ABOUT ME
Growing up in Brazil, I had big dreams of exploring the world.
I spent many hours in my father’s library, absorbing the works of Carl Sagan, Freud, Plato, Kabbalah, ancient civilizations and other cultures. When I had the opportunity to transfer to a university in New York City to complete my degree in International Relations, I was more than ready to begin a new adventure -- and that opportunity would afford me more than an education. I discovered my insatiable drive to learn as much as I could from the very best people I could find. I began my career with the United Nations and in public relations, and soon discovered I loved strategy and market development, and quickly evolved to leadership roles that led me to a successful career in business development in tech. The innovative world of Internet of Things and the Smart Home appealed to me, and I networked my way into it, ending up in Silicon Valley.
I was also fortunate to work with and be mentored by brilliant people. One of my mentors, a very successful CEO for public companies, advised that I also get a finance education under my belt to succeed in business development, so I pursued studies at Wharton in Philadelphia. Early in my career, I was honored to be included in a select top talent group of executives by invitation only, who received prestigious educational and networking opportunities. This also came with much responsibility, and I worked tirelessly to maintain the pace and mental stamina required to seize every opportunity and rise to every challenge that came my way.
I developed businesses and teams with exponential growth globally and was trail-blazing in my career with great success, making multiple six-figures, experiencing a successful IPO, traveling the world, and starting businesses in new countries with first-mover advantage. Then one day, as I was standing in my condo reaching for a glass of water, I was hit with a wave of uncontrollable trembling and felt absolutely paralyzed with fear. My body couldn’t stop shaking and the only thought in my mind was, “I’m going to die right now.”
Until that moment I had not realized how bad my burnout was, but it forced me to ask, “What am I doing to myself?” I was that person who took 10 international flights in a month and had no time for self-care or for maintaining relationships. I realized if I continued down this road, my health would only get worse. I urgently listened to my body, reduced my trips, started taking vacation, began meditating, and worked with a nutritionist and many other holistic practitioners. The gift of the adrenal fatigue was that it awakened me to listen to my body and inner-wisdom.
“What am I doing to myself?”
Fast forward to today, I created a sustainable work/life model where I experience success on my own terms, feel energized, and tapped into my strengths and passions. I am experiencing prosperity in health, relationships, personal mastery, fun and creativity – in addition to my career. How did I do that? I unlocked what I believe to be the most powerful technology ever created: consciousness. Since most of what we create in life comes from our subconscious beliefs, I reprogrammed the limiting beliefs that had me stuck and found my true calling along the way. I now integrate my strong business acumen with mind-hacking techniques to help leaders grow to their next level on their own terms while in resonance with what truly fulfills them. This enables them to truly thrive, which allows their teams and communities to also thrive.
We are meant to thrive and to attain our highest potential with joy, wellbeing, and fulfillment.
I understand from my own life that with the relentless demands of work and life, high-level leaders are experiencing greater stress, overwhelm, and burnout. I have the tools to step out of this cycle and transform your life, so that you can scale your business while having more personal freedom and abundance in your personal, love, health, and family lives too.
