Episode 29: Following the Breadcrumbs of What Lights You Up with Christina Minutillo

Magic Exists with Dani Margeaux

In this heartwarming episode of Magic Exists, Dani Margeaux sits down with Christina Minutillo — entrepreneur, retreat host, cookbook author, and host of the What Lights Us Up podcast — to talk about the magic of trusting your intuition and following the breadcrumbs life lays out for you. Christina shares how she left her corporate fashion career in New York City for Los Angeles without a job or plan, trusting a deep inner knowing that changed the trajectory of her life. From there, she followed her passions for food, community, and her Italian heritage, leading her to self-publish her cookbook Cooking with Italian Roots, host retreats in Italy, and curate off-the-beaten-path travel experiences.

Together, Dani and Christina dive into:
How to trust your inner “yes” even when it doesn’t make logical sense
Turning passion into a purpose greater than yourself
The magic of community and Italian-style connection
Following divine synchronicities to create a life you love
Reconnecting with your roots and heritage in ways that transform you
Whether you’re craving a big leap of faith, looking to rediscover your cultural roots, or simply needing inspiration to live more fully, this conversation will leave you feeling expanded, inspired, and ready to follow your own breadcrumbs.
