This episode takes us to Gianna’s extraordinary journey into becoming a writer and writing her book.
Gianna Shamone had always been in the creative industry as an artist manager for musicians. Her interest in understanding poetry and lyrics was her foundation for building effective collaboration with artists she works with. But she didn’t know that this deeply lying passion inside her all along could be a craft on its own.
The writing was always a part of Gianna, from writing short stories as an elementary school student to journaling—she knew she wanted to write. But she never really trusted that her writing could interest others until people around her repeatedly tried to convince her that it’s her purpose: help in people’s healing through her poetry around life and feelings.
Her newly-released book, Finding Me, now available in many different stores worldwide, came to be as Gianna worked on herself. It was birthed by overcoming a lot of her fears and courageously diving deeper into her inner world and letting it come out.
Not until receiving endless people’s positive feedbacks on her poetry captions for her photos (another craft of hers!) posted on Instagram and that final push from the tarot card reading after a Reiki session in New York just before the world shutdown from Covid19, Gianna never had it in her cosmos of possibilities that she was good enough to be read by the whole world.
Her journey and this intimately honest conversation are out to inspire listeners to pursue their passion. One’s life purpose, or dharma, doesn’t have to occur to you in a grandiose moment; sometimes, it just starts with an interest you have kept in the bay for so long and never really let to flourish and take you on. Let it flow let it take you!
