For the first time in 27 years, someone made me question my accent… and it triggered something I didn’t expect.
She corrected me. Then she took over the part I was supposed to teach.
And for a second, I believed her.
“Maybe my accent makes me less professional.”
“Maybe they’d rather hear someone else.”
Then I caught myself.
My accent is part of my story, not a limitation. It’s where I come from.
Don’t let someone else’s opinion become your belief about yourself, whether it’s your accent, your body, your age, or your career.
Own what makes you different. That’s your power.
And yes… I’m keeping my accent.

I hit rock bottom in my early 20s. Here’s what changed everything.

The Brio Clarity Method™ didn’t begin as a business idea, it began with my own healing journey.It was created through years of lived experience, studying, training, practicing, teaching, and doing my own inner work.

In my early 20s, I went through one of the darkest periods of my life, struggling with anxiety and depression. I received treatment that helped me, but I knew there was deeper work I needed to do within myself.

That journey led me to yoga, meditation, breathwork, and a completely different relationship with myself.

Little by little, I began reconnecting with my essence, with who I truly was underneath the fear, the pain, and everything I thought I was supposed to be.

And somewhere in that darkness, I found my purpose.

That is where Brio began….

Brio is that aliveness. That inner spark. That connection to your essence that is already within you, but sometimes gets buried beneath the noise of life.

What began as my own journey eventually became my life’s work: supporting others in human development, healing, clarity, and transformation.

Today, after more than two decades of learning, practicing, teaching, coaching, and working with people, those experiences have come together as The Brio Clarity Method™.

This is Part 1 of the story behind Brio and I’m excited to finally share more of it with you.

Sometimes our darkest chapter becomes the doorway to our purpose.

Whoa... my program, the Brio Clarity Method™, is officially out into the world! 🙌

had the honor of launching Brio for the Brazilian entrepreneur community at the Expansion Room, hosted by the incredible business coach 🚀ZIL EILER | VENDAS speaking in Portuguese to a room full of incredible women (English subtitles in the video for my non-Portuguese-speaking followers 😉).

If you’ve ever felt stuck: like you’re doing all the right things but something still feels off, this is for you.

BRIO means energy, vitality, confidence, and that spark for life. It’s also the name of the method I created: my integration of life coaching and somatic experiences, designed to help you quiet the outside noise, reconnect with yourself, and get clear on what you actually want.

Most of the time, you don’t need more information. You need space, space to hear what you already know, reconnect with your inner vision, and turn that clarity into real, confident action.

I’m so excited to bring this work into the world and now available in English and Portuguese, for individuals and groups.

Curious if Brio is right for you?

Gossip feels harmless in the moment. It feels like connection, like bonding, like just sharing information.
But gossip rarely builds anything. It usually just spreads judgment, distorts the truth, and creates distance, even when that’s not the intention. I
The other day I caught myself about to do it in a group chat. And I paused.
That’s when I realized: gossip is just one example of a much bigger pattern, reacting before we think.
The real practice is learning to pause before you react in any moment, not just with gossip, but with anger, judgment, comparison, fear.
That pause gives you space to notice your patterns and choose how you actually want to respond.
This is exactly the kind of shift I guide clients through in the Brio Clarity Method™ : the program I created to help people find their purpose, break old patterns, and become the best version of themselves.
