In both Brazilian and American English, 'radiating' is commonly used metaphorically to describe someone's emotional state or positive energy, especially in contexts of beauty, happiness, or success. The term has gained popularity in wellness and self-help discourse. In Portuguese-speaking contexts, while 'irradiando' is the literal translation, Brazilians often use 'brilhando' (shining) colloquially for the same metaphorical meaning.
