'In Her Words' is a sub-series of Something Private — a space for women to share deeply personal stories of unspeakable pains and triumph, faith and strength.

Anyone else love 😍Tiong Bahru Bakery? 😍On this second episode, we hear from Cynthia Chua, CEO and founder of SPA Esprit Group, first of her name, Queen of Lifestyle Establishments, Khaleesi of the Well Groomed Lawn, Breaker of Gender Stereotypes and Mother of Croissants! Cynthia sits down with me (honoured!) to share about her success behind 19 brands, almost 20 years later. We also check out her natal charts to see what kind of qualities and traits successful people have. Turns out, most of it boils down to having a positive mindset. Bon bon!
