So exactly how much power does the “inner patriarchy” hold in your head? You might be surprised! Manuela Powell helps you tackle all those fears of being too much, too loud, too aggressive, too ANYTHING. As an ex-cancer surgeon, she saw connections between the stress and anger her patients felt every day and the illnesses taking over their lives. Now she teaches women how to free themselves from the inside, outside of a doctor’s office.
Manuela is a life coach for 40+ women who are ready to start living their sparkliest, loudest, most outrageously real years of their lives. After finally getting the memo that she was queer at the tender age of 47, Manuela realized most women could use some help to come out of whichever BS closet they've been stuck in forever. So she took it upon herself to be their soul fluffer.
For almost 20 years, Manuel was a breast cancer surgeon, but after having her second child she decided she wanted to free herself from endless work hours, toxic work environments, and unflattering scrubs, so she put away her scalpel to instead dissect women's minds and help them exorcise the “should”, “musts”, and “not good enough” from their brains forever, so they can be on the outside exactly who they are on the inside, to the horror of the patriarchy police.
Manuela is a native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and after living in New York City, Washington D.C. and Hawaii, she currently calls Austin, Texas her home. As a single mama to her two sons, she dances every day, curses like a sailor who stubbed her toe, and doesn't give a single crap to people who think she should start behaving her age.
