During the interview, under the title “Love Without Text,” the broadcaster spoke about the passage of time and the joy of growing up. He celebrated by saying: “I love getting older. It’s not easy, but there are a lot of interesting things. I really like what my life has become.” “I really want to know what I will be like in 20 or 30 years. We have to accept the fact that life passes us by.”
In a light and inspiring conversation, Fernanda shared her own insights on love, the passage of time, and the importance of living each stage calmly and independently.

The program Amor & Sexo, which she presented for years on TV Globo, had a profound impact on her. “It has been a great school in my professional and personal life,” he said. “It made me educated in many subjects that I knew nothing about. With an open heart and love, I understood how to translate everything.”
Currently, in her professional life, Fernanda said she is focusing more on authorial projects. Despite the decrease in media exposure, the broadcaster continues to deal with fame in a natural way and in the process of understanding the audience’s curiosity. “People want to know if I’m having problems like them.”
Relationships
node Metropolis TalksFernanda Lima spoke about the weight of assets and the idealization of loving bonds. “We bring all the signs of our childhood, as we saw our parents, with our pains and our joys. We enter into a relationship full of ideals.”
She also criticized the standards imposed by society: “Many people decide to have children according to guidelines imposed on everyone.” For the people of Rio Grande do Sul, it is essential to understand their own aspirations before realizing them.
Regarding her marriage to Rodrigo Hilbert, Fernanda said: “Despite our differences, together we understand the direction in which life is heading. No one is born ready.” “I think it’s nice that, as a couple, we can reflect each other’s issues,” he added.
Motherhood and menopause
In all honesty, Fernanda spoke about the challenges of motherhood. “I’m a white, privileged woman, but the postpartum period is never easy. No woman goes through it unscathed. I thought, ‘Where’s all the happiness?’ It’s so many things at the same time. Having kids is a whirlwind.
She also questioned the myth of the maternal instinct: “In reality, everything is a construct. The baby is born and we don’t know how to deal with it.”

Currently, with 17-year-old twin boys and a 6-year-old girl, Fernanda spoke about how she deals with menopause and stressed that the topic is still taboo.
“There is a lethargic state, almost like depression,” he said. “It’s a topic that needs to be talked about. Many couples break up.” Regarding her husband’s support during this period, she added: “Rodrigo, with all his curiosity and love, ends up learning with me.”
In her marriage, she values the importance of ongoing dialogue. Calmly, Fernanda believes she has reached a state of balance. “Today, it has evolved into a more peaceful place.”
Luxury
To live well, Fernanda sees aging as an exercise of conscience. In this sense, I found refuge in yoga and meditation.
“We need to take care of our health in the midst of unbridled capitalism. Menopause is a time to stop and look at what is a priority. We need to think about the life we are living. We always need to ask ourselves what we want in the future.”
Fernanda also left a message about the importance of women’s independence. “A woman’s financial and emotional independence means she doesn’t suffer. She knows how to live on her own and then share her life with someone.”

“If we are not love, we are nothing else,” he declared. “It’s a topic I like to talk about, to emphasize, to encourage people to think about, because the world is so complex in so many aspects and I think the root of everything is the lack of love, the lack of self-love, and the way we come into the world unprepared. We have to always save our love instinct,” he recommended.
