When I was a kid, my Mother, a massage therapist, used to teach me about empathy and kindness. My Father, an electrician, taught me logic and science. I grew up balancing my view of the world as measurable and scientific, and, at the same time, lived and felt.

My home country, Uruguay, was a safe place to become an adult. My parents taught me, as they learned, how to earn an honest living. Working hard and staying happy with what one had.

To honor them I played the earth game as clean as I could. Got my degree, bought a house, got married, and adopted a couple of pets.

As I was turning 27 an incredible claustrophobia hit me.

I couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong, but I started feeling unmotivated, depressed. My work didn’t seem fulfilling. My life had turned into a black and white movie.

A question popped up.

“Am I here just to walk the beaten path?”.

For the longest time I had the idea of moving abroad, trying a different life. But how could I? I had “everything”. I would lose my house, my cat, my couch. I loved that couch.

I was stuck in the success trap.

Something within me had a stronger pull though, I wanted to make a difference, help the world somehow.

I gathered all the courage I could muster, left everything behind, and created a new life in Europe.

I studied and made friends like never before. Started carving my own path, one that no one I knew had walked. And, as naturally as buds flower in spring, my purpose blossomed.

“I am here to help people connect to their inner compass.”

While following my inner compass, life transformed in front of my eyes, now I felt I was writing my own story. I got to uncover my deepest values, my strengths, and a new vision for my life.

Since then, I have followed my inner compass, with no exception. My comfort zone is still constantly expanding.

For example this year I went to a meditation retreat in a buddhist monastery, and a few months later I was entering the Amazon jungle to hear the wisdom of indigenous shamans.

Through these adventures I find that my essence is asserted over and over again.

My purpose stays there, unwavering.

I love to share the learnings of my journey because we all have a voice within us that knows better. My sincere wish to you is that you can find it, follow it, and witness your most authentic life unfold.
