Today we’d like to introduce you to Aline Mercado.
Hi Aline, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I spent 15 successful and fulfilling years in the corporate world, but deep down, i felt called to pursue something more aligned with my true purpose.
In 2020, after surviving a life-threatening experience (kidnapping and rapping) that changed my perspective, I made the courageous decision to leave the corporate world, I felt a deep calling to create a business rooted in purpose – one that empowers women to reclaim their confidence, build self-esteem, and rise into their full potential, while giving back to the community that shaped me .
I’m a professional athlete with over 15 years of experience in weight training, nutrition and I’m black belt in Brazilian jiujitsu and world, Pan-American, National and international champion. I’ve also been the first in the world ranking multiples times.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
To start a business without a partner, from scratch and in a market that’s totally new to me was definitely very challenging.
I believe the main challenge was to build a business without any investors and loans, just using my own financials resources.
Also, to find balance between teaching so many classes, doing office work, helping my clients and my personal life.

What were you like growing up?
I’ve always been very talented for sports and into competition. Growing up I practice judo, swimming, powerlifting and volleyball. I’ve always had the mentality of putting my best effort on everything I do and that led me to a beautiful and successful trajectory.
Always been very interested in learning how the human body works and optimize physical and mental performance through nutrition, physical activity and recovery
But it was only 6 years ago that I really had the opportunity to dedicate time to be a professional athlete on Brazilian jiujitsu,
I’m current the world champion for my category, and also a Pan American, national and international champion.
