Maria Paula Fidalgo

I’m Maria Paula, Peace Ambassador of Brazi, I love this title and I have an even nicer one: Pshyconaut!!! Now, I know what you're thinking—‘Is that like an astronaut?’ Yes, exactly. Except instead of flying to the moon, I explore the endless universe within our minds. Think of it as space travel, but without the need for rockets—just neurons, emotions, and a whole lot of introspection. Plus, it's, of course, way cheaper on fuel!

I’ve been on countless journeys through the psychological cosmos, navigating the terrain of emotions, mental states, and all those sticky, uncharted areas where your ‘inner child’ still throws tantrums. No space suit required, just a sturdy sense of humor and a passion for understanding the human condition.
For 17 years, I had the honor of being the only woman on a popular comic TV show. My role? To use my research on the human soul to create characters that helped millions of Brazilians see themselves with a critical eye—without ever losing the humor. I like to think of myself as a sort of ‘shrink’, but instead of one patient at a time, I had over 18 million at once… and instead of a couch, I had a stage: No deep, heavy therapy sessions, just laughter and lots of fun. 
Maybe that’s why they would come back every week: jokes with reflections hidden between the punchlines?
Yes indeed… We tackled the messy, complicated parts of being human—ego, relationships, emotions, politics—but with a wink and a smile. Because, let's face it, life is ridiculously pathetic sometimes, and if you can't laugh at it, you're missing the best part of the show.
