Conversations with Thais Costa

Today we’d like to introduce you to Thais Costa.

Hi Thais, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
My story began at a point when I realized I needed to find myself again. I’m Brazilian, a wife, and a mother of two boys, and a few years ago, my family and I started a new chapter of our lives in the United States.

After my second pregnancy, I went through a very difficult emotional period. I no longer recognized myself in the mirror, and somewhere between motherhood and all of life’s responsibilities, I felt like I had lost myself.

That’s when I decided to start taking care of myself again. Throughout this journey, I lost about 88 pounds, but my biggest transformation happened on the inside. I regained my confidence, my self-esteem, and the desire to feel alive and good about myself again.

I began sharing my routine and my story on social media and realized that many women could relate to my journey. Today, my purpose goes far beyond weight loss. I want to remind other women that taking care of yourself is not selfish and that it’s never too late to find yourself again and start over.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Definitivamente não tem sido uma jornada fácil. Um dos meus maiores desafios foi aprender a cuidar de mim mesma enquanto também sou mãe, esposa e gerencio todas as responsabilidades da vida cotidiana. Houve muitos momentos em que me senti cansado, desanimado ou queria desistir. Eu tive que aprender que a mudança real não acontece da noite para o dia. É preciso consistência, disciplina, paciência e muito amor próprio. A parte mais difícil não era perder peso era mudar a maneira como eu me via e aprender a me priorizar sem me sentir culpado. Hoje, entendo que cada momento difícil foi parte de me tornar a mulher que sou agora.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Meu trabalho hoje está focado na criação de conteúdo que inspire as mulheres através da vida real, do autocuidado, da maternidade, da confiança e da transformação pessoal. Através do meu Daily, compartilho não apenas minha jornada de perda de peso de 88 libras, mas também as mudanças emocionais que vieram com ela. O que mais me orgulho é da comunidade que estou construindo. As mulheres costumam me dizer que minha história as motiva a começar a cuidar de si mesmas novamente, e isso significa mais para mim do que qualquer número de visualizações ou seguidores. Acredito que o que torna meu conteúdo diferente é a autenticidade. Não quero mostrar uma vida perfeita quero mostrar uma mulher de verdade, com dias bons e dias difíceis, escolhendo a si mesma novamente todos os dias. Meu objetivo é que outra mulher olhe para a minha história e pense: “Se ela pudesse começar de novo, talvez eu também possa.

Any advice for finding a mentor or networking in general?
I believe the best networking comes from genuine connections. What has worked for me is being open to meeting new people, supporting other women, and building relationships without always expecting something in return.

I also believe you don’t necessarily need one specific mentor. Sometimes we learn from different people at different stages of our lives. I try to surround myself with people who inspire me, learn from their experiences, and never be afraid to ask questions.

Most importantly, show up, be genuine, and don’t be afraid to put yourself in rooms where you are still growing. Some of the best opportunities can come from simply making a connection.
