S1 EP26: Coming home to the body

In this penultimate episode of Walking Between Worlds, Giada turns our attention to one of the most overlooked aspects of the spiritual path: the body. While many seekers focus on the invisible world, true spiritual practice requires us to be fully present in the physical one. The body is not an obstacle to enlightenment, but the bridge between spirit and matter, the visible and invisible, heaven and earth. Join as we explore the body's innate wisdom, its role in intuition and healing, the importance of grounding and why learning to listen to the body may be one of the most powerful spiritual practices of all. Your body is not something to overcome, it is something to come home to.

S1 EP25: Money mindset and the courage to grow with Joanna Crow

In this episode of School of Shamanism, Giada is joined by Joanna Crow, founder of Mindful Money Ltd, for a conversation that bridges spirituality, money, and personal wellbeing. Joanna shares her unique path of walking between several worlds: running an accountancy and bookkeeping practice, supporting clients through money coaching, managing an online wellness business, and caring full-time for her neurodivergent son. Through these experiences, she has developed a holistic approach to finances that connects money, mindset, health, and purpose. The discussion dives into the psychology behind financial behaviour, particularly the concept of money personalities: the patterns and beliefs that shape how we earn, spend, save, and grow wealth. Joanna explains how these patterns show up in business, why some people naturally organise their finances while others struggle with money flow, and how recognising these traits can shift financial outcomes. Giada and Joanna also tackle a topic many spiritual practitioners wrestle with: the discomfort around charging for spiritual work. They unpack why money often feels taboo in spiritual communities, how undercharging can lead to burnout, and why financial expansion can actually support greater service to others. Throughout the conversation, they reflect on self-sabotage, fear of success, and the energetic relationship we have with money, highlighting how transformation can begin simply by changing the conversation we have about it. Because when we heal our relationship with money, we don’t just change our bank balance, we expand the way we show up in the world.

S1 EP24: Making friends with death

Death is one of the few certainties in life, yet most of us spend our lives avoiding it. In this episode of Walking Between Worlds, Giada explores death not only as a physical ending, but as an essential part of transformation. From the loss of relationships and identities to spiritual initiation and ego death, discover why every meaningful change requires something old to fall away. Together we'll look at grief as a sacred process, the lessons hidden within endings, and how learning to surrender to life's inevitable cycles can deepen your spiritual path. Death is not the opposite of life. It is part of life itself.

S1 EP23: Choosing simple in a world that wants more with Amy

In this episode of Walking Between the Worlds, I’m joined by Amy, founder of Good Vibrations Northeast, based between Durham and Newcastle. What began as a personal struggle with anxiety, panic attacks and depression became the catalyst for something much bigger, a full-day wellbeing event held at the beautiful Beamish Hall, bringing together movement, inspirational talks, healing practices and community. Amy shares openly about reaching breaking point, questioning the “just take the tablets” approach, and deciding to try everything, therapy, mindfulness, movement, nature, books, community, until something began to shift. We speak about burnout, the pressure to always be busy, social media overwhelm, and the courage to choose a slower, more intentional life. We explore the balance between solitude and community, the healing power of being barefoot in nature, and the simple but powerful question: Do I really need this… or do I just want it? This is a conversation about reclaiming your energy, simplifying your life, and remembering that self-care is not selfish, it is essential. P.S. the event on 21st June has unfortunately been cancelled in the meantime. We hope to see it again soon  Connect with Amy: * Website: www.goodvibrationsuk.co.uk [https://www.goodvibrationsuk.co.uk/] * Instagram: @goodvibrationsneuk [https://www.instagram.com/goodvibrationsneuk/] * Facebook: Good Vibrations [https://www.facebook.com/people/Good-Vibrations/61552075752143/] Connect with Giada Gaslini: * Website: www.schoolofshamanism.co.uk [http://www.schoolofshamanism.co.uk/] * Instagram: @‌schoolofshamanism [https://www.instagram.com/schoolofshamanism/?hl=en] * Facebook: School of Shamanism [https://www.facebook.com/schoolofshamanism/?locale=en_GB] * Youtube: School of Shamanism [https://www.youtube.com/@Schoolofshamanism] About the Host Originally hailing from the vibrant city of Milan, I’ve spent the past two decades traversing the globe in a quest for spiritual and personal growth and combined with 25 years of international corporate work experience.

S1 EP22: Walking between worlds while you sleep

In this episode of School of Shamanism, Giada steps into one of the oldest and most mysterious gateways between worlds: dreams. While modern culture often dismisses dreams as meaningless brain activity, shamanic traditions have long understood them as journeys into the invisible world. Places where guidance, symbolism, ancestors, spirits, and deeper truths can be accessed beyond ordinary waking life. Giada explores the role dreams play on the spiritual path, different kinds of dreams we experience, from emotional processing to true spiritual journeys, and why modern society has become disconnected from dream work. Throughout the episode, Giada shares ways to strengthen dream recall, because every night, whether we remember it or not, another doorway opens.
