    S2 EP15: The sacred in the ordinary

    What if the ordinary moments of your day could become sacred? In this episode, Giada explores the power of everyday rituals and how simple acts, performed with intention and awareness, can transform the way we experience our lives. From your first breath in the morning to making tea, crossing the threshold of your home, eating a meal, and preparing for sleep, these small moments can become pauses that reconnect us to ourselves, to nature, and to something larger. You don't need elaborate ceremonies or special objects. You simply need to be present.

    S2 EP14: Japanese art as healing with Kanae

    In this episode of Many Paths, One Mountain, Giada is joined by Japanese artist Kanae, who shares how calligraphy, origami and creative expression can become powerful pathways to healing. Together, they explore the Japanese concept of wa - harmony, and how calligraphy can help us let go of perfection, express ourselves and become fully present in the moment. They discuss the healing power of creativity, why everyone is an artist in their own way, and how making space for mess and experimentation can help us release emotions that have been kept inside. Kanae also opens up about her personal experience of using art to understand and express her OCD, and how creativity helped her move away from shame and towards acceptance. The conversation also explores Japanese traditions, our connection with nature and the seasons, and what modern life can teach us about slowing down and reconnecting with what truly matters.

    S2 EP13: Finding your own path

    In this episode of Many Paths, One Mountain, Giada steps back from the individual practices explored throughout Season 2 to ask a bigger question: what connects all these different paths to healing? Drawing on her own journey through shamanism, yoga, numerology, forest therapy, meditation, creativity and other spiritual practices, Giada explores the common threads beneath them all: presence, connection, energy, transformation and a relationship with something beyond the individual self. But with so many traditions, teachers and practices to choose from, how do you know which path is right for you? Giada shares why you don’t have to choose just one path, while also emphasising the importance of going deep rather than simply collecting practices. Most importantly, she explores the idea that authentic teachers should ultimately point you back towards yourself, because the authority for your own life cannot be found entirely outside of you. A reflection on finding your own way, honouring the traditions that came before you, and learning to trust your own intuition as you walk between worlds.

    S2 EP12: Trust the practice and just allow with Stephen Whitehead

    In this episode of Many Paths, One Mountain, Giada is joined by Stephen Whitehead from Happy Trees Yoga to explore the many paths that can lead us towards healing, greater awareness and a deeper connection with ourselves. Stephen shares his journey with yoga and meditation, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how starting with just a few minutes a day can create meaningful change. They discuss the mind’s tendency to create anxiety about the future, the role of breath in calming the nervous system, and simple techniques such as box breathing. They also explore how meditation can influence every area of life, from relationships and work to creativity and music, and why the key is not forcing transformation, but learning to trust the process and allow it to unfold.

    In this episode of Many Paths, One Mountain, Giada explores energy as the life force that connects us to ourselves, each other and the world around us. She explains how different healing traditions work with energy, why our emotions and experiences can affect our energetic state, and how practices like grounding, energy clearing and soul retrieval can support a deeper sense of wholeness.

    S2 EP10: The many ways we heal with Natalie from Tending Your Spirit

    In this episode, Giada speaks with Natalie from Tending Your Spirit about the many paths we can take towards healing, self-discovery and personal growth. They explore what it means to truly know yourself, how we can lose parts of ourselves through other people's expectations, and why the people and experiences that trigger us can become powerful mirrors for deeper self-awareness. From trusting intuition and taking leaps of faith to learning when to stop, rest and wait, this conversation is a reminder that we don't always need to have the answer. Sometimes, we simply need to find our centre and trust the process.

    S2 EP9: Creativity: spirit moving into form

    In this episode of Many Paths, One Mountain, Giada explores creativity as more than art, talent or career. She shares how creating can become a spiritual practice, a way of connecting with something greater than ourselves, moving stuck emotions, accessing the unseen and returning to a deeper sense of aliveness. From writing and painting to dancing, cooking and simply letting the hands move, creativity becomes a path to healing, presence and self-expression.
