Digital influencer and former Miss São Paulo, Isabela Crociolli , reveals her journey of adapting to motherhood after the arrival of her son Miguel, born on September 28, 2023. The beauty queen and publicist, who was also a participant in the reality show Game dos Clones, spoke about the obstacles she faces in her new role as a mother and the importance of demystifying the idealization of this moment, highlighting the essential support of her team of pediatricians and her message of perseverance to her followers.
What was the experience of giving birth to your first child, Miguel, like and how would you describe your emotions at that moment?
I confess that it was a unique experience, the first time I was able to see the love of my life! The first few days were not easy, but it is such a great love that “everything can be overcome!” Even the pain of a cesarean section when we have no choice, I had to face the pain of a cesarean section in the postpartum period and go to the ICU for 8 days.
What were the main changes you had to make to your routine after Miguel arrived?
Good nights of sleep are over! The routine changes a lot, everything is based on what is best for him, and then comes us! When we have a child in the world, we learn that we must share everything: “our time”, “food”, “love” and through sharing, everything “multiplies”.
You mentioned the importance of openly discussing the challenges of motherhood. What advice would you give to other mothers who may be experiencing similar difficulties?
Everything that is new takes time to be processed. The new life, new routine, responsibility. It is an extremely necessary change that a woman goes through in her life! Those who are not mothers do not understand or even come close to the feeling and commitment that we have when we build a family.
How do you balance your career as a digital influencer with the new responsibilities of motherhood?
In fact, I stopped for a year, it was difficult to process some of the events that happened along the way. I can say that my family went through many, many trials. Balancing personal and professional life is a daily challenge that we mothers face every day!
How did your experience on the reality show Game dos Clones influence your outlook on life and motherhood?
It was a great pleasure to be with the beloved Sabrina Sato, I’m a fan of Reality’s . Motherhood came to shape the woman that I am!
What are the most valuable lessons you’ve learned so far on your journey as a new mom?
Several, the main one being prioritizing my family. I am in the best phase of my life, as a mother and as a woman. I live intensely in every moment.
How do you deal with the pressure of being a public figure while sharing your personal experiences and challenges?
It’s been a while since I’ve shared very personal information. The internet is a box of surprises, while there are people who support your work, there is another side to the coin. “They are waiting at all costs for an opening to try to diminish you.” It’s a game of chess, so the less information they know, the harder it is to play.
What message would you like to convey to your followers about perseverance and the importance of embracing each stage of life?
“Don’t give up on your dreams, no one ever said it would be easy.”
