443: Letters to your Dream

Welcome to Brazil, the home of football! Isabella is your tour guide for this episode.

She was born and raised in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo into a family of SE Palmeiras fans. Supporting any other club — especially Corinthians — would have been sacrilegious. Football is a religion in Brazil. It means that much. She tells us all about it. 

There’s so much more to Isabella, like her dream of becoming a sports journalist. For someone as intricate as she is, it can be hard to find something that perfectly captures her. Yet, the movie Almost Famous does so beautifully. That’s why she loves it. Like William Miller, she looks under the bed and it sets her free. Yes, if you look, you’ll find your fears. But you’ll also find your dreams. Isabella refuses to let her fears be bigger than her dreams. And she hopes you do the same.
