Resources and Community for Women in Tech.

These are some of the books that have inspired me most throughout my career and while writing the book.

If you look at this list as a system, it covers three layers:

Purpose, beliefs, psychology (Frankl, Seligman, Brown).

How we think and decide (Kahneman).

Context and models of success (Huffington, Hochschild, Sinek).

Books

Man's Search for Meaning

Viktor Frankl

Establishes the central concept of individual freedom and purpose. It’s the philosophical foundation of the “why” that runs through the entire book, and the starting point for managing your career from the inside out.

Start with Why

Simon Sinek

Shapes Bloom’s operating framework (Why, How, What). It helps you translate the concept of purpose into concrete career and business decisions.

Flourish

Martin Seligman

Introduces “flourishing” as a goal in itself, not just improvement. It’s key to a sustainable growth approach aligned with well-being and performance.

Dare to Lead

Brené Brown

Offers a framework of vulnerability as a leadership lever. It reinforces an approach rooted in authenticity, in contrast to limiting beliefs and extreme self-demand.

Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman

Underpins the book’s cognitive dimension. It explains how biases and thinking systems affect career decisions, perceived ability, and confidence.

Thrive

Arianna Huffington

Redefines success beyond mere performance. It connects with a balanced approach to professional impact, well-being, and personal sustainability.

The Second Shift

Arlie Russell Hochschild

Introduces the structural and social context of women in the workplace. It adds depth by showing that part of the problem isn’t just internal, but systemic.

Every mentoring session with Mariana is a great life lesson. She makes you think and reflect deeply on things we normally never stop to consides. Things that actually change how we manage our professional careers.

I consider myself very fortunate to have had Mariana's support both during and after the mentorship. Beyond guiding me and offering valuable advice, she connected me with other professionals who had studied the same field, which helped broaden my horizons. From the very first moment, she showed genuine interest in my professional development, paired with an optimistic, approachable attitude. I deeply admire her determination to write a book that's so necessary and that can inspire so many women and girls, the same way she has inspired me. Mariana doesn't just champion the STEM cause, she also works to clear the way for those of us coming up behind her, creating opportunities and encouraging us to find our own path.

Mariana has an uncommon skill: instead of helping you execute what you're already doing more efficiently, she pushes you to question whether you're doing the right thing at all. In our first session, she spotted a risk I hadn't seen — the educational effect of our value proposition and its impact on recurrence — and reshaped my entire business vision in under an hour. She doesn't hand you answers; she asks the exact questions that force you to find them yourself. At this stage, that's worth more than any piece of advice.

Mariana came into my life at a stage when I needed to believe in myself more than I did. She didn't just help me embrace my potential and let go of impostor syndrome, she also helped me navigate the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial path with a clearer head. These weren't just mentoring sessions; they were a safe space where I got to know myself better. More than a mentor, she's become my ‘career therapist.’
