Letícia Tórgo spent 20 years building a career in communications, television, and theater production across three countries. She had contracts, credentials, recognition. By any standard measure, she’d made it.
Then she hit 40. And something stopped working.
What happened next is the kind of story that makes perfect sense in retrospect and no sense whatsoever in the moment. She signed up for two astrology courses at once (the teacher said no, she pushed back). Six months later, she had paying clients. Today she’s a Jungian psychotherapist, tarot reader, and astrologer working with clients in four languages across the globe. This conversation is about what it takes to actually make that kind of shift, and why the discomfort you’re feeling might be exactly the signal you’ve been waiting for.
Show Notes
[00:00] The Moment Everything Changed
Leticia describes what Jung called “metanoia,” the crisis that hits around age 40 when the old version of you simply stops working
Despite significant success in communications and television, she felt an undeniable pull toward something new
She pushed her teacher to let her take basic and advanced astrology courses simultaneously, unable to wait a year
[07:00] Identity Death and Resurrection
Jung’s concept of personas: the masks we wear become prisons when we glue ourselves to a single identity
When Leticia announced her career change to her newsletter subscribers, many thought she’d lost her mind
Several clients from her old business followed her into this new chapter and remain clients today
[13:00] The Fear Map You Actually Need
Fear isn’t the opposite of where you want to go. It’s the moat you have to cross to get there
Four zones: Comfort → Fear → Learning → Growth. No shortcuts exist
When you recognize fear as part of the path, you can almost welcome it: “Oh my God, I’m fearful now. So it means I’m on the good path.”
[20:00] Reframing the F-Word
Fear and excitement produce nearly identical physical sensations
The word we choose shapes the experience. “Excitement” moves differently through the body than “terror”
Being an immigrant and being an entrepreneur share the same muscle: learning to draw strength from discomfort
[25:00] Connection Without Performance
Leticia made “lots of mistakes” trying to figure out how to connect authentically online
Her breakthrough: creating a 15-video series analyzing “Women Who Run With the Wolves.” That content still brings clients today
The more you sound like yourself, the more the right people find you. When they unfollow, you’re getting closer to your real audience
[31:00] Mistakes as Marketing
Recording from Italy means wine bottle trucks interrupt videos. She stopped editing those moments out
Making errors in public is becoming a quality signal in an AI-smoothed world
Being different just means being yourself, and astrology shows this even identical twins live vastly different lives
[36:00] Advice for 2026: Slow Down
“If you’re not seeing beauty in your day, it’s because you’re walking too fast”
Our culture is so future-focused we’ve lost the present, which is, after all, already a gift
Routine itself is a ritual. Build more rituals into your business life
