S1 EP17: Capturing the moment between worlds with Roberto Ricciuti

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.

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.

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.
