Welcome to the worlds
of Mariella
“I’m so honored to receive a full-page review in the October 2025 issue of Fra Noi, the Italian/American magazine from Chicago, whose tagline is “Embrace your inner Italian.” 👏
I hope you’ll enjoy Mariella’s journey, and if you’d like, please drop me a note. I’d love to hear what you think!
Inspiration for Mariella’s story came from my affinity for all things Sicilian and Italian, having been raised in a half-Sicilian/American family.
My own struggle to find and follow my path in this world served as a touchstone, along with inspiration from my pyschotherapy clients who found the courage to overcome obstacles and have dared, like Mariella, to break free and live true to themselves. Read the synopsis
“Becoming Mariella is a touching and thought-provoking read that had me reflecting on the beautiful balance between who we are and our roots. You might just find it as inspiring as I did.”
