There are so many new faces on Facebook that I thought I’d share something about myself so we can get to know each other a bit better!⁣ I worked in the financial industry for about 16 years before starting my wellness business.

I started my career in baking when I was 19 years old while still living in Brazil, where I was born.

A couple of years after moving to Toronto I joined the International Wealth Management department of one of Canada’s largest banks where I spent a few years. I then worked in compliance where I was part of the team responsible for monitoring the trading desk for another large firm.

Working in the international world was a great experience not only for my career in finance but it also allowed me to hone my language skills.

On a typical workday, we would have interactions in English, Portuguese & Spanish ... talk about improving brain connectivity

I always knew I wanted to have a career where I could help people, and back in the day, I used to think that helping people manage their finances was in line with my purpose.

Eventually, I realized that my purpose is actually to help people focus on their wellbeing and prioritize their physical & mental health because without these two it becomes very challenging to tend to anything else in life.

I was diagnosed with anxiety & depression while still working in the financial industry and quickly learned that your work environment has a major impact on your healing process.

If you are in the right place surrounded by people who care and support you there is a good chance that you will be able to come out of the situation stronger.

However, if your work environment is toxic and you don’t feel supported, that could be one of the reasons nothing you are doing to try to feel better is working and it might be a good time to take some time off and reassess your situation.

And I mean, it might be time to go deeper and understand what you really want and need to live a happy and peaceful life.
