👉 In this episode, you will reflect on:
LIVING 40 YEARS ON AUTOMATIC: How the fast pace of the corporate tech world consumes you without leaving time to think about purpose — and how at 40 she began to question everything after reading the book "Slow" by Carl Honoré.
MICROSOFT IN THE 90s WAS THE GOOGLE OF TODAY: The behind-the-scenes story of the birth of the internet in Brazil (1999), when she worked in the Internet Customer Unit, and what it was like to work at the most desirable company of the time.
BILL GATES AND THE SILENCED HARASSMENT: The shocking story of when Bill Gates touched her inappropriately during a corporate party — and how the president of Microsoft Brazil ordered her to "forget about that story" for fear of the consequences. Why she remained silent for decades.
THE BRUTAL MACHISMO OF THE 80s/90s: What it was like to be an engineer and then work in sales in a world dominated by men — "we kept quiet, played dumb to survive."
I QUIT MICROSOFT AT 55: The courageous decision to resign from a million-dollar career, full of awards and recognition, to seek a life with quality, values, and purpose. How she financially planned to live until age 90.
MENOPAUSE: THE TABOO THAT BECAME A MOVEMENT: Why our grandmothers "didn't have menopause" (they did, but didn't know how to name it) and how sharing her experience on Instagram helped thousands of women understand this phase.
THE 5 PILLARS OF LADY BOOMERS: The concept Silvia created for women 50-60+ to reinvent themselves: physical health, mental health, spirituality, financial health, and friendships/relationships.
14 YEARS OF SPIRITUAL SEARCH:* The journey that took her from Buddhism to Kabbalah, from Spiritism to Catholicism — and how at age 59 she reconverted to Catholicism after discovering Frei Gilson during the pandemic.
"I DIDN'T HAVE CHILDREN, BUT I HAVE 7 NEPHEWS AND NIECES": An honest reflection on how dedication to her career impacted her personal life — and why today, seeing her friends becoming grandparents, she feels something she never felt before.
AI WILL NEVER REPLACE THE SOUL: Why artificial intelligence can process data, but will never have intuition, virtues, a soul, or the human capacity to love and serve. "That is divine, it is supernatural."
SLOWING DOWN IS NOT STOPPING: Why the "professional disembarkation" needs to be rethought from 50-60 to 70-80 — planning a long, active, and purposeful life.
