Rosamaria Mancini is a writer whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and other publications. A former communications specialist at the Vatican, she currently works with Fairtrade International in Bonn and teaches communications at the Brussels School of Governance and UMGC Europe. A native New Yorker, she now lives in the tri-border region of Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium with her husband and two children. She holds a PhD in Creative Writing from Swansea University.

Her memoir, SOS Podcasts, is an insightful and often humorous account of leaving a thriving career and community in New York to build a life abroad in Italy and Germany. With honesty and wit, Rosamaria reflects on identity, motherhood, grief, and reinvention, exploring how podcasts—ranging from parenting and spirituality to wellness, comedy, and pizza—helped her move through isolation toward personal transformation.
