Desvio de Trajetória

We grew up with a checklist for adulthood: job, house, marriage, kids. But somewhere along the way, the rules changed. In this episode, I reflect on what “having it together” really means, why our generation’s path looks so different from our parents’, and how we can find hope, humor, and even a little wisdom while still figuring it out.

In this episode, I reflect on the silence that comes after leaving a 17-year career, and the unexpected lessons found in the pause.

old to be soft. Grateful. Unthreatening. But what happens when women stop shrinking and start showing up fully - angry, ambitious, unapologetic? In this episode, I share personal stories - from regretted advice to a colleague, to an ex-boyfriend who feared my ambition - and explore the unspoken rules women learn to follow in order to be "enough." This is a raw, emotional, and fiercely honest look...

What happens when you lead the room… but everyone looks at the man beside you? In this powerful and personal episode, I reflect on being a woman in leadership - the silent bias, the cost of always proving, and the path toward change.

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of amentor who saw something in me before I fully saw it in myself — and how that belief helped shape the course of my professional journey.

Whether you’ve had a mentor, been one, or are still l...

I just got back from the most transformative journey of my life—Antarctica. But what happens after an experience like this? Almost two months later, I still wake up thinking about the icebergs, the silence, and the people who became family.
