Why a Magazine — And Why Now?
If you know me, you know I love coffee. I honor its ritual — a pause, a pleasure, a portal to presence. That’s what this magazine is too: a ritual, a reflection, and a return. A space to savor the small things and reclaim meaning in everyday life.
When the world paused during the COVID-19 pandemic, like many of you, I found myself at a crossroads. Life as we knew it had changed overnight. Schools closed, routines vanished, and my business — like so many others — needed to be completely reimagined. At first, it felt like loss. But in that stillness, I was given something rare: the chance to reflect. To ask deeper questions. To reassess not only what I was doing, but why I was doing it.
Out of that reflection, this journal was born — first as a personal outlet, then as a growing collection of thoughts on how to live a fuller, simpler, more grounded life. Over time, it evolved into something more: a holistic lifestyle magazine inspired by the rhythms, flavors, and philosophy of the Mediterranean. It now lives under the umbrella of Wellbeing by Coaching, where coaching meets culture, and where intentional living becomes both a practice and a pleasure.
A Journal for the Sweet Life
This is more than a blog. It’s not a personal diary or a platform for polished perfection or promoted products. It’s a curated journal of reflections and resources — blending storytelling with practical inspiration. Think of it as a modern lifestyle magazine rooted in the timeless philosophy of La Dolce Vita — the sweet life, lived well.
You’ll find articles on:
• Lifestyle and the art of slow living
• Food & drink inspired by Mediterranean simplicity
• Home & travel grounded in beauty and meaning
• Fashion that reflects quality and authenticity
• Learning Italian, as a playful and purposeful cultural journey
This space brings together my roots in Italy, my life in the U.S., and my work as a certified wellness coach. It’s a cross-cultural conversation about what really matters — presence, beauty, belonging, creativity, and the joy of living a purposeful life.
What Makes This Different
We call them articles, not posts, because they’re written to inform and inspire, not just to express opinion. This isn’t about chasing trends or content algorithms — it’s about intention and resonance. That’s why we don’t publish daily or recycle filler material. Each piece is carefully crafted to be useful, thoughtful, and a little bit soulful.
Our mission is simple:
To inspire, to inform, and to entertain — through a lens of authenticity, Mediterranean culture, and the joy of everyday moments.
We celebrate creativity, friendship, meaningful work, and the quiet magic of daily rituals. We believe the sweet life isn’t a luxury — it’s a way of being, made up of simple pleasures and steady choices.
Who This Is For
This magazine is for the curious, the change-seekers, the dreamers and doers who want more from life than just checking boxes. It’s for those who want to slow down without checking out, grow without burning out, and live both fast and slow — with heart, with flavor, and with intention.
So pour yourself a good cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Sink into your favorite chair. And join us in exploring the sweet life — one article, one idea, one breath at a time.
