    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.

    S1 EP16: The outsider’s gift

    In this episode of School of Shamanism, Giada explores a deeply personal and often unspoken part of the spiritual journey: the feeling of not quite belonging anywhere. Building on the theme of walking between worlds, she reflects on what it means to live between the visible and invisible, the practical and the mystical, and the identity tension that can come with it. From navigating corporate life while holding a spiritual path, to feeling “too much” in one space and “not enough” in another, this episode speaks to anyone who has ever felt like an outsider. Giada unpacks why this inbetween space can feel so uncomfortable, touching on the human need for belonging and the subtle ways we shape-shift to fit into different environments. She shares her own experience of hiding parts of herself, and the exhaustion that comes from never feeling fully seen. But what if not belonging isn’t a flaw but a role? Through a shamanic lens, she reframes the outsider identity as a powerful position: the bridge between worlds, the one who sees what others cannot, and the one who brings new perspectives and healing back to the collective. This episode is an invitation to stop trying to fit into predefined boxes, and instead embrace the fullness of who you are, both practical and spiritual, grounded and intuitive. Because true belonging doesn’t come from fitting in. It comes from coming home to yourself.

    S1 EP15: When the body, the soul, and the system collide with Cori Wilkie

    What does it really mean to walk between worlds, not as a concept, but as a lived, embodied reality? In this episode of Walking Between Worlds, Giada sits down with Cori Wilkie, founder of KOA Edinburgh, trauma-informed somatic therapist, and justice practitioner, for a deeply honest conversation about identity, integrity, and what it costs (and gives) to live between very different realities. Cori shares her journey from yoga and Reiki into trauma-informed somatic work, shaped by personal trauma, surgery, and the long road back into the body. Together, Giada and Cori explore what happens when spiritual practice meets structured systems, when soul-led work exists alongside criminal justice, and when freedom and responsibility pull in opposite directions. This is a conversation about: navigating multiple identities without losing yourselfstaying grounded when your worlds ask different things of youtrauma, nervous systems, and listening to the body as truthjustice, compassion, and why “being strong” is wildly misunderstoodgrief, loss, and trusting life even when it hurtsTender, fiery, reflective, and real, this episode is for anyone who has ever felt split between who they are and where they stand.

    S1 EP14: Intuition vs fear: learning to tell the difference

    In this episode of School of Shamanism, Giada continues the theme of Walking Between Worlds by exploring one of the most essential skills on the spiritual path: intuition. After introducing visible and invisible worlds in the previous episode, Giada explains how intuition acts as the bridge between them. It is the subtle guidance system that allows us to receive signals from the unseen while navigating the practical demands of everyday life. Drawing from both shamanic tradition and her own lived experience, Giada reflects on what it truly means to walk between worlds. For many people, this means balancing two parallel lives: the grounded responsibilities of work, family, and society, alongside the quieter inner life of spiritual practice, soul guidance, and intuitive knowing. The episode also explores why trusting intuition can be so difficult. In a world that prioritises logic, proof, and measurable outcomes, intuitive knowing is often dismissed or ignored. Over time, many people learn to silence that quiet inner voice, especially in professional environments where instinct rarely counts as valid evidence. Giada breaks down the difference between intuition and fear, explaining how these two signals can feel similar but arise from very different places within us. She also shares practical ways to begin strengthening intuitive awareness through stillness, observation, and small everyday choices. Because intuition is not something mystical reserved for a few people. It is a natural ability we all possess; the quiet language through which the soul communicates with us, and learning to trust it is one of the most powerful ways we can reconnect the visible and invisible worlds within our lives.

    S1 EP13: Trusting the body’s quiet wisdom with Maria Doherty

    In this episode of Walking In Between Worlds, Giada is joined by the wonderful Maria Doherty - therapist, flower and vibrational essence practitioner and long-time bridge between the NHS and the subtle world of nature-based healing. After nearly four decades working as an occupational therapist with children with additional support needs, Maria shares how her path slowly expanded into Reiki, flower essences, crystal and animal essences, and intuitive work — without ever abandoning her grounded, practical roots. This is a conversation about learning to trust what the body already knows, and about honouring both science and subtlety without forcing them to compete. We talk about walking between institutional healthcare and intuitive practice, working ethically inside the system, and why children and animals often respond first — without explanation, belief, or resistance. Maria demystifies flower and vibrational essences, explains how they’re made, how they work alongside conventional medicine, and why curiosity matters more than belief. Together, we reflect on intuition versus fear, the intelligence of nature, and how tuning in, even gently, even sceptically, can open a doorway to deeper balance. This episode is a soft invitation to listen more closely, trust yourself a little more, and remember that healing doesn’t always shout. Sometimes it whispers.

    S1 EP12: Listening to the invisible

    In this episode of School of Shamanism, Giada turns to the deeper meaning behind the season’s theme: Walking Between Worlds. So far, the conversation has explored fear, resistance, imposter syndrome, and the guilt of choosing yourself. But what is the second world we are walking into? What is the invisible world that so many spiritual traditions speak about? Across ancient cultures, from the Dreamtime of Aboriginal traditions to the Otherworld of Celtic lore and the shamanic teachings of Siberia and the Amazon, there has always been an understanding that the visible world is only part of reality. Alongside the physical realm exists a subtler dimension of energy, spirit, ancestors and guidance. In this episode, Giada reflects on why most of us lost the ability to perceive this world, how children naturally sense it before being taught to ignore it, and how our fast-paced, hyper-material culture has dimmed our intuitive senses. She also shares practical ways the invisible world communicates with us every day: through intuition, dreams, synchronicities, symbols, the body’s sensations, and the quiet messages of nature. Learning to perceive this realm does not require extraordinary powers, it begins with slowing down, paying attention, and rebuilding a respectful relationship with the unseen forces that have always been present. Because the invisible world is already speaking. The real question is: are you listening?
