S1 EP11: Pain, astrology, and the courage to see differently with Paulo da Costa

In this episode of Walking Between Worlds, Giada sits down with holistic coach, astrologer, hypnotherapist and shamanic practitioner Paulo da Costa for a deep, honest, and refreshingly unpolished conversation about what it really means to walk between worlds.From chronic illness and unanswered medical questions to astrology, hypnotherapy, past-life regression and shamanic practice, Paulo shares his personal journey from scepticism to survival, and how pain became the doorway to something far bigger than logic alone could explain.Together, Giada and Paulo talk about the invisible world most people fear, why we only look for answers when life forces us to, and how modern distractions, fear of judgement, and “easy living” have dulled our resilience. This isn’t astrology from a magazine or spirituality for Instagram likes, it’s about maps, not predictions, and learning how to sit with uncertainty without losing yourself.A grounded, sometimes uncomfortable, but deeply human conversation about intuition, healing, courage, and why once you see, you can’t unsee.Connect with Paulo da Costa:Instagram: @the.holistic.coach.77Facebook: Holistic CoachWebsite: www.holistic-coach.co.ukConnect with Giada Gaslini:Website: www.schoolofshamanism.co.ukInstagram: @‌schoolofshamanismFacebook: School of ShamanismYoutube: School of ShamanismAbout the HostOriginally hailing from the vibrant city of Milan, I’ve spent the past two decades traversing the globe in a quest for spiritual and personal growth and combined with 25 years of international corporate work experience. From navigating the vast landscapes of Australia in a campervan to finding tranquility living in a Buddhist monastery in Nepal, my journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Along the way, I’ve delved deep into Buddhist teachings, yoga, and shamanism, becoming Shamanic Teacher,  Forest Therapy Guide, Esoteric Numerologist, Shamanic and Integral Yoga Teacher and Ikigai Coach. In 2013 I settled in Edinburgh, where  I founded the Art and Spirituality Centre, a social enterprise and the School of Shamanism, where I passionately help others on their own transformative journeys.Listen and Subscribe:Apple Podcasts: Subscribe & ReviewSpotify: Follow & RateLeave a review to help other spiritual explorers to enjoy the showTurn on notifications for the new episodes.________________________________________________________CHAPTERSWelcome to Paulo da Costa, Holistic CoachCracked open by experienceComfortable with not knowingWhere to find Paulo________________________________________________________
