. There are those who think we live with our heads up in the clouds, while the truth is that many Millennials scattered across the globe are proving that our generation is steadily and surely making a difference.

My motto is: Your Tribe is Your Vibe!
