She Built Her Passion Brand With 100k Followers by Turning Trauma Into Art | with Giulia Hartz

What if your lowest moments held the secret to your greatest success?

In this powerful episode, Italian illustrator and brand designer Giulia Hartz reveals how she turned heartbreak, fear, and depression into a wildly authentic creative brand—earning over 100,000 Instagram followers, launching her own product line, and working with top-tier brands on her own terms.

We talk about:

• How Giulia uses workshop-style collaboration to make the client process smoother, more human, and actually fun

• Her go-to framework: the Feedback Grid (this will change how you give and receive creative feedback!)

• How she overcame the fear of sharing her truth online

• Why being yourself is the best brand strategy

• And what it really takes to create flow, confidence, and community—starting from pain, not perfection

If you’re a creative, founder, or secretly brilliant person hiding your gifts… this episode will give you the permission and push you’ve been waiting for.

🎨 Vulnerability meets design. Strategy meets soul.
Press play — and start creating from who you really are.
