I never needed to prove anything, I felt that nothing held me back from doing anything I set my mind to do. My family didn't have any paterfamilias thing going on. My grandmother was one of the first to drive a car she said. She was a midwife and a really strong and kind woman. My husband has always been supportive of anything I did.

The examples you have in your life are so important. My mother always kept the family budget, so I grew up thinking that knowing how to use money wisely was important. My father pushed me to excel, with the idea that there were no limits to what I could achieve. Both of them encouraged me to get my MBA. My husband has been my biggest cheerleader since then.
What if I hadn't had that? What if I had been taught to believe that my only value was in my body? How different would my life have been?
