  • Episode 31: Your Pain is Fertile Ground for Awakening
    Gina has noticed through therapy sessions and the beginning of the New Year on a personal level.... that it has started off with a bang! Sort of like the bang of a lingering migraine...with covid surging, news headlines talking about a potential civil war in the U.S, global warming, and technology becoming ever addictive. Gina talks about the inevitability of pain and suffering in life, but it is also an opportunity to awaken and open our hearts. To live from a space of more love, more compassion, and kindness. To establish a skillful and wise relationship with our personal and collective pain body.

  • Episode 30: It's written on the walls energetically — Feng Shui Expert Patricia Lohan
    In today's episode Gina sits down with feng shui expert Patricia Lohan. She is an author, coach, healer, and helps people who want to dream more wildly, live more vibrantly, and give back generously. They talk about the necessity of softening, slowing down, and creating space in your life, and when you do, a river of flow energy opens up. Patricia talks about the many times in her life when something would fly out of her mouth unknowingly, which would be the unconscious manifestation of the next big shifts in her life. And of course they talk about getting you home into a space of energetic alignment and balance – to open up creating more of what you want in your life.

  • Episode 28: What is embodiment?
    Gina takes a deep dive into research and experiential exercises with herself entirely focused on embodiment. This episode talks about the different definitions of embodiment, how you can become more embodied in your life, and the benefits of it.
    • It means becoming whole. To have all of your parts on-line. To feel deeply and fully, which funnily enough is also the panacea to our collective 'neurosis.'
    • Mind, Body, and Breath start to operate together and interweave – they become a unified team. When they are working together, we experience the same frequency of nature.
    • The subjective aspect of the body and felt sense with mindfulness. The body is a key aspect of who we are.
    • Set or form of intelligence: Awareness of choice (towards self and others). Patterns, self-regulation, How am I practicing this in life?
    • Gina's personal favorite: Embodiment means that you recognize that YOU ARE HERE. You are not the mind. But you are the essence behind the mind. You are consciousness itself and the conscious observer. We have to bring attention to the body – versus the mind running the show. Learning how to slow the mind. Your soul essence uses the body to get the minds attention.

  • Episode 27: Breathe, Play, Touch, and Make Nothing Wrong

    Gina sits down with Advanced Akashic Reader, Akashic Breathwork practitioner, and healer Krista Rauschenberg. They discuss:

    • What led Krista to becoming an Advanced Akashic Reader and they discuss what the records are (just a hint...they are a library of information that contain your soul's journey, spanning through past lives, present, and future possibilities).
    • Feeling our way through life and not thinking our way through.
    • Going back to touch traumatic and painful spaces in the body, to feel, honor, and release that energy.
    • "I release this pain slowly, easily, and forever." It may take a few seconds, days, or years. But you need to lovingly sit with it until it's processed.
    • Worthiness and Self Love.
    • Moving through all of the layers upon layers. Doing the work. Knowing when to take breaks. But keep trying and don't give up.
    • The Risk and Reward Ratio.
    • You are responsible for you. It is an act of maturity. Being responsible for your actions, happiness, health, and having a sense of humor with it all.

    • Living with more daily intention

  • Episode 24: How do we heal?

    Gina sits down with one of her long time best friends and soul sisters Eulalie Cizek. They have a long history and a uniquely intuitive, non-judgmental, open, and lovingly supportive friendship. They both have a way of bringing out more of the truth in the other, compassionately challenging one another to grow, and lovingly blowing the horn when either one sniffs BS.

    It is a conversation about healing. It is a conversation about trauma - both individual and collective. It is a conversation about stepping back into our power as women and healing our hearts. It is a conversation about the balance of "doing the work to heal" and just "being." Key points:
    • Generations of trauma and cycles of abuse with women
    • The nervous system responses from trauma stuck in the body and feelings of powerlessness
    • Self Abandonment
    • Commitment to being honest with ourselves
    • How difficult it is for humans to speak their truth especially when it comes to trauma
    • Projection and unconscious wounding from parenting
    • The confusion to work through that as a child - when they don't take ownership of it
    • Love yourself
    • Deconstruct and Reconstruct on the healing path
    • Not classifying things as Good or Bad
    • The simplicity and divine power of just Being versus excessive seeking
    • The discussion of medicinal plant medicines and Eulalies's decision to do an Ayahuasca ceremony after years of therapy and healers
    Warning: This episode is for mature audiences only and contains a discussion around sexual trauma in younger generations. Please know this may be triggering for some individuals.

  • Episode 23: How does your body talk to you?
    Gina believes that we are in a particularly interesting paradigm shift for humanity and particularly for women. That women are in a ripe space (and an uncomfortable one) of shedding learned behaviors, trauma, and ways of being - from society, family systems, intergenerational trauma, and the patriarchy. It is a time for women to step into their power and out of powerlessness. The world needs it right now. Gina shares a recent journey with some health issues and poses the question lovingly to her listeners - how does your body talk to you?
    • What messages is it telling you?
    • Unhealed individual or collective trauma?
    • Not living truthfully or with integrity?
    • People pleasing, caretaking, and self-abandoning?
