My name is Fernanda, and I’m 31 years old. I’m a new mom, stepping into this next chapter of my life with excitement and uncertainty. About 3 years ago, I started what I believed would be my dream job at a mid-sized law firm as an attorney. I quickly learned it wasn’t the right fit, and the experience led to severe anxiety, major burnout, and a loss of confidence in myself. After a year of trying to “power through,” I came to the realization that I needed to take a step away from law entirely to do some much needed healing. During this time I remembered why being a lawyer has been my oldest dream: to help shape and be a part of positive changes in our society.

I’m raising money for a professional and personal development program that will help me rebuild my confidence to step back into my career in a way that is neither detrimental to my mental health and in pursuit of my dream of changing the world! This program is about finding the courage to return to my purpose.

Your support will help me take this brave step forward. Thank you for believing in me!
