In the Making vs. Becoming - Clara Ferrao

Clara Ferrao is a researcher and psychology scholar who writes about the quiet, often unseen journey of becoming. In her reflective piece on “Making vs. Becoming,” she explores how life is not only about earning roles or reaching milestones but about gradually shaping the self through experiences, challenges, and inner growth. Clara brings this understanding into both her academic and personal life, viewing every step as part of an ongoing process of becoming more aware, grounded, and purposeful. Her writing blends introspection with social insight, and she expresses her thoughts with a voice that is thoughtful, honest, and deeply human.
