We recently had the chance to connect with klara Annibal and have shared our conversation below.
Hi klara , thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What is a normal day like for you right now?
I usually like to start my day early—either by taking a walk in the park or spending some quiet time meditating and practicing Tai Chi. It’s important to begin the day feeling aligned with both myself and the environment.
After that, I dive into work. I stay focused until my professional tasks for the day are completed. I take a short lunch break, often using that time to read—mainly to give my mind a break and return to work feeling refreshed. Depending on my mood, I might read or write during this time.
I aim to finish work around 4 PM, unless I’m dealing with a heavier workload or urgent tasks. My afternoons are usually dedicated to volunteer projects or commitments I’ve made to organizations, associations, or individuals who need my support.
Evenings are reserved for activities that help me wind down—like working out, reading, watching movies, sewing, or anything else that feels right in the moment.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Klara Annibal, and I am the proud mother of two wonderful young adults. I studied midwifery and public health, driven by a lifelong passion for women’s health and well-being. Growing up in a family where women were the strong pillars of our community, I learned early on just how vital a woman’s role is—both within the home and in society. That understanding shaped my deep interest in supporting women, listening to their stories, understanding their needs, and assisting them in making empowered choices.
This year marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter as I stepped into entrepreneurship. I’m proud to be the owner and agency director of Let Mommy Sleep, a franchise committed to supporting new mothers during the postpartum period. This transition has been incredibly fulfilling. Our mission is to help women heal from childbirth and ease back into daily life—with the reassurance that their baby is in the hands of a certified overnight care provider during this critical time of recovery.
We know that proper rest after birth is essential for a woman’s physical and mental health. Unfortunately, in today’s urban environments—where many families are isolated from extended support systems—it’s not always possible to rely on mothers, relatives, or traditional caregivers. In many cultures, postpartum care and rest are deeply embedded practices, because the benefits are well understood: from preventing postpartum depression to supporting long-term wellness.
I believe every woman deserves access to this kind of care. Let Mommy Sleep is more than a business—it’s a continuation of my commitment to support women during one of the most transformative times of their lives.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
I’ve been in touch with who I am for a long time, but for many years, I was afraid to express myself. In my culture, a woman is often expected to be discreet—present and strong, but silent. That silence was something I carried for a long time, even as I understood my inner strength and clarity of purpose.
Over time, I’ve learned to allow myself to be visible—to step forward and be seen for who I truly am. I’ve come to understand that expressing myself is not only valid, but powerful. Through advocacy and community engagement, I’ve also discovered the importance of giving voice to women in underserved communities—especially those who, like I once did, feel they must remain quiet in order to be accepted. It’s been a journey of reclaiming space, honoring my truth, and empowering others to do the same.
Do you remember a time someone truly listened to you?
I remember the first time someone truly listened to me—not just to my words, but to the silence between them. They weren’t trying to offer advice or fix anything. It was simply about presence. Their eyes didn’t look away, their attention didn’t drift. In that moment, I didn’t feel invisible. I wasn’t the woman expected to stay strong but silent. I was simply me—seen, heard, and understood.
That experience taught me something profound: the power of being heard. It’s what inspired me to create space for other women, especially those who just need someone to listen. Sometimes, that’s all it takes—to be present, to hold space, to allow the words and the pauses to unfold.
This kind of attentive listening is especially important in urban environments, where everything moves so fast and silence is often overlooked. Giving women the space to speak, reflect, and simply be—in the present moment—is not just a kind gesture. It’s a step toward healing. And healing begins when we feel safe enough to be heard.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes, my public identity and my true self are fully aligned. It is important to me to be seen for who I truly am—not as a role or a title, but as a whole person. I am proud of the woman I have become over time—proud of my origins, my culture, and the values my family instilled in me.
I grew up in a different environment—and I would say, a different time. Human connection, relationships, and community were at the heart of everything we believed in. And beyond that, there was always a deep respect for the spiritual aspect of life and the universal laws that guide us.
Through every stage of life, I have never felt the need to hide or apologize for who I am. As an Afro-descendant woman, I stand firmly and proudly in my identity. I move through the world as a person grounded in love, community, and the deep desire to share and uplift others. Above all, I am a human being—loving, present, and committed to living in truth.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Being praised has never been the goal for me. Recognition is not the end result—it’s the values, beliefs, and the person you choose to be that truly matter. These are the things that guide your passion and shape your purpose in life.
I’ve always traveled and lived far from my family, and from a young age, I learned not to expect anything from anyone. Instead, I focused on doing what feels right—what aligns with who I am and what brings me peace and fulfillment.
Today, I can say with confidence that my children are the engine behind everything I do. My work, my choices, my determination—they’re not driven by a desire for praise, but by the hope of inspiring them. I want them to know that no matter what others say, we can achieve what we put our minds to. I’ve learned that children don’t follow what we say—they follow what we do.
That’s why everything I do in life is intentional. It’s not about being admired—it’s about opening the door for my children and the other young people in my family to dream bigger, to believe in themselves, and to know that yes—it is possible. And that who you are is enough.
