Hi, I’m Cat Gandini — a writer and vlogger rebuilding life after over a decade of severe chronic illness.
Right now I’m in Australia, recovering from ME/CFS and PTSD but my dream is to one day return to Italy — to live, travel, and create a life filled with beauty, purpose, and freedom.
Once housebound, now healing — I write and vlog about the real, raw process of recovery, creative healing, finding beauty in the everyday, and what it means to reclaim your life when everything has fallen apart.
In my work you’ll find five evolving themes:
- Life after illness — navigating healing, pacing, creative recovery and the rhythm of slow living
- Gentle Brisbane adventures and slow travel — cafés, country shows, bookstores, and gardens
- Creating my dream life — vlogging, digital storytelling, and building something meaningful as a content creator
- Italy dreaming — language, beauty, and the vision of a life abroad
- Personal reflections — recovery insights, self development, seasonal check-ins, and mindful self-discovery
This blog is part memoir, part lifestyle — a love letter to starting over and a space to be seen in the messy in-between. If you’re into honest storytelling and slow, soulful content, I’m so glad you’re here.
❤️ Cat
