Italian Girl Touch

Life can feel like a whirlwind—deadlines, responsibilities, and the weight of expectations can sometimes dim our spark. But what if happiness isn’t about grand gestures or perfect days? As a woman, journalist, and video maker, I’ve learned through personal challenges that joy often lies in the small, intentional moments we create. From navigating the pressure of breaking newsrooms to crafting empowering videos, I’ve discovered that choosing to see the glass as half full is a powerful act of self-love. The Covid-19 pandemic taught all of us to slow down and find joy in the little things—like a quiet coffee or a heartfelt conversation. And science backs this up: happiness is built through simple, consistent habits. In this  Italian Girl Touch  reflection, I’m sharing ten (and a half!) science-backed tricks to cultivate happiness with minimal effort. These practices, many drawn from my  Free Mindfulness Starter Kit , will help you nurture a positive mindset and thrive, no ma...

In a world that moves at the speed of a scrolling feed, we often find ourselves at crossroads—big and small—where the path ahead feels shrouded in fog.

  As women, we often face workplace challenges that test our resilience—none more disheartening than unprofessional behavior rooted in jealousy.  Recently, in my role as Marketing and Communication Manager, I crossed paths with an older acquaintance whose petty actions attempted to undermine me. Her baseless efforts to portray me as unprofessional to colleagues and leadership were clearly driven by envy—and frankly, more embarrassing for her than for me. I thought I’d left behind these kinds of experiences, the ones you typically face in your twenties when you're just starting out. Yet here I was, a seasoned professional, reminded that ignorance and small-mindedness can persist no matter how far you’ve come. But with experience comes strength. I chose to rise above—with grace, confidence, and clarity. This is a call to all women: stop questioning your worth, release the anxiety, and embrace your inner power to thrive. And of course, let’s lean into sisterhood—that incredible f...

  They say travel is one of the best ways to grow and enrich ourselves—and in my experience, it never fails. Recently, I journeyed to Southern France with the guitar duo I manage-  (the incredibly talented Duo Destino ) - expecting sun-filled days of music, beauty, and light-hearted work. But what unfolded was something else entirely: not just a trip, but a transformation. What started as a smooth run of gigs quickly became an odyssey. After the first performance, our motorhome broke down in the middle of nowhere. Every day that followed was a whirlwind of rescheduled shows, roadside repairs, new accommodations, and logistical chaos. And just when I thought the story was done, after a couple of extra weeks in France, a tyre blew out on the motorway—just thirty minutes from Limoges airport, where my flight home was waiting. Miraculously, thanks to efficient roadside assistance and a frantic taxi dash, I made the flight with only moments to spare. It was chaotic. It was challeng...
