I’m Duda Anderson,
Certified Adult Chair® Coach.
Hi!
I’m so glad you’re here.
I was born and lived in Rio, Brazil until I was 31.
I got used to living in fear, with old patterns and misbeliefs that I thought were protecting me.
For many years, I dwelled with decisions and worry. I did not believe in myself. I felt ashamed.
In 1999, I was traveling around Europe for the first time and met the love of my life in Prague. What a strange coincidence: a Brazilian woman meeting an American guy in Prague. We danced all night in a dance club and watched the sunrise at the Charles Bridge. It was magical!
I was so present at that moment.
We said our goodbyes, and I continued my trip through Europe. A week later, we communicated via email and decided to meet again. I returned to Prague. I was on the train on my way to the Holsevich station where we were supposed to meet at 9:33 p.m. I was coming from Belgium, and it was an 11-hour trip by train. Something unexpected happened. (Some people say change is the only constant in life.) This is so true!
My visa to Prague had expired, and I did not know. The Czech policeman asked me to get off the train since I did not have a valid visa. With no cell phones or social media in 1999, I had no way to tell Scott what happened. I missed the train. But I did not miss my dream.
I worked out another visa. I waited another three hours for the next train. When I finally arrived at the Holsevice station, it was 1:00 a.m. No one was there. In that moment, a courageous part of me decided to keep going and looking for this guy who somehow I believed to be the one for me. The stars were aligned that night with energy and intention. At the moment, I didn’t know this, but Scott kept looking for me in every train station and in the empty streets of the city.
That night, there was so much passion in my heart, so much courage and no space for fear and doubts.
We found each other at 2:30 a.m. in a small cobblestone street in the middle of old Prague.
We have been married for almost 20 years now and have a 14-year-old son.
When we got married, I left my home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and moved to the U.S. This was a huge and hard transition. I left behind my family, friends and a career that I loved to start over in another country and another language. Through the years, I faced fear, worry and loss of identity. I lost my courage. I felt stuck and lacking passion.
Becoming an Adult Chair® Coach has inspired me in so many ways on my journey to happiness.
It helped me to regain confidence, awareness and transform into a healthier version of myself. It helped me heal the shame, worry and limiting beliefs I carried from childhood and to remember the woman I was in Prague, shine my inner light and walk my illuminated path.
Now, through deep inner work, meditation and The Adult Chair® model, I help people release their limiting beliefs, shed their fears and build confidence.
