info_outlineJoin me for an inspiring conversation with my soul sister and fellow Brazilian, Janete Teixeira Parente, as she shares her incredible journey from a small town in South Brazil to becoming a successful business owner in New Jersey. What began as a one-year language-learning trip turned into a permanent move to the U.S., thanks to a series of unexpected opportunities. Listen in as Janete recounts her path from working on a farm as a teenager to meeting a supportive family of doctors who offered her a job, leading her to shift her career focus and eventually establish her own business. Her entrepreneurial spirit shines through, and her story, detailed in her memoir, is one I believe deserves to be a movie.
We also explore Janete's childhood, growing up in a small farm town in a family of 11, and facing hardships like poverty and an alcoholic father. Despite these challenges, her father's emphasis on education and doing good serves as a lasting beacon of inspiration. We reflect on the powerful lessons learned from him, as well as Janete's personal growth and empowerment as a woman. Through her story, she exemplifies resilience, independence, and the importance of sharing wisdom and courage with others. Janete also invites you to connect with her on Instagram and visit her website for more insights into her journey.
