Have you always dreamed of creating a more fulfilling life but haven't taken the first step yet? Redefined Life interviews people every week who have created the most interesting lives in the world. We break down how they created their lives and the businesses that make them sustainable. Our guests are entrepreneurs, musicians, athletes and adventurers. Despite the differences in what they have chosen to pursue, they have all created lives of their own design. Don't let their success fool you. They are not superhuman and they have faced the same obstacles as you. During our conversations, we talk about what has made them successful and how they were able to overcome the obstacles, pressures and challenges in their way.

Complete show notes can be found at redefinedlife.com/14
Fernanda Carcamo left a secure job to start a company while she was pregnant with her first child. Surprisingly, she believes this was the perfect time to start a business.
Fernanda grew up in Honduras, went to school in the United States, Denmark and Spain, and has settled in Belgium. Recently, she left a secure job with great benefits to pursue her dream of owning her own company. She turned her dream into reality when she started the food company, Nutrabel. Currently, Nutrabel specializes in gluten free and organic biscuits and crackers but has plans to expand their product line in the future.
In this conversation we talk about key experiences that led to her success, her most valuable lessons, and her outlook on starting a business and a family at the same time.
