As a late bloomers’ advocate, she focusses her work on inspirational content to empower women feeling stuck in their middle age. Founder of the digital lifestyle magazine CrunchyTales.com, the ultimate online illustrated magazine for women over 40 and beyond, her mission is to reset the meaning of middle age, helping ladies not to give up.
Motivational speaker and creator of “Crunchy Talks: Tales From Midlife Journeys”, bi-monthly talk shows that celebrate the talent and resources of middle-aged ladies who break boundaries, find their true calling and create new, meaningful paths later in their lives, Michela wants to challenge stereotypes and old clichés helping middle-aged women to rethink the way they approach midlife, showing them that the best has yet to come.
A former feature writer for the most influential Italian National newspaper La Repubblica, she has been nominated twice for the International Journalism Festival Award (Travel Section) and run several digital editorial projects, including marketing campaigns.
Author of “Salotto Italiano” (Individual Restaurants Production), a series of charity events in support of the Prince’s Trust, former Brand Ambassador for Gino D’Acampo Restaurants, Michela has been also hosting several “road-shows” around the UK promoting the Italian way of life.

During the Olympics 2012, she covered all the major events at Casa Italia in Westminster.

Michela has no grey areas; displaying a surprising desire to get the news, whether positive or negative, and then carefully outline the details. She is also able to reveal new facts. This is surprising, in these current times of leadership and self gratification which is often practiced by the media. She achieves this only by staying true to the real rules of Journalism, which unfortunately have been forgotten by many today. She is a good example of humility, and professionalism.

Michela is a daughter of the present, but she belongs to another era. She has the advantage of living in the Digital Age with the true spirit of a reporter on the road. Commitment, seriousness and professionalism are in fact Michela’s distinguishing features, typical of those who have gained experience from a long apprenticeship.
Ivo Ferrario – Head of PR & Communications, Centromarca
Great Intuition, timeliness, professionalism, commitment and enthusiasm to her work. Michela Di Carlo has enriched me professionally for her proper way to work in journalism: her genuine desire is to always seek news uncompromisingly and scrupulously checking all the facts and details.
Gianluca Pacella – Editor in Chief, Agroalimentarenews.com
What I’ve always appreciated by Michela is her relentlessness. This is a very important trait for those who do this job, as it enables her to get to the bottom of things and not stop at the surface. As well as providing high quality information she always provides more than is necessary. It is her enthusiasm that distinguishes her from the others, allowing her to face the many challenges of an increasingly competitive industry with a smile.
