What it means to be a wild woman:
- "I think 'wild' is one of the sides that most of us have and some of us embrace and some of us don't. It's a good quality to show from time to time and to practice being ok with what you are. I believe I have other sides as well, not just wild, but wild is the fun one." --Kristina Mänd-Lakhiani
