We asked Johanna our famous 5 questions and this is how she replied:

1) What makes you smile?

Living in space restricted Monaco, seeing my children running in open space has to be the number one thing that has made me smille since I became a mother. I love seeing how happy they are and how free they look. 

2) What or who inspires you?

There are a lot of people and things that I am inspired by on a daily basis. It's maybe easier to say that I am inspired by people who are confortable with who they are, know what their message is and know their place in the world without having to harm anyone in the process of carrying out their mission. I also have a large library and love to read. Artist's workspaces also inspire me, I have vision boards dedicted to them.

3) Do you believe in gut instincts?

200%! Instinct and intuition should be our guides in life, from making decisions about what we eat, what friends we choose, what job we do and what decisions we make regarding our children. The gut is the second brain. I have a very strong mind/gut relationship and I'm not sure how many people know how important gut health is.

4) Your three essential things if you were stuck on a desert island would be what?

My husband, he is extremely resourceful! / A bottle of Water / Swiss Army Knife

5) If you are planning a day/night out, what do you enjoy doing the most?

I would wake up naturally (hasn't happened in 7 years ;-) ). I would then have a great breakfast, prepare a picnic and then head for a day hiking with my family. Having grown up in the countryside I need to spend time away from Monaco surrounded by Mother Nature to feel recharged and peaceful. The evening would then be spent cooking, eating and reading.
