About Antonella Barberini

When I was 32 I left a regular job, on the Adria Coast of Italy, and packed up for adventure to Big Sur - from Bologna to Buenos Aires via Madrid - with a redheaded cheeky friend; we were temporarily unemployed, nor young nor middle aged (still single), free and brave. "What the hell am I doing here?" quoted Bruce Chatwin, in Patagonia, where to lose a passport was the least of one's worries. In the middle of nowhere, after a breathtaking cargo boat trip in the chilian fjords, I couldn't imagine what would happen. Once back home, my heart was taken by a french Caribbean Pirate (petit Tony Parker's double), who seemed to be Mr Right. Life is a joke. Therefore I played the game moving to Paris one year after that meeting with destiny. Twelve years are gone by now. Twelve months were enough to admit that Charming was eventually a bitch. Today my enthusiast focus is on mind management and mental health awareness, in the aftermath of terror attacks, and my fight against PTSD and stigma, in a global Company retraining program's. Personal growth, self-discovery and mindfulness are on the screen on my 24/7 website "http://ptsdbeautifultrauma.com" with the sponsor of ex Servicemen (US and UK) who kindly shared their creative techniques for coping with their struggle with PTSD back home. My next release, after my lifesaving first self-published italian memoir, "PTSD Beautiful Trauma", is a self help manual inspired by my transformational journey with a mystic touch and magic keys to embrace physical and nervous break down as a wake up call. At 45, my time for late blooming is here. A Parisian Sparkle is rising from her ashes.
