In this very special episode of Cawfee Tawk, I take you with me on an emotional journey back to Forza D'Agrò, the small Sicilian town my grandparents once called home. I returned not just as a visitor – but as family. I renewed my vows in the very church where my grandparents were married… the same church made famous in The Godfather. And if that wasn't surreal enough, the town welcomed me with open arms, celebrating my return in the mayor's office like I was one of their own.

I talk about what it felt like to stand beside my father in the place where our story began, how being embraced by a true community reminded me what actually matters, and how moments like this make you rethink the word "impossible." I left Sicily with more than memories – I left with a dream… to one day buy a home in the town that shaped my family. And instead of talking myself out of it, I'm learning to buy into my dreams.

If you've ever wondered what it feels like to go home to a place you've never lived… this one's for you.
