In this episode, Valeria sits down with her dear friend, entrepreneur, and fashion designer Isabela Grutman. They explore the vibrancy of Brazilian culture, the effortless sensuality and confidence of Brazilian women, and the importance of maintaining tradition in a modern world. Isabela shares her journey of building her fashion and jewelry brands, the lessons she’s learned from her husband’s entrepreneurial success, and the realities of running a household with two business-driven partners. The two also get candid about relationships—unpacking dating etiquette, the unspoken rules of marriage, and why the right kind of power in a relationship isn’t about control but about influence. Plus, Isabela reveals the shocking story of a moment that tested her strength and resilience when her family was held at gunpoint in Brazil.
