My friends, on the last episode of season 2 I'm just yapping (in Portuguese!) about shame, discomfort, and some funny stories from back when I was living in Colombia.
I also reflected on my main learnings this season from talking to amazing guests with so much valuable content to share.
My intent with this podcast is to have honest, useful, adult conversations about life with accountable people, for accountable people. I hope that through these conversations you get inspired, learn something new, or simply realize that just like you and I, every single person is just trying to figure it out.
I will see you in a few months and as always, I'm really grateful for your support!

In this episode, I reframe self-love as a set of actions and decisions rather than a feeling or something tied to appearance.
I outline practical behaviors that in my opinion help build self-love: using kinder self-talk, investing in self-knowledge (including facing uncomfortable truths), and building self-confidence by honoring commitments, being selective with yes and no, not relying on emotions for consistency, and challenging limiting beliefs through small, controlled steps.

Ever downplayed who you are to make it easier for others to understand you? This episode is your wake-up call.
Anna Luiza Barbosa, Oxford MPP student, joins me for a raw conversation about owning your story, trusting your intuition, and why your "non-fancy" background might be the most powerful thing in the room.
Over the past decade, Anna has worked across diplomacy, climate policy and sustainable development, holding positions that range from early career roles to leadership in international cooperation. Her professional journey includes working for the British Embassy in Brazil and the UN Alliance of Civilizations, where she drove initiatives that foster dialogue, sustainable growth and climate action.
From networking to self-confidence tips, this is a masterclass in becoming yourself on purpose.
