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.

About the Host

Originally hailing from the vibrant city of Milan, I’ve spent the past two decades traversing the globe in a quest for spiritual and personal growth and combined with 25 years of international corporate work experience. From navigating the vast landscapes of Australia in a campervan to finding tranquility living in a Buddhist monastery in Nepal, my journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Along the way, I’ve delved deep into Buddhist teachings, yoga, and shamanism, becoming Shamanic Teacher,  Forest Therapy Guide, Esoteric Numerologist, Shamanic and Integral Yoga Teacher and Ikigai Coach. In 2013 I settled in Edinburgh, where  I founded the Art and Spirituality Centre, a social enterprise and the School of Shamanism, where I passionately help others on their own transformative journeys.
