Join me at my kitchen table
in the digital universe!

Welcome! 

Listen to inspiring conversations with thought leaders, experts, and regular-people-being-awesome (including me!) for tools, resources, and nuggets of wisdom to help you thrive. 

Join me, Chiara, former corporate lawyer turned coach as I take a deep dive to discuss all things related to career transition, health + wellness, meditation, mindfulness, mindset, personal development, and spirituality.

We'll also explore what it looks like when the path towards greater meaning and purpose requires leaving your job or your chosen profession altogether. 

You’ll hear from guests who made the leap including how and perhaps most importantly, why they did it. 

If it will help you build a career + a life you love then we are digging into it on this show!

Half pragmatist and half spiritual seeker, join me as I explore these topics in a practical way to help you thrive no matter where you are in your journey!
