Not because they were invisible to begin with. But because the systems around them were designed that way.
I am a career coach, lawyer, bioethicist, translator, copywriter and former political advisor. That is not a list of credentials. It is how I learned to read power from every angle it operates from: the legal, the ethical, the linguistic, the political, the strategic.
What my clients find is a clear roadmap. Not encouragement. Not a mindset shift. A precise picture of where they are, why the system is not working in their favour, and a strategy to change that, whether inside an organisation or by building something entirely their own.

The pandemic became a major turning point in my life. I realised that everything I had worked for and believed in for decades was, in many ways, a lie.
As a bioethicist and legislative advisor, watching governments and international institutions mismanage the biggest global crisis of our time with such a level of ignorance was too much for me.
In 2022, I quit my job, moved to Paris, and began my solopreneur adventure.
Now I’m based in Barcelona, but as Virginia Woolf once wrote:
"As a woman, my country is the whole world."
why i am here
After arriving in Paris, I launched The Creative Advocate, a Substack publication that began as a space to think out loud.
One day I wrote a story about a 21st century Cinderella. A woman who had spent her career doing everything right and still found herself invisible, still passed over, still waiting for a system that was never going to come through for her.
Halfway through writing it, I realised I was writing about myself.
That moment became the beginning of Betina Cunado Consulting
I built my own solopreneur business from scratch, in a new city, in my fifties, without a manual.
Everything I learned, every mistake I made, and every decision that worked is what I bring to every woman I work with.
Not a methodology borrowed from someone else.
A map drawn from my own experience. So you do not have to figure it out alone.
