Sorry not sorry. The power of our words. 💥🗣️ Mi dispiace ma non troppo. 😂 Il potere delle nostre parole.
If you’ve known me for a while, you know that Piemonte, the region in the northwest of Italy “between Milan and France,” where my mother is from and where I grew up during the formative years of 8 to 18, is a main part of my identity. These are known internationally as the hills of wine, truffles, and they are much more: it’s all about the utmost care in the quality of produce, and the quality of life. It’s very important for me to share this part of my roots with my husband and kids. And I’m very grateful to @casadilanga for hosting us. This hotel, located in the Alta Langa (500 meters above sea level), has achieved a mix of modern aesthetics and finishes with local tradition, with a strong emphasis on sustainability reflected in every detail. I’m also profoundly inspired by their permaculture philosophy, every vegetable and fruit we eat comes from their stunning garden. Save this if you are looking to discover Italy in its most authentic form 🌺 #suppliedby 🩷

Quelques mots sur mes racines. Dans 📕 Petit Traité D’Autodéfense Émotionnelle que j’ai écrit avec l’expert en intelligence linguistique @paolo.borzacchiello et publié par @editionsplon, je raconte des histoires vraies de mon enfance pour que mon expérience soit utile à des jeunes gens qui traversent les défis émotionnels quotidiens que nous vivons tous. Merci à tous les lecteurs qui m’écrivent.
My daily go-to routine: a few easy steps to depuff and boost skin’s natural radiance, that I learned with face fitness platform @bovisaj. Thank you @chrissingerme @karinsinger_mylane loved seeing it through your lens ✨
The first-ever Funtasia educator capacity building is happening in my adopted home, Los Angeles, California, and it’s supported by the dreamiest partner, the pioneering UCLA School of Education and Information Studies! We’re so thrilled and grateful for this opportunity and would like to thank Tina Christie, the Dean of Education, Associate Dean Annamarie Francois, and Senior Director of Development Amy Lassere for making this a reality. We’re also deeply touched by the warm welcome, especially with the training and waitlist selling out in less than 24 hours! We can’t wait to meet the amazing teachers of this first cohort who will join us for a world-tested training that equips adults with confidence, emotional management skills, and innovative tools for creativity and character development. Developed by experts with over 40 years of experience, and tested in 5 countries and 4 languages, this program focuses on crucial life skills, building team synergy with educators and professionals like artists, and enhancing communication through neuroscience-backed insights on linguistic intelligence.
Un’avventura iniziata un paio di anni fa che continua ad evolvere ed a regalarmi magnifiche emozioni, connessione umana, scambi. Grazie a tutti voi per questo viaggio insieme. Ed è solo l’inizio. Cumpà @paolo.borzacchiello tu sei mentore e ispiratore!!! /// An adventure that began a couple of years ago that continues to evolve and gift me magnificent emotions, human connection, exchanges. Thanks to all of you for this journey together. And it’s just the beginning!
We’ve all experienced it. Those subtle, aggressive, or passive-aggressive comments that somehow have become ‘normal’ in our schools and daily lives. But just because it’s common doesn’t mean it has to stay this way. Through social and emotional education, we can change how we communicate, transforming the quality of our interactions, and create connection rather than disconnection. We can be kinder, and more respectful. Let’s challenge these norms and create a world where everyone feels heard and valued. This is why @funtasia was born.
Normalised, everyday microbullying: sharing some experiences I had it with it and reflections. Personal, yet they might resonate with your own experiences. Laughter is a gift of connection and intimacy, but can also cause disconnection and insecurity.
Hands down, one of the best days of my life. The first in-person Funtasia training in the USA, and what a group of teachers! These educators are dedicating their lives to inspiring the next generation with creativity, empathy, and care. Hearing them express how this capacity-building training equips them with actionable tools to implement immediately in their classrooms is a profound gift. We laughed, we cried, we connected. Together, we built a space of trust and mutual learning. This is what I love to do, and I’m deeply grateful to @uclaseis for this opportunity. 4 more days to go!

🚨 Punishments and rewards don’t work ‼️ They only achieve temporary coercion. So how can we create space for genuine intrinsic motivation? How can we build relationships while supporting children in instilling ethics and morals? One of the most impactful readings I’ve done this year was a gift from the “Techniques for Behavior Change in Young Children” course I attended at UCLA Extension. “Beyond Discipline” by education expert Alfie Kohn offers deep reflections on challenging behavior, its underlying reasons, and concrete solutions. I highly recommend this book to anyone who lives with or is responsible for children, especially parents. It triggers reflections on our cultural biases, the education we received, as well as the inner questioning around what is acceptable and what isn’t for us as adults. “All feelings are welcome, all behaviors are not,” says Dr Aliza Pressman @raisinggoodhumanspodcast. This leads us to a critical question Kohn’s book dives into: What concrete options do we have to help young people understand and choose to alter challenging behavior? How do they understand limits without relying on punishment, especially children who repeat the same behavior despite various attempts at communication and intervention? We must first understand how we as adults impact this situation, our responsibilities, and the needs the child is expressing. We can find a powerful anchor in principles of character and skills such as active listening, respect, compassion, and empathy. This is where @funtasia fits in. The education of the mind and heart. If we only have conversations with young people that we guide through leading questions, and we get frustrated if they don’t answer what we’d like them to, we are doing the opposite of creating space for authentic dialogue crucial for moral and ethical development. Brave reflections and open dialogue in our education systems foster a more aware generation, conscious of their actions and their impact on others. What are your thoughts? How can we motivate young people to engage in meaningful conversations? The potential benefits for individual growth and societal progress are infinite.
