My name is Paola, and I’m so glad you’re here!
Is this for you?
Yes, if you want turn wanting to speak English from painful to joyful.
Challenge your inner troll.Â
How we approach speaking a language is, most of the time, what we need to change.
Let's co-create this change together. It's a process.
Let's walk you from nervous about speaking English to fearlessly chill, bold and excited.
We can start our work here, together, for free.
Learning another language?
The Mindful Speaker can help you, too, because we talk a lot about changing our how, here.
I also coach people for their growth in Italian and French — not as often. But I do.
So please, take a seat, make yourself comfortable, and feel free to ask me questions if you're learning these languages, too.
You will receive:
* Actionable practice tips to train the active skills we need to become good speakers: speaking prompts, writing prompts (yes, writing supports speaking), provocative questions to ask yourself about your learning, to change your how. Because if you're still stuck after decades, you won't go far if you don't change HOW you approach the problem.
* Ideas to incorporate English (or your other target language) into your daily life, for your listening and reading skills. Series, podcasts, thought-provoking articles, inspiring TED talks. You name it. I'm an omnivore, in five languages. And you can be, too.
* random inspiration, such as book tips or longform articles, as well as Substacks to follow. Non-fiction is food for thought, and fiction is food for our emotional growth. We are humans, before anything else.
* a monthly quote to invite you to think about your learning process.
Let’s demystify speaking English, together
Speaking English can be hard,
but it doesn’t have to be terrifying, scary, or something that makes you feel incredibly anxious.
Fun fact: the more you make English part of your daily life, use it, play with it, don’t take it too seriously, and use it outside of just work… The better you will speak it.
Because it’ll just become what it should be — a tool that enables you to do interesting, great, useful, fun things, in another language, and in a wider world.
Speak English, read it, write it, listen to it, get your hands dirty, fail and make mistakes.
That’s how you get great at pretty much anything :)
Three times a month,
in two longer email and one with only a quote for reflection,
you’ll read about languages and the beauty of a multilingual life,Â
neuroscience tidbits and language learning,
self-coaching inspiration, emotional intelligence,Â
mindset & heartset work and learning ideas.
Away from the bells, whistles & notifications of social media.
No more brain fog,
more breathing space and peace,
For your heart, brain and spirit.

Have priority access to ALL of my offers & discounts
You will be here because you will have given me your email, and that’s a gesture of trust.
Thank you so much for that.
You will be the first to know about any upcoming Flowing English language coaching offers coming up — and you’ll be first in line for any discounts, or for any limited-time offers to become a fearless speaker with me.
I never work with too many people at once, because I want to give each of my 1:1 clients time and attention.
I always talk about minimalism and building space for yourself — I try to apply them to my business too, by keeping it small and simple, and taking good care of my clients.
So, whenever you see me say limited spots in an email, you will know — it’s not a marketing strategy.
I mean it, because I really think we should work to live, and not the other way round.
Speaking languages fluently is a skill that helped me get here. And that's why I want to help others get to the same position: more languages give us more choices in our lives. And choices are a form of power.
So, if you're stuck with your spoken English, and want to start the journey towards unlocking your skills… you're in the right place.
