Giovanna Sessi-Knott on Style, Identity & Trusting Your Intuition
Giovanna Sessi-Knott joins the podcast to reflect on style, identity, career evolution and the process of creating a life that feels more aligned. From building an international career in banking to retraining in interior design, launching her own handbag brand and balancing creativity with family life, this conversation explores how our values, priorities and identity evolve over time… and how trusting yourself becomes increasingly important through each new chapter.
What We Explore In This Episode
Giovanna reflects on leaving behind a career that no longer felt sustainable, how energy management became a turning point in her decision making, and the role intuition now plays in guiding both work and life. Together, we discuss style, colour, sustainability, daily rituals and why dressing for your real lifestyle can make life feel simpler and more intentional. We also discuss how style evolves alongside identity, why editing before adding can transform your wardrobe, and how creating systems that support your lifestyle can create more confidence and ease.
