What if fear wasn’t your stop sign—but your initiation into expansion?

In this heartfelt episode of the unPerfected Podcast, Brooke Jean sits down with Gianna Piazza. Gianna is the owner of SOULFULLY CONNECTED and an awakened mother dedicated to helping women, particularly mothers, who feel stuck in a version of themselves they’ve outgrown. Her work is intuitive and energetically led, allowing her to decode the patterns and emotions that hold them back. She bridges the gap between where they are now, where they’re giving their power away, and the woman they truly desire to become.

As an awakened mother, Gianna is passionate about guiding other mothers on their own spiritual journeys, empowering them to break generational cycles and rediscover their true selves. Through her work, she helps them explore what lights them up and create lives that feel deeply fulfilling and aligned with their authentic truth—free from guilt, perfectionism, and the fear of judgment. Her mission is to inspire women to embrace their journey of self-discovery and transformation, fostering a new legacy for themselves and their families.

Brooke and Gianna dive deep into what it means to hold both fear and excitement, how reparenting ourselves transforms our relationships, and how embracing the messy parts of life can unlock the most meaningful breakthroughs. This conversation is a masterclass in emotional regulation, nervous system healing, aligned action, and feminine energetics—especially for working mothers trying to hold it all.

Tune in, share with a fellow mama or soul sister, and remember: it’s safe to trust yourself.
