POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I was fifteen when I left Italy alone and moved to the United States.
Fifteen!!

A girl with a suitcase, a soul on fire, and a knowing that made no logical sense.

I didn’t have language for my mission yet.
I didn’t know the words “light body,”
“flame architecture,”
“Divine Human,”
or “Solar Feminine.”

I only knew one thing with absolute clarity:

I was meant to lead and teach thousands around the world —
and English was the bridge to that destiny.

So I leapt.

A teenager crossing continents with nothing but intuition, courage, and a whisper from God saying:

“Go. Keep going. You’ll understand later.”

It was one of the hardest initiations of my life.
The loneliness, the cultural shock, the uprooting, the responsibility…

But through it all, something extraordinary happened:

I developed an unshakable relationship with God.
Not as a concept — as a lifeline.

When people later asked why I moved at fifteen, I used to smile and say,

“To learn English and conquer the world.”
wink

Everyone laughed.
But they didn’t know the truth beneath it:

My soul had sent me ahead of time.
I was preparing for a mission I couldn’t yet name.

That leap, the courage, the surrender —
became the silent architecture beneath everything I’ve built.

It was the beginning of my spiritual remembrance, my metaphysical gifts, my path as a teacher, my capacity to trust the unknown, my relationship with the invisible world, my willingness to walk alone before leading many

I didn’t know then that I would one day teach about the crystalline light body.

But the girl who crossed the ocean at fifteen?

She knew.
She always knew.
She just didn’t have the words yet.

And now, decades later — standing on set wearing a crown, shooting a global cover with GOSS Magazine —
I feel her inside me.

That girl who left home alone,
who trusted God through the unknown,
who felt destined for something that didn’t exist yet…

She is the woman I am today.
The woman who is finally speaking the forbidden, metaphysical truths.
Here to bring divinity into humanity.

This isn’t just a magazine cover.
This is my 15-year-old prophecy becoming form.

Thank you mom for showing me what love is & to Shelley & Tina for showing up as their yiayia. Forever grateful for you. 🤍

30 years ago I came to the US from Italy by myself at 15 years old — I knew form the depths of my soul I was meant to lead & teach thousands around the world and English + understanding business would be required… so I leaped✨

One of the scariest and hardest things I’ve ever done. But I knew I had to.

I didn’t know what I would be teaching about quite yet…didn’t know my mission in this life. When later on people asked why I moved I would simply say: “oh you know to learn English and conquer the world” with a wink at the end ;)

Everyone smiled, and commented on my bravery. Yet I still didn’t know why I was here.

But I trusted every step because in this move I had developed an unshakable relationship with God as my lifeline to guide me through the unknowns of a whole different way of life in another country… you can imagine!

That relationship with God and the Universe … is my full life now and the baseline for the business I have built that does impact thousands and soon hundreds of thousands and millions (yes yes yes) around the world.

And living the dream of my 15 year old self, trusting every *wild crazy hard joyful* step on my path — here we are shooting for @gossmagazine with a crown on and in full spiritual evolution yet again!!! Can we have a moment ✨👑

The raw story of the deep spiritual & metaphysical business born from my supernatural life experiences will be shared globally in a whole new way and I am so excited for it!

It feels like a whole new level of coming out into the open saying the forbidden things that have been occulted and labeled heresy for millennia AND tell of the new Light to Flame Solar Goddess knowledge and our crystalline light body physical changes I’ve been channeling in.

You know… Divinity into Humanity. The Starborn Human experience of being alive on this planet in the moment of now in the embodiment of divinity and becoming who we’ve been remembering we actually are 🔥

It’s always somehow scary and exciting to share our missions and experiences from the depths of our souls…and that vulnerability held in honor of who we are becoming.. I am so here for it!!

Here’s to what’s ahead!✨

We started experiencing a lot of anxiety during kindergarten & I just couldn’t accept & normalize that this environment would be my daughter’s education. I’ve worked events & witnessed so many teens with crippling anxiety I know what this seed develops into. I started praying & searching online for another path that would be better for her. I was researching Montessori & magically stumbled onto an article comparing it to Waldorf. I was fascinated with Waldorf’s emphasis on nature, the sacredness of childhood & so much art, music & imagination weaved into every day! There happened to be a charter school 15 minutes from us & we immediately signed-up for their parenting classes which completely transformed our home. We’ve slowed down, take our shoes off outside more & welcome the messiness of curiosity.

What we are loving after transferring to 1st grade at a Waldorf inspired school:

*Family style meals with your class
*Singing blessings on the food & plants
*Tons of outdoor play rain or shine
*Celebrating the rhythms of nature
around a #maypole
*Imagination & hands on learning
*No homework & a shorter day
*Gardening & handwork class
*Foraged flower crowns 🌸

She is only 7 but loving her is transforming my entire world!! In a society focused on rugged individualism she is calling us back to our sacred interconnectedness.

Thank you @wasatchwaldorf for the most magical learning environment & thank you to my beautiful baby who is continually nudging us to grow. I love you forever 🤍
