My Most Valuable Life Tool

This past week I realized pamelagiacometti.com has become my most valuable life tool. Here are my reasons why: Vulnerability. I have learned first hand it’s not as scary as we think to put ourselves out there. I am pushed everyday to think long and wide. Creative freedom. Inspiring one life is better than wishing of inspiring one life but not taking any action to do so. I finally stopped wishing and started doing. I have gained so much respect and admiration for all the creators who put their creations out…

Give Value Or Customers Will Not Want to Come Back

Picture Description: The sauce you see in the picture is a mix of ketchup and mayo in an attempt to add more flavour to my meal. Today I had one of the most disappointing lunches in awhile. My experience happened in a hamburger place I had visited earlier this year when they had just opened. The place is modern with a focus on “healthy eating.” My first experience in this restaurant was positive; I thought the food was good quality with taste. I don’t know what happened inbetween today and last…

Meeting a Stranger and The Cycle of Inspiration

Today I met with a company in Zürich. Before going into the meeting, I had no idea I would be chatting with the founder and owner of the company. The man I chatted with was bright, positive and had a great energy about him – the kind of energy that isn’t fake-able. When I asked: Do you like what you do? He responded without a second’s hesitation saying: “Yes, I love it. Having my own business is the only way for me.” It was clear by his genuine spirit and…

Two Mini Panic Attacks & Detachment

It’s only Thursday but somehow this week already feels really long and eventful. In the past four days, I have experienced two occasions where my heart tightened, guts tensed up and I couldn’t get enough air. I call them mini panic attacks that ended in tears. I’m not sure if they were really panic attacks…but either way, it’s really strange because I am not an anxious or panicky person by nature. For those of you who watched my relationship video with Tobi, you will know he describes me as a…

8 Years Together: The Challenges, Lessons and Our Advice on Keeping Your Relationship Interesting

Hellooooo!! So, October 1st marked 8 years of Team Tobi and Pam. I can’t believe it. 8 years. It went by so fast!! I remember hearing couples who had been together 20 years say it flies by… and I never believed them. But now I’m really thinking it’s true. Tobi and I went to the French part of Switzerland for a few days (you can watch the Vlog here)…and we also filmed a PamTV episode together. This video is honestly my favourite video to date. I had so much filming…

When You Wake Up With The Blues

This morning I opened my eyes to a soar body – the result of a 20 minute workout I did on Thursday. My legs felt heavy and any movement made my abdominals feel as if something was pulling them apart. I must either be getting old or I am really out of shape. I’m 26, so it’s definitely the latter. In between opening my eyes and rolling over, I could feel that today was not my day –  so I closed my eyes and went back to sleep. I woke up again…
