Episode Overview
Happy New Year! We are celebrating the FIFTH Season of the show!! And today is all about getting real, raw perspective and insight. First, get some inside information on Gina’s book… or is it books?… She discusses how the process of writing has helped her discover so many experiences and stories from the past that have helped to shape her over the years. It also has led to some revelations of how to leverage talents she already has in new ways. Susanna and Gina discuss the importance of the story structure in our lives. Heroes, tragedy, struggle, triumph… they all play a part in what happens to us each day, each month, each year. It also gives perspective of how people view each other, and how our insecurities are almost always overblown.
Then Gina talks about how at the beginning of each year, she choses a word to define her purpose for the next twelve months. She reveals two words for this year that may inspire you to shake things up. Which leads to Susanna telling her word for the year, which is one that nearly every listener can relate to.
