The journey of a doctor who found her inner compass
Origin
I was born in 1994 in Itabira, a small mountain town in Brazil, also the birthplace of poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade. Itabira was simple, modest, and steady. Nothing around me shouted ambition. And yet, desire was taking shape where I least expected, at home.
Life felt ordinary, yet the inner voice grew. That quiet resilience became essential in medicine and writing.
The inspiration
My parents were a young, humble couple determined to build something lasting. They traded short-term comfort for long-term meaning, working overtime, selling vacation days, and saving relentlessly until they could hold the keys to a home of their own.
Medicine and the gaze
I became a radiologist. Medicine taught me to observe, recognize, and interpret. That gaze soon spilled into writing, about desire, about the quiet emptiness so many high performers feel, and about the beauty of listening for an inner voice the world teaches us to silence.
Radiology Observation ListeningA new desire
Education shaped my path, and eventually I graduated in Medicine. Amid the noise of everyday thoughts, a clear want emerged. I wanted to publish a book, not as a credential but as a compass. To name the operative void and point people back to what moves them from within.
My mission today
I am a doctor and a writer. I help people rediscover their authentic desires in a culture that rewards adaptation over truth. This journey I share is also an invitation to explore, together, the uncharted territory of our most genuine wanting.
