I’m Carol, a 30-year-old Brazilian who’s been living abroad for the past 7 years. For most of my life, I was a chronic people-pleaser. I learned early that love was conditional, something I had to earn by being small, quiet, and “good.” I spent years abandoning myself, silencing my needs, and molding my life to fit everyone else’s expectations. And I had no idea. The breaking point came when I lost my younger sister. I blamed myself for not being there for her, until I realized I wasn’t even there for myself. So I decided: I would find a way to show people the light within themselves. To prove that there’s always a way to make things better. I didn’t know what I was doing when I started this journey, I just knew I had to find a way to not feel so shitty all the time. So unfulfilled. I went inward, I faced my shadows, protected and understood my inner child, broke conditioning patterns, and learned to become my own best friend instead of my own worst enemy. About a year ago, I started writing online to share what helped me, in case it could help someone else. As Thor said, It was shadow work on steroids, and I quantum leaped in ways I didn’t think were possible. My most recent breakthrough was having to leave a relationship that I thought was my “twin flame” but turned out to be a mirror of every pattern I was finally ready to break. That breakup reactivated me. I finally chose myself fully and decided to start building a life I’m genuinely proud of. My mission now is to help people (especially women) stop settling for lives they didn’t choose. To reclaim their sovereignty, break survival patterns and beliefs, and build lives they actually love living. Starting with myself. I’m here to learn, grow, and connect with others who are doing the same. Excited to be part of this tribe! ❤️🔥
