About Fernanda
The woman who notices.
Fernanda Mrugala is a Brazilian author, psychoanalyst, and bilingual forensic family advocate whose work explores the unconscious, creativity, self-discovery, and the human experience.
With a background in cinema and audiovisual arts, psychoanalytic study, writing, and advocacy, she is drawn to what exists beneath the obvious: the detail others pass, the feeling that has not yet found language, and the patterns that quietly shape a life.
Her writing invites readers to become more curious about what they notice—around them and within them—and to meet that curiosity with patience rather than judgment.
What becomes visible when we learn to look closer?
“Curiosity is awareness. And love is patience.”
The Work
Writing toward what has not yet found language.
Some books begin with a question. Others begin with a feeling that keeps returning. Fernanda's work lives in that space between experience and language: the moment we sense there is something underneath what we can immediately explain.
The Poet Zooms In turns that attention outward, toward details, images, and the overlooked poetry of ordinary life.
Your Unconscious Mind turns that attention inward, toward the patterns and repetitions that can shape how we understand ourselves, our relationships, and the lives we are learning to inhabit more consciously.
