About the Book:

“I am Enough, I am Vulnerable”, my first book.

In this book, I delve into the depths of vulnerability, embracing our imperfections, and discovering the strength that lies within our authenticity. It’s a journey of self-acceptance and empowerment that I hope will resonate with each and every one of you.

I have dared to share some stories from my life with the certainty that vulnerability is a form of bravery and connection with others. I narrate in the first person my experiences as Miss Venezuela 2010 and finalist in Miss Universe; my bittersweet story as the daughter of Portuguese immigrants in Venezuela and as an immigrant myself in the United States; episodes of my love life that led me to severe depressions and to consider suicide; my failed attempt to convert to Judaism; my views on femininity, beauty, sports, health, family, and aging, which led me to freeze my eggs; and finally, my journey through mindfulness and yoga, practices that are now my life project and that I am sharing by teaching others.

Let’s embrace vulnerability and celebrate our own enough-ness.

Sobre el libro:

Soy suficiente, soy vulnerable

Mi primer libro. En l me he atrevido a contar algunas historias de mi vida con la certeza de que la vulnerabilidad es una forma de valent a y de conexi n con los dem’s. Narro en primera persona mis experiencias como Miss Venezuela 2010 y finalista del Miss Universo; mi agridulce historia como hija de emigrantes portugueses en Venezuela y como emigrante yo misma en Estados Unidos; episodios de mi vida amorosa que me condujeron a severas depresiones y a considerar el suicidio; mi fallido intento de convertirme al juda smo; mi visi n sobre la feminidad, la belleza, el deporte, la salud, la familia y la vejez, por lo que he congelado mis vulos; y finalmente mi recorrido por el mindfulness y el yoga, pr cticas que son hoy mi proyecto de vida y que estoy concretando en la ense anza a otros.

Mi nombre es Vanessa Gon alves. Nac en Caracas en 1986. Mis abuelos maternos y mi pap son oriundos de Portugal. Soy odont loga y profesora de Yoga. Vivo en Miami, Florida desde el 2015. Fui Miss Venezuela en 2010 y finalista en el Miss Universo 2011.
