Manage episode 516140463 series 3694331
We trace Dr. Manuela Powell’s journey from Brazilian cancer surgeon to U.S. trainee, mom, coach, and entrepreneur, and show how questioning your thoughts can protect and strengthen brain health. We connect identity shifts, rest, and resilience to create a practical path toward an unshakable mind.
• moving from Brazil to the US to requalify
• caring for a father with a rare cancer during USMLE prep
• landing at Sloan Kettering then rejecting a second residency
• sabbatical in Hawaii and redefining identity beyond surgeon
• motherhood, inner patriarchy and reclaiming agency
• stress, immunity and nuanced links to cancer risk
• shifting from perfectionism to experimentation in business
• practical mindset tools to handle failure and ambiguity
• one core principle: don’t believe everything you think
• resources and where to connect with Manuela
