Learning  Self-love with Gina Swire

Today’s episode is another one for the books. We interviewed Gina Swire who is a self-love mentor, speaker, coach, and manifesting queen. She wants to get the message of self-love across to as many women (and men) as possible because it’s there, just buried beneath insecurities and self-doubt. In this episode, we talked about her modeling experience, her breakthrough, purging, validation and so much more.
