Hey, welcome to the Accent Effect, a podcast about turning your voice and your story into your biggest strength. Here, I'll be talking to entrepreneurs, creatives and leaders from around the world, people who use their voice and their authenticity as their superpower. I know what it's like to build a life and a business in a language and culture that isn't your own.

And that's exactly why the Accent Effect was created, to help your voice stand out in a world full of noise. This podcast isn't about perfection or pretending. It's about real stories, bold moves and celebrating the power of showing up exactly as you are.

Each episode will leave you with insights, relatable stories and practical tools to grow your business and your confidence. My goal is to help you find your voice, own your story and use both to build something powerful. I'm Amanda, I'm from Brazil, now living in Puerto Rico and always exploring the world.

This is the Accent Effect and let's begin.
