Gina shares a personal episode on the cycles of feeling connected and disconnected to herself. Questioning the 10,000 online courses that promise all of us - that we will become whole and deeply self loving - ALL OF THE TIME. What Gina has learned from years of therapy, meditation, online courses, and books... is that life cycles and so does our connection to ourselves. There is no "ultimate solution" - just daily choices, habits, and aligning with our authentic truth. That we ebb and flow. It is the nature of being a human and in this episode, Gina focuses on the nature of being a woman in a patriarchal society, but also how the patriarchy is a toxic system for men. The messages we have received from our family systems, media, and society at large. How there is a common thread of women needing to seek out external validation, approval, and praise. Gina weaves in elements of Dr. Shefali's book, "A Radical Awakening", which challenges women to turn their pain into power and living from your authentic truth.
