Feminine Roadmap

Today on Feminine Roadmap Gina introduces us to Irene O’Garden, author, playwright and poet, who takes us on a journey of risking the rapids of life. Irene candidly shares how a journey in the wilderness of Montana in her 60’s taught her how to take risks, reconnect with family and heal her childhood. Vivid and engaging, Irene draws practical application from wilderness experience to help others step out in courage and take risks. Risking the rapids is a powerful analogy that each of us can apply to our own lives- identifying our comfort zones, self judgement, limiting beliefs- and begin to break free from those beliefs and habits that hold us so that we can make progress, live a “risky” life on our own terms.
