Tiradentes was named in honor of Joaquim José da Silva Xavier, better known as Tiradentes. He was one of the leaders of a movement that sought Brazil’s independence from the Portuguese Crown at the end of the 18th century. The main motivation behind the movement was dissatisfaction with the high taxes imposed by the metropolis, especially the “quinto,” which required 20% of all gold production from the colony.

The movement was discovered, and Tiradentes was executed!

And here we are paying 35-40% tax and 8% per year inflation…

This year has been nothing short of life-changing.

I still remember the holidays when I couldn’t be with my family, when I had little to give besides love, and even then, love was enough.

But in spring 2023, I made a decision. I was done playing small, done holding back, done settling for less than I deserved. I chose to believe in myself fully. I spent the summer doing the hard work: learning, growing, sharpening my skills, prioritizing my health, reclusing from the people and places that didn’t serve me, protecting my energy, and leaning deeply into my faith. I knew I had more to give…to myself, to my family, to this life…and I wasn’t going to waste another second waiting for things to change. I was going to grab life by the horns!

And then, in February, everything shifted. An opportunity came my way that changed my life…mentally, physically, geographically, and especially financially. It was the result of every late night, every hard choice, every leap of faith. And let me tell you, it paid off in ways I never imagined.

In just a few days, I’ll be flying home to spend the holidays with the people I love most that I haven’t seen in so long. For two weeks, we’ll gather in a 28-bedroom sanctuary on the ocean, surrounded by wild horses. A space I created for us to reconnect, to celebrate, and to simply be together. My girls, my dad, my siblings, their families, our extended family…my ride-or-dies, all under one roof.

I made this happen. I set us all up to thrive. But more than that, I showed my kids something invaluable: that when you refuse to settle, when you’re willing to take risks and face failure head-on, when you learn to value your time and energy, anything is possible. I showed myself that the stories we tell about what’s “impossible” can be rewritten. Every barrier can be broken. Every limitation can be overcome.

And I’m not stopping here. 2025 is about taking things even further….creating more freedom, owning my time, and building a life that’s truly my own. Detached from the fiat hamster wheel, and board meetings, and 9-5’s. I’m setting myself free.

But right now, it’s about being present. About resting in the gratitude of this moment and soaking up the love and joy that got me here. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that no matter where you start, transformation is possible. You just have to believe in yourself enough to begin again.
