I lost my feet when I was 45 days old. But that was only the first of many waves. Throughout life, I crossed many transitions: becoming a mother of five daughters, building businesses, facing a divorce, finding in the ocean a school of self-knowledge, representing Brazil in parasurfing, and sharing around the world for more than ten years what I first chose to live.

Each of those experiences reinforced the same truth: life is always moving. Growth is not avoiding change, but crossing it without losing who we are.
