We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Giuseppina Frigolino. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Giuseppina below.
Giuseppina, appreciate you joining us today. Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?
Since I was a little girl I always had a love for writing, it’s just something I would turn too, especially during difficult times in my life. Back in 2018, I was going through something really difficult in my life, something that was really affecting me, physically, mentally & emotionally. I came to realize that my only escape from reality was through my writing & photography. I started to notice that the content I was sharing with my audience was not only helping me heal, but it was also helping others. My love for creating content grew drastically over the past few years, as I learned how much I loved what I have created on my platform. My page began as an escape of reality for me, a place to share my love for writing & creating content, but it soon became a place for not only myself but also for my viewers to have a safe space to be completely who they want to be. On my page I share content about self-love, the importance of our mental health, day to day life tips & tricks, travel guides & places one must visit!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I started my blog journey in hopes of helping others around me. Growing up, I’ve always struggled with fitting in, with not feeling good enough for myself and others; so I decided to create a safe area where my followers and I can freely express ourselves. I try to post only positive posts; whether that be a positive quote, a positive caption, a positive Tiktok video/IG reel or anything that gives out positive energy/vibes. I try to always provide my viewers with a safe space where they can feel open to reaching out to me if they just feel like they need someone to talk too or someone to give them a little push.
On my Instagram blog, I focus on the importance of bringing positivity to one’s life, as well as share the importance of learning about our self-love/self-care to my audience. Not only do I focus on aspects of positivity, but I also enjoy posting fun/creative content that I know my followers will love and enjoy. I like to post fun travel tips, fun TikToks of different places I’ve visited around the world, new areas I think are a great spot to check out and even sharing fun & delicious restaurants/dessert spots.
I’m most proud of myself for having the ability to actually put myself out there. I’ve struggled so long with self-love that I was scared to actually do something like this, but I’d tell myself all the time, what if I can help someone as myself, wouldn’t that be cool to make a difference? So, that’s why I did it. I created a blog where I can share my love for writing & photography; while allowing myself to advocate the importance of positivity and having self-love/self-care. I’m so happy with how far my blog as come and I only hope for bigger and brighter things this year! I hope I continue to help people grow into better versions of themselves and to spread positivity and kindness everywhere they go!
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goal in my creative journey, is trying to establish a safe space for my followers to feel that they can always be their complete self. I want to create a space where my followers can feel free to message me if they’re feeling down or alone, because I believe mental health is extremely important. I also want my blog to help people find the best tips, tricks & travel guides they need when they book their next big trip!
Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
One thing I wish I knew starting out in my creative journey is that I should’ve started early. I shouldn’t of let the opinions of others stop me from starting sooner & chasing my dreams! I love knowing that I’m helping people around me and making a difference in their lives. Giving my audience a fun and safe space to feel loved and accepted, while also sharing my fun travel adventures with them and hearing their own stories along the way, means EVERYTHING to me!!!
