about me
Hi, I'm Giulia
I'm a certified yoga & ayurveda teacher and writer.
Here's my story.
By age 30, I had lived in Milan, Los Angeles, New York and London and had a thriving fashion career.​ By age 33, I was also on burnout number three.
​
Despite being considered successful, I was so disconnected from myself that I could not read the signs of my own discomfort until they quite literally hit me in the face. Although I kept pushing myself to do more, my body couldn't cope.
​​
After experiencing my third burnout – and very first depression – in the summer of 2022, I was forced to pause and look within. The triggers were all there: grief from a profound heartbreak, a draining job, a difficult move home after 15 years abroad, physical exhaustion, and an amount of stress I couldn't handle.
​
For the first time, I really asked myself what I needed. And the simple answer was: something else. I slowly began to understand that the values I always thought defined "success" weren't aligned with who I was. I no longer glamorized overworking, perfectionism, sleep deprivation, the idea of "doing it all" and putting up a façade. None of it worked anymore.
​
All that was left was to rebuild.
​
I spent a year and a half breaking open, and looking for answers through traditional therapy, inner child work, conscious relationships, attachment theory, nervous system work, somatic experiencing, meditation, breathwork, yoga, and the science of Ayurveda.
​
Unlearning is a labour of love, grown from a seed planted in October 2022. By bringing together the people that inspired me in my journey and helped me come back to my true self, and to the values that I now hold dear, I hope to empower you on your own journey of self-discovery.
​
Every week, we'll be discussing the nuanced issues of identity, self-worth, family dynamics, neuropsychology, career, sex, relationships, conscious business, sacred feminine and sacred masculine energies, astrology, human design, and much more.
I hope my podcast, yoga practices and energy work will help you on your own healing path and inspire you to unlearn and relearn for yourselves.
​
Much love,
Giulia x
