  • Gina Pastore: Author of "Picking Up My Shattered Pieces: Bouncing Back When Life Throws You a Curve Ball"

    What started out as a youthful childhood crush would eventually turn into her being a teenage bride to her #MLB husband, late #Reds pitcher Frank Pastore. The lived, loved, raised a family, retired from baseball, and entered the next chapter of their lives...

    Always well-spoken, unafraid, and vibrant, Frank landed a radio hosting job in LA. That show would become the #1 rated Christian talk show in the US! Life was good and exciting and happy..

    One day while cooking at home, Gina Pastore was listening to Frank on the radio. He was sharing how we are not guaranteed a day in this life, and that he could very easily lose his life while riding his motorcycle...

    Later that evening, Frank was hit by a van while riding his motorcycle on a CA highway on his way home to Gina. He would fall into a coma, and 4 weeks later would pass away from his injuries. How do you move on when the only love you've ever known is gone?

    This week on "Breakin' The Norm" I have the honor of interviewing Gina Pastore, Co-Host of "Real Life" on KKLA 99.5 FM in Los Angeles, as she shares her story of love, life, faith, and moving on.

    Her book, "Picking Up My Shattered Pieces: Bouncing Back When Life Throws You a Curve Ball" is available at Amazon.com
