The myth of 'making it' — Samhita Mukhopadhyay

Ladies, We Need To Talk

Samhita had it all. As the executive editor of Teen Vogue she was living the Devil Wears Prada life — fashion shows, fancy dinners and towering heels.

She was a girlboss. But at the height of her success, cracks began to appear. She was anxious, burnt out and her body was falling apart.

But Samhita was at New York Fashion Week in a fur coat and clutching a Gucci handbag, having just put Malala Yousafzai on the cover of her magazine, who was she to complain?

After spending a lifetime trying to climb the corporate ladder, she started to wonder whether it was possible, as a woman, to have it all. And if so, was it worth the cost?

Samhita sits down with Yumi Stynes to talk about redefining success and happiness.
