Not only did I find myself again, but it opened up an entirely new way of life that I never could have imagined.” “And that is what confidence does. It gives you access to your voice and the ability to be yourself. It's why I talk about it all the time. If you want a big life, one filled with the things that make you happy, it’s time to boost your confidence because you deserve it!” “Taking care of yourself first, and I know everyone's heard this, taking care of yourself first allows you to be a better caretaker for anyone that you're taking care of: kids, elderly, your spouse, your partner. You will be the better caretaker and the better mom if you are taken care of first. That way of thinking is the older generation. Today, I want to change everyone's mindset on that, that you have to be the priority first.” “That is probably number one. I hear that day in and day out from all new clients. "I don't have time." And then, miraculously, we find a lot of time for them to improve, which is really, really cool. So stop using that language. When you say it you believe it, and it becomes ingrained in your brain. Just get rid of it. Get rid of the, "I don't have time."” Questions I asked Gina include: “We can only have our healthiest body when we also have a healthy mind.” Tell us more about what you mean by this. “Life is better shared and I believe that when people come together to help each other out, we can conquer the world.” How does this community approach play a role in helping people achieve their goals and shine their brightest? I, too, am a big advocate of making quiet, alone time a priority. Why is this so powerful? And if the listeners won’t listen to me, maybe they’ll listen to you, ha: what benefits are derived from making this a consistent practice? How can we become more confident?
