Rupi Kaur on Finding Success as an Industry Outsider

Toronto author Rupi Kaur self-published her first book Milk & Honey in 2014 when she was just twenty-one – and she never imagined it would become a number one New York Times bestseller and that she’d become a global literary sensation. With new pressure to support her family and to match the success of her first book, she built out a company of nine women, all while coping with anxiety and depression. In this episode, Daniella talks to Rupi about the imposter syndrome she felt as an outsider in an industry that sometimes wasn’t welcoming to her, what she’s learned from running a business as someone who feels from the heart, and what happened when she finally acknowledged her depression. She also explains why she’s so excited about her latest book and connecting with her audience in a more present way. Visit Wondermind.com for more mental fitness content.
