There is a growing trend of women who are choosing not to date to invest in themselves. This choice, which can be called a "man detox," has become increasingly common in recent years.

Entrepreneur Leticia Filipim, 40 years old, is an example of this movement. In the last three years, she traveled to Thailand and Africa, spent time living in California, and adopted a nomadic lifestyle.

In addition to traveling, Leticia also lost 10 kg, opened a new business, and dedicated time to courses and spending time with friends. All of this while taking care of her mother, who has health problems.

The article, which is exclusive for subscribers, explores this trend and seeks to understand the reasons why more and more women are choosing this lifestyle change.
