This week, I’m re-releasing a solo episode that’s deeply personal to me. For most of my life, I didn’t believe I was smart. School wasn’t my thing—I struggled, I underperformed, and I let those experiences define my self-worth. But as I grew older, I started realizing that intelligence isn’t one-size-fits-all.

In this episode, I share my journey to redefining what it means to be “smart,” how I finally found confidence outside of traditional measures, and why I believe so many of us are more capable than we give ourselves credit for. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, this one’s for you.

Now feels like the perfect time to revisit this story—especially with so many new listeners here. Hope you love it. 💛

Well, well, well… looks like World’s Your Oysta just got a little spicier. In this episode, you get to see a whole new side of Paula (flirty? absolutely. professional? always). I’m sitting down with the magnetic, multi-talented, and impossibly cool Victoria Brito—model, designer, dancer, and all-around powerhouse.

We get into everything—from her rise in the fashion world to the raw, unfiltered truth about success, self-discovery, and making it in an industry that loves to put people in a box. Victoria opens up about love, identity, and what it really takes to own who you are—unapologetically. Plus, we talk about failure, reinvention, and why being bold (in life and in love) is the ultimate power move.

This conversation is deep, inspiring, and yes—just a little bit flirty. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. 😉
