We must leave our comfort zone to grow up and discover our potential.
That phrase could not have been more true! So much happened in my life that year.
In 2021, I worked at a job I loved, yet I still felt I wasn’t being recognized (including financially). I knew I had the potential for much more.
Do you identify with this feeling? The awful feeling of working so hard but not seeing results that satisfy you?
I was in Brazil, and one day at night, with my eyes closed, I was feeling so anguished and frustrated.
I made a silent prayer and asked God to show me whether or not it was time for me to resign from my job. Even though I was unhappy, I was afraid to leave the company where I had worked for 22 years. In other words, I doubted myself.
Despite the professional stability I gained while working at that job, I was dying inside. There is nothing worse than feeling like your potential is being wasted.
When I returned home from my trip to Brazil, I immediately changed the message of my vision board to 2022 is God’s Year in my life. And there is no denying that it was. Did it turn out the way I was planning it would? No, there were many surprises!
In May of 2022, I signed my termination with my company.
Getting out of my comfort zone has created a revolution in my life!
- In the Spiritual sphere, I had the opportunity to go on a missionary trip to Kenya. This was a significant milestone in my life, and I came back a different person. I feel that God has poured supernatural spiritual gifts into me.
- In the professional area, I do what I love and use my gifts in one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.
- I became an entrepreneur. Today, I’m the co-founder of Ignite Business. A project that has been in my heart for years, but I was full of fears and doubts. I consider myself a co-founder because, for me, the founder of Ignite Business is God.
For many years, I questioned this project. That was until I heard a loud and clear message from Him saying, “PROCEED! It’s time for you to speak, mentor, and teach everything I’ve taught you!”
I’ve learned that things flow naturally when you move according to God’s plans. They happen without you being able to explain anything.
A good friend of mine, Horlane, told me the day I left that company,
“Ana, now you need to FLOAT. The time has come for you to FLOAT. Let yourself be carried away by THE ACT OF GOD.”
If you are a woman who identifies with my story, if inside of you there is a willingness to do something greater than yourself, and if you want to be challenged to thrive, I would like to invite you to FLOAT with me.
I’ve learned on my journey that we alone can do so little, but together we can do much more.

Much more will happen; this is only the starting point!
This dream doesn’t have to be just my dream. It is something I want to share with you!
I want to build this with you! The brave woman, mother, housewife, single woman, or professional.
Many women are a part of this dream. I want to highlight a few of the special ones that have supported me immensely, each one in a unique way, during this crucial phase of my life: My mother, Horlane, Juliana, Amy, Rosane, Alessandra, and last but not least my talented editor, Rebecca Iwano.
A word that summarizes what I feel for you: LOVE
And let the journey begin. Are you in?
