Como construir pontes sobre os abismos da vida | Ana Claudia Freitas | TEDxParnaíba Women
A vida nos apresenta abismos: o medo de mudar, a dor de uma doença, a incerteza de um novo caminho. Nesta palestra profundamente pessoal e inspiradora, a Dra. Ana Cláudia Freitas, CEO do Cais Hub, compartilha como transformou seus próprios abismos em pontes. Ela narra sua jornada desde o diagnóstico de lúpus na juventude, passando por uma reinvenção radical de carreira, até se tornar uma líder premiada no ecossistema de inovação em saúde mental.
Ana Cláudia revela como a empatia, a coragem de dar "saltos no escuro" e a determinação de "fazer o seu melhor" foram as ferramentas para construir não apenas sua própria trajetória, mas também para iluminar o caminho de outras mulheres. Uma lição poderosa sobre resiliência, propósito e como o empoderamento feminino é, na verdade, uma rede de pontes que construímos juntas.
