Ever wonder why your ex/soon-to-be-ex and past lovers seem so different but yet so similar? How interesting that you were promised the sun, the moon and stars, by both, only to be left empty and shattered with the realization that they all promised one thing, seemed to act one way, and then just ... poof ... flipped the switch and left. Or why is it that you find yourself attracted to people with substance or communication and intimacy issues?

What do you need to know and aren't being told?

Join Gina in today's episode to find out how you can create less emotional baggage for your future and lighten your load. It really comes down to two things: don't meet anger with anger and paint the picture of a smile. We all have choices.
