Paula does not separate discipline from intuition, or ambition from inner balance. Her way of living is built on movement, self-observation, and the ability to evolve without losing her core. From small-town roots to international experiences, from physical well-being to mental clarity, every choice she makes reflects a deeper understanding of what truly matters. Honest in her views and precise in the way she moves through life, Paula speaks about growth, resilience, happiness, and creating success on her own terms.
What is your daily routine like, and which habits do you consider essential for maintaining your productivity and well-being?
My routine has been shaped over the years according to what makes sense for my body and mind. I was vegetarian for eight years, but today I follow a different lifestyle, one that is more aligned with what my body asks for at the moment. For several years, I have practiced intermittent fasting, I take electrolytes daily, and I truly value habits that help me maintain energy and clarity throughout the day. I also place a lot of importance on low-impact exercise because I believe movement does not need to be exhausting in order to be effective.
In addition, I feel deeply connected to everything related to energetic balance, so I enjoy listening to frequencies such as 852 Hz and 528 Hz, which give me a sense of grounding and well-being.
Over the last two years, my main goal has been to align nutrition with mental health. I have come to understand that being healthy is not a straight line, but a constant commitment to balance between the mental, physical, and energetic.
What were the biggest challenges you had to overcome throughout your life, and what strengthened you the most in that process?
My life has always been marked by challenges, and I believe they have taught me a great deal about resilience and adaptability. I come from a very small town, the kind where the horizon feels close and the nearest airport is 200 kilometers away. My biggest challenge was not logistics, but social transition. Leaving that bubble of small-town innocence and learning to deal with the complexity of the world and all kinds of people was a necessary reality check.
Unfortunately—or fortunately—I still carry with me that dreamy and simple small-town essence. I had to learn, in practice, how to read intentions and protect my energy without losing empathy. Each challenge was not just an obstacle, but a step that forced me to mature and expand my worldview.
At times, those experiences make us lose a little innocence because we have to learn to observe more carefully, protect ourselves more, and better understand people’s intentions.
I still carry that with me in some way, but today I see it as part of my strength. I learned how to transform difficult experiences into awareness, maturity, and intuition. In the end, all of this helped me become a more observant, stronger, and better prepared person for the paths I chose to follow.
How do travel and international experiences influence the way you see the world and adapt to different environments and cultures? With so many international experiences, how do you deal with different cultures, and what fascinates you most about these exchanges?
I am a very adaptable person, and I deeply enjoy getting to know different places. I have a natural ease in connecting with the environment I am in, so when I am in a metropolis, I automatically enter that faster, urban, and cosmopolitan rhythm. When I am in the countryside, my energy changes completely, and I connect with a lighter, calmer, and more introspective frequency.
I enjoy observing cultures, feeling the energy of each city, and understanding how each environment awakens a different version of me.
For me, traveling goes far beyond visiting tourist spots. I like doing things like a local, meeting people, making friends, asking interesting questions, and connecting those stories to history.
And the truth is, I have a sort of problem in that I often travel back to the same places instead of discovering new ones because I like to go deeper and truly feel a place.
Many times, I do not constantly search for information about the places I visit, but I do like to live them and experience them fully.
For me, it is about expanding my worldview, learning from people, customs, and differences. Each international experience adds something new to me and reinforces the idea that our identity can be multiple without ceasing to be authentic.
What do success and happiness mean to you today? Has your view of what truly matters changed over time? Today, what makes up your definition of success and happiness?
Throughout my life, I have had many different definitions of success and happiness. When I was a teenager living in the countryside, I saw those words in one way. Then, during the transition into adulthood, they came to mean something entirely different.
Today, I understand that success has much more to do with your values and with what makes you happy in your daily life than with the appearance of achievement or isolated milestones, in a way that leaves me at peace with my choices.
I have also learned that it makes no sense to live only to meet other people’s expectations because everyone defines success differently.
When I started listening more to my inner voice and valuing what truly matters to me in each stage of life, I felt more complete and fulfilled.
I believe happiness lies much more in the process than in an ending point. Life changes, we change, and our priorities change too. That is why I believe it is important to be adaptable without losing your essence.
For me, happiness is not a trophy or a specific status, but the satisfaction of being at peace with my choices at every stage of life.
You need to be adaptable in order to evolve, but clear enough not to get lost in the confusion of other people’s opinions. And also to understand that you will not always have everything you want, but if you are happy along the way and aligned with what makes you feel fulfilled, then you are okay.
So happiness and success are completely individual concepts. In the end, if you are at peace with your choices, you have already arrived.
