S1 EP21: Breathing beyond the mind with Susana Ramos

In this episode of Walking Between the Worlds, Giada welcomes Edinburgh-based breathwork facilitator Susana Ramos for a rich and energising conversation that weaves together breath, Human Design, and the courage to follow your own energetic blueprint. Susana shares her journey from law to vet nursing to the spiritual path, and how discovering Human Design completely shifted the way she understood herself, especially as a Manifestor. Together, they unpack the five energy types, the difference between initiating and responding, the power of waiting through emotional waves, and why so many of us are trying to live in ways that simply aren’t aligned with how our energy actually works. The conversation also dives into Susana’s trauma-informed, shamanically infused breathwork practice, small, intimate group sessions designed not for dramatic release, but for real nervous system healing. She explains why bigger isn’t always better when it comes to breathwork, and how conscious breathing alone can begin to move you out of your head and back into your body. If you’ve ever felt “too much,” “too fast,” too impatient, too inconsistent, or like you’re trying to force life instead of flow with it, this episode will land.

S1 EP20: The fear of being seen

In this episode of School of Shamanism, Giada explores one of the deepest fears many people face on the spiritual path: visibility. After discussing identity, belonging, intuition, and the experience of walking between worlds, this conversation turns toward the moment where inner work meets the outer world. The point where you stop hiding and allow yourself to be seen. Giada reflects on why visibility can feel so frightening, but this episode is also a reminder that gifts are not meant to remain locked away, exploring how hiding our abilities not only limits us, but also prevents the people who need our work from finding us... Because being seen is not about ego. It is about allowing your medicine to reach the people it was meant for.

S1 EP19: Growing into what you manifest with Nyhallay

In this episode of Walking Between Worlds, Giada is joined by Nyhallay, co-founder of Holistically Secret, for a raw and honest conversation about confidence, manifestation, community, and becoming who you were always meant to be. Chatting from London, Nyhallay shares her journey from self-doubt and people-pleasing to building a wellness brand rooted in integrity, spiritual hygiene, and intentional manifestation. She speaks openly about coming out of a dark period, facing her shadow, and learning that manifesting your dreams also means accepting the tests that come with them. Together, they explore what it really means to walk between worlds, the old life that feels comfortable and the new life that demands courage. They discuss healing chronic conditions, building community in unconventional spaces, attracting aligned clients, and why confidence isn’t about perfection, it’s about self-forgiveness. This is a conversation about stepping out of hermit mode, putting a face to your mission, and trusting that what’s meant for you will meet you, sometimes in the most unexpected places.

S1 EP18: Nature isn’t outside you, it’s who you are

In this episode of School of Shamanism, Giada shifts the focus to one of the most essential yet often overlooked elements of the spiritual path: nature. Following the exploration of identity and the outsider experience, she invites listeners to reconnect with a deeper truth; that if you’ve never quite felt at home in human spaces, it may be because your connection to nature has always been stronger. Giada explores how modern life has distanced us from the natural world, creating a sense of disconnection, anxiety, and imbalance. She reminds us that we are not separate from nature, we are part of it, shaped by the same elements, rhythms, and cycles. From a shamanic perspective, nature becomes more than a backdrop. It is where the visible and invisible worlds meet, where intuition sharpens, and where healing naturally occurs. Through forests, rivers, mountains, and the elements, nature offers guidance, reflection, and restoration. The episode also dives into the teachings embedded in the natural world; cycles of change, patience, interdependence, and how reconnecting with these can shift the way we live, make decisions, and understand ourselves. Ultimately, this is an invitation to step back into relationship with the Earth, not just as a place we visit, but as the very source of who we are. Because when we remember that we are nature, everything begins to realign.

S1 EP17: Capturing the moment between worlds with Roberto Ricciuti

In this episode of Walking Between Worlds, Giada welcomes photographer Roberto Ricciuti, a friend of over a decade, for a deeply reflective conversation about art, transition, and the quiet courage of reinvention. Roberto shares his journey from the structured world of IT in Italy to building a full-time photography career in Scotland. Together, they explore what it means to shift identities, to listen to the creative voice that was once hidden, and to trust the sensitivity that asks to be expressed. They speak about instinct versus technique, commission versus creativity, and whether an artist is someone who creates meaning, or someone who captures it. The conversation moves into themes of memory, immortality, and the responsibility of leaving something behind, whether through images, children, art, or simply the way we live. This is an episode about noticing the light. About catching the moment before it disappears. And about allowing the hidden parts of ourselves to come forward. Because sometimes walking between worlds isn’t about choosing, it’s about reframing.
