Born to Be a Champion The Story of Ronaldo Jacaré,
a story created to inspire children through her husband’s real-life journey of turning challenges into strength.
Larissa lives neurodiversity every day as a mother, a wife, and a professional. And through years of walking this path, something powerful grew inside her:
purpose.
She believes that God never places a dream in someone’s heart if that dream cannot be reached. Nothing in her life happened by accident. Every challenge, every diagnosis, every moment of uncertainty was preparing her for what she is called to do today.
Through her family’s journey, Larissa immersed herself in research, conversations with specialists, structured routines, trial and error, and every possible tool that could help her children feel capable, safe, and understood.
And in the process, she discovered a deep passion:
supporting families who feel lost, overwhelmed, or alone.
Larissa has a rare gift when she looks into the eyes of a neurodivergent child, she sees what many parents cannot see yet.
She sees potential.
She sees strength.
She sees joy.
She sees life.
This is the heart of the foundation.
And the reason so many families feel welcomed, heard, and understood when they meet her.
She has felt fear, uncertainty, and even shame during her early experiences with her children’s diagnoses.
Today, she still feels fear sometimes because a mother’s love is made of courage and vulnerability. But she chooses to walk by faith.
She often tells her children:
“God never makes mistakes not then, not now.”
And she believes He equips, strengthens, and provides the tools we need, even when the path feels overwhelming.
Her prayer for other mothers is simple and full of love:
that in the middle of the chaos the emotions, the fears, the expectations, the unknown you never lose faith.
Faith in God’s care,
faith in His purpose,
faith in His love for you and for your children.
The Superpowers Foundation was born from all of this
from the heart of a mother, the lens of a healthcare professional, and the purpose of a woman who turned her family’s story into a mission for the world.
“Everything I learned inside my home, I want to bring to other families.”
