I was born and raised in Brazil, and have been living in Europe since 2016.

 

A few years ago, my career was my absolute priority. For over 15 years in the corporate world, I worked in various roles, companies, and industries, traveling the world and interacting with people from different cultures and languages. That was my world, and I believed I was on the right path.

 

Then burnout hit me.

 

I never imagined I would go through that. Suddenly, everything that once made so much sense no longer resonated with my heart. I felt disconnected and lost. Who was I, after all? Or rather, who am I really?

 

This marked the beginning of a deep journey of self-discovery. It wasn’t easy. I faced fears, doubts, and the uncomfortable need to look inward. Perfectionism, the need for external approval, and the fear of failure all came to the surface. I was trapped in my comfort zone, which ironically was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.

 

The reality of the corporate world, with its relentless pursuit of profit and little focus on people’s well-being, no longer aligned with my values. I realized I needed a change, but the imaginary security of my job still held me back. The truth is that real security comes from within, from what we can control—our purpose and our passion.

 

I sought help. I overcame many fears, reframed limiting beliefs, and found the courage to break free from the golden shackles of the corporate world. I have not regretted it for a moment. I love helping people. My work now is to support professionals in finding a career path that makes more sense, that aligns passions, natural talents, values, and financial needs. Without romanticizing it—the transition can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be lonely. With a structured plan and the right support, I believe it is possible to transform your career and, consequently, your life.
