Saint Podcast

On this week’s episode of Saint Podcast, we welcome the multi-talented, worldwide known beauty influencer Gina Shkeda; who shares her narrative on living life in the limelight, what she did to get there, and how it got her to the dream path that she is currently emerging in now.

After one viral video and directing her way through the spotlight at only the age of 17 years old, Gina has executed many skills and talents, mostly within the entertainment industry. After graduating from Vancouver Film School, she began basking in her skills and started pursuing professional wedding photography and videography, content creating and has since indulged in all things music and art.

But it hasn’t all been glamorous; with living a life so exposed and accessible to the public, struggles with mental health began to arise, making her begin to question whether or not this avenue was the direction for her. Starting off her 20’s as a beauty guru and now shifting her way to the music and entertainment industry, Gina has decided to take on the pursuit of producing music and live DJing, making a complete 180 in her career. We are thrilled to have been able to sit down with Gina and listen to her story on how she navigated through the switch, the ups and downs of her journey, and how she has maintained the duality of having influencer status but still embracing the journey and struggles in her average day to day life.

With hard work and dedication, Gina proves to us that it is more than possible to chase your dreams and live the life that you desire. It’s never too late to switch paths, and no limits are ever out of reach. Believe in yourself and know that you hold the power to create your own pathway to success.

Today, we sit down with our amazing co-host Victoria Gouveia. Victoria is an aspiring singer-songwriter, actress, and entrepreneur. With over 15 years in the music industry she hopes to share her knowledge and inspire others.

Victoria shares her ups and downs through her journey as an aspiring artist and opens up about her struggles with depression and losing her passion for creating; something thats always come as second nature to her. No matter what creative field you are in, we all share the same struggles with feeling uninspired, having self doubt, and questioning if the path you’ve chosen is right for you. We highlight some key points on how to navigate through “creators block”, who to trust in the industry, the importance of networking and how to begin your journey as an artist.

No matter what creative field you are pursuing, we hope that this episode will shed some light on you to find the courage to begin again and feel re-inspired. We want our listeners to understand the reality of the ups and downs through the process of doing something we love, and ease the pressure of having to feel inspired and motivated at all times. It's never too late to follow your dreams.

As we begin to approach the end of 2022 and head into a brand new year, we thought now would be the perfect time to bring you a short and sweet 30 minute episode to reflect on the important life lessons each of us have learned individually, but also together. It's important to be able to see not just your room for improvement, but to also appreciate and value the growth of how far you've come. Take a moment to observe how different your life is from this time, one year ago. Express your gratitude, continue to be present, and begin to watch your life flourish. Here's to 2023! We hope it's your best year yet. We can't wait to grow with you.

We all have one thing in common as humans; and that is life and death. Unfortunately, death and loss is something that is inevitable throughout our time here spent on Earth.

We hope that this episode can bring you some peace and new thoughtful ways of living and viewing your life and to have comfort knowing you're that not alone.
