You started investing in real estate to take control of your financial future and create more freedom of choice and time.
“As the portfolio grows, I want a clearer understanding of what is truly happening across each property I own.”
Lack of Visibility
“I want to build a sustainable business that supports the growth of my portfolio without depending on me 24/7.”
Operational Dependency
“I want a stronger process for making decisions instead of reacting from urgency, pressure, or fear.”
Decision-Making Process
“I want to make sure the business I’m building still supports the life I actually want to live.”
Misalignment
“As I continue growing, I want to be surrounded by women having higher-level conversations and building intentionally too.”
Isolation

"I have acquired over 5.8 million in real estate, sold more than 11 million, and raised more than 1.5 million in capital. Hiring a VA for the first time also gave me back over 2,600 hours, almost three months of my life so far."
My confidence has grown so much as a person and an owner, and while uncomfortable at times, this growth has been worth it.

Financial freedom
It’s the power to do what you want, with whomever you want, whenever you want.
It's about having choices and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your money is working for you, enabling you to live your best life and make a meaningful impact in the world.

Growing up in Brazil, money was a taboo topic, especially at the dinner table. Even after earning a college degree and an MBA, investing felt like an entirely different world. Everything changed when I moved to the U.S. for my second master’s degree and my manager at a door-to-door sales job handed me *Rich Dad Poor Dad*. That book opened a door I didn’t even know existed.
Fast forward, I built a business, got married, started a family, and began building wealth through real estate. On paper, everything looked successful. Behind the scenes, my life told a very different story. After leaving an unhealthy marriage, I had to rebuild, not just financially, but personally.
That experience changed the way I think about freedom.
Over the past 15 years of investing and building businesses, I’ve learned that owning real estate and generating revenue doesn’t automatically create freedom. You can build an impressive portfolio and still create a business that depends on you for every decision, every problem, and every next step.
That’s why STRIVE exists.
STRIVE is for women who are ready to go beyond building the portfolio and intentionally build the business behind it, with the systems, people, accountability, and support needed to create something sustainable.
Because financial freedom isn’t just about how much you own or earn.
It’s having the freedom to choose how you spend your time, where you spend it, and who you spend it with, without your business falling apart when you step away.
Real transformation happens when you stop relying on yourself and start surrounding yourself with support system that challenges and grow with you.

While others tell you WHAT to do, STRIVE goes beyond and gives you access to WHO to do it with.
"I have very good friends but they don’t understand me like these women do."
Since joining STRIVE in 2020 I became a real estate broker, added 7 doors, flipped 12 houses. Hiring a bookkeeper, CPA, transaction coordinator, cleaner, property management software, a real estate team, and a handyman has saved me 25 to 30 hours a month. I have made lifelong friends and women I would do business with. We have shared attorneys, property managers, strategies, spreadsheets, and deals. My confidence as a leader has grown, and I am bold enough to say, ‘I am an expert’ in my field.

We added 29 long term single-family properties, 6 flips, and 11 partnership deals (46 in total ) and increased cash flow by over 26%.
I have connected with members who help answer my questions, suggest scenarios, check on me, and encourage me. I learned to speak up more and express myself, which brought serious breakthroughs in myself, my business, and how I look at situations. I don’t feel guilty taking time for myself anymore. I have more time with family, my grandkids, and my garden. This is why I always say STRIVE saved my life.
