25 Inspirational Arianna Huffington Quotes

A woman long ahead of her time, Arianna Huffington, has paved the way for women’s empowerment, especially in the world of media, politics, and most importantly, for mental health. Huffington is best known for her role with the “Huffington Post,” which she helped found and served as its Editor-in-Chief for some time. However, Arianna Huffington’s name was already well known in the world for other prominent entrepreneurial pursuits and achievements.

Huffington’s role has evolved over the years, alongside her business aspirations and goals. At one time, her eyes were set on politics, as she was heavily involved in political initiatives and causes. Arianna Huffington now dedicates her time to mental health well-being, as she herself knows firsthand what exhaustion and stress can do to a person in a position of high influence.




Before Huffington Post: Who is Arianna Huffington?

Arianna Huffington was born in Athens Greece with the given name Ariadnē-Anna Stasinopoúlou. She attended college at Girton College in the United Kingdom, where she took on prominent leadership roles, especially for a woman. Throughout the 1970’s, Huffington lived in Europe and wrote various books before coming to the United States and continuing her aspiring writing career.

She officially became a “Huffington,” when she married California politician Michael Huffington in 1985.The two went on to have two daughters, but ended up divorcing in 1998.

In the 1990’s, she was heavily involved in political initiatives, as her former husband made an unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate in 1994. Huffington identified as conservative throughout the 1990’s, until she endorsed candidate John Kerry in the 2004 election. In 2003, she independently ran for the Governor of California during the recall election, but withdrew before the final election took place.

She also did a political radio show called, “Left, Right & Center,” as well as assisted in the writing for the Emmy-nominated show, “Politically Incorrect.”

Huffington Post – Present

In 2005, Huffington, along with co-founders, Andrew Breitbart, Kenneth Lerer, and Jonah Peretti created the “Huffington Post” (now known as “HuffPost”). This online community focuses on a more liberal political stance, while also sharing insight on a variety of topics outside the political realm as well. Throughout its existence, freelance writers, celebrities, and politicians alike have contributed written content to this website, and it continues to hold a strong popularity to this day.

In 2011, Huffington became the Editor-in-Chief to The Huffington Post Media Group when the “Huffington Post” was purchased by AOL for over $300 million dollars. After five years, Huffington stepped down from her position with the “Huffington Post” to pursue a new creative venture entitled, “Thrive Global.” This is another online community that focuses more on mental health and well-being initiatives for men and women alike.

Throughout her career, Huffington has gone on to be named one of Forbes’ Most Influential Women in Media, a Top 100 influencer in the Media by “The Guardian,” as well as being ranked as the 52nd Most Powerful Women in the World by Forbes in 2014.

Arianna Huffington’s impact on media, mental health awareness, and women’s empowerment are just some of her lifetime accomplishments. She is also a huge advocate for proper sleeping routines for business leaders, going as far as to call herself a sleep evangelist on social media platforms.

“When we believe in something, we got to stay with it, even when the world tells us no.”

“Ninety-nine percent of the time it’s not urgent, and to create a culture where you are constantly plugged in and expected to be always-on is to create a culture of burnout.”
