Living with a lifelong medical condition is like taking on life's twists and turns with an extra load. It's not always easy, but people dealing with this challenge are like everyday heroes. They show us that no matter what life throws at you, there's a way to keep moving forward.

Valeria sits down with Brazilian-American fashion mogul, beauty influencer, and entrepreneur, Camila Coelho.

In this conversation filled with unexpected twists and remarkable resilience, Camila shares her battle with the heavy stigma that often surrounds epilepsy, the restrictions it imposed and her very first seizure at school made her feel incredibly different from her peers. But what truly shines in her story is her unwavering determination. She takes us through the challenging path of managing epilepsy while pursuing her dream of starting a family.

Camila tirelessly advocates for epilepsy awareness and fights against its stigma. This episode is more than just a personal journey; it's a compelling call for change and compassion. It reminds us all to confront prejudices, embrace vulnerability, and find strength in a supportive community.

  • @Bumblebee0132
    I had this video on in the background while working and could not look away. I’ve followed Camila’s content for years and have always appreciated her humbleness, kindness, and her relatable approach to fashion. This goes to show you never know what someone has gone through. Bravo to her for persevering and the resilience throughout her success. Great video Valeria! You’ve created a welcoming environment in your podcasts! 😊
  • @user-bt8fg9he7y
    I’d love to be able to reach Camila. My husband does research on epilepsy and ways to help people that don’t respond to medication. I know she is a huge voice for the cause in the US and it would be really nice to show her their work!
  • @stokiki4474
    It is great to finally discover an influencer that has epilepsy. Sometimes I can feel alone with my epilepsy. Do you know other influencers to look up to that have it? Thanks. Love ❤️
  • @atvajv8716

  • You are so right about Camilla, I can feel her energy even through the screen! I have only admiration for her journey of strength and resilience and she's a beautiful example of choosing oneself time and again, whatever life throws at you! Dear Valeria, what an honest and intuitive interviewer you are, you truly make your guests shine! I feel my heart expand every time I listen to an episode, but this one was so generous! Thank you ❣
  • @STyLeIshLife
    I love you ladies shared this story. I'm a epileptic diagnosed at 3 months. I also had a healthy son. ❤
  • At the end we see two normal people speaking, inspiring each other and positive❤
  • @learemillieux
    That was such a great podcast, Ive been following camila for years now but never really got to hear her thoughts on life or just sharing personal stories like that. Its really inspiring to see grounded women managing personal life and work with so much grace and this applies to you aswell Valeria 🙏🏻 Love that you started doing podcasts, I’m really enjoying them
  • You are such a confident good speaker. It gets better every time. Greetings from Austria
  • @jani8959
    I always prioritize health over work/university! You can work better when you are well rested anyway. A regular break can make your more productive than working nonstop🤗🤗
  • @sharonakaufman
    Valeria, you are so good at conversation and also so special in holding space. I love you!
  • Such an open and beautiful conversation ❤ Camila really has a beautiful energy✨️

    I’ve been following Camila for years and years, she was one of the people who first got me into beauty, back in 2010. I had no idea about her epilepsy diagnosis until fairly recently and I’m so glad she opened up about it. I too had a healthy baby girl 15 months ago - also on medication, Keppra. It would’ve helped me a lot to see that representation when I was first diagnosed aged 17 in 2010 too. It can be a very isolating diagnosis because you can’t really do much of what everyone else around you is doing and there’s not many public figures who struggle with it. So much love to her ❤️
  • I utterly enjoyed this conversation! You are both such inspirational women! 🤍
