Ditching Defaults

A newsletter by Camila Better

I followed the life script I was handed and felt... bored.

​

This newsletter is for those questioning whether the defaults were ever theirs to begin with.

Now we are 350+ people building our own version of freedom.

from the readers

"I trust almost no one writing about money. Camila is the exception. She writes like she's sitting across from you: honest, clear, no performance, no jargon, no talking down, no "get rich" theatre. She says things most people won't tell women about their own money. She made financial freedom feel like something I could build. Definitely worth reading!"

On Ditching Defaults, Camila is helping women build financial freedom before her 40s.

She speaks to the ambitious woman who gives her all to her career and still feels the results should be better. Yet that path has stayed just out of reach.

That’s where Camila stands out.

She helps you see the way, then supports you as you create a success path that fits who you are.

If you’re tired of living by default, Camila is a wise woman to have in your corner.

Camila's newsletter, Ditching Defaults, is the one I actually look forward to reading. She is authentic and funny, and she connects money advice to the bigger systemic picture most financial writers skip. If you are ambitious, a bit exhausted by the default path, and want someone smart and honest in your corner, subscribe.

"I want to say how much I appreciate you combining financial advice with cultural and systemic awareness... This is an undervalued niche: being someone who is adept with financial knowledge and understanding, but also has good awareness and sensitivity of systemic issues."

Camila's newsletter is one I read consistently.

​

She has this inspirational lens that so many of us are searching for: A smart and savvy, empathetic woman who does not accept any preconditions.

​

She consistently approaches life's complexities with the questions: "Why?" or "Why not?" modeling for us how we can do this in our own day-to-day lives, as well.

​

She is patient to anyone's learning curve. She wants to see you succeed; you get that immediately from her, both in her writing and in person.

​

In a world dominated by male gurus telling us how to live our best lives, she is a refreshing female voice. And yes, that is important.

Insightful, warm, and always worth reading. Here's what to expect.

Hi, I'm Camila.

I'm a Brazilian scientist turned financial coach, based in Paris. I left science, rewired my relationship with money, and built a coaching business that beat my old salary in two weeks of going full-time.

​

This newsletter is where I think out loud about money, freedom, and what it actually takes to stop living by default.
