Minding Your Mindset   Gina Kunadian’s story is one  of childhood trauma, substance abuse, and  transformation.  It’s also a story about how controlling our internal narrative also controls, and can rtansform, our life. Gina’s family life was less than ideal. Her father died when she was young and she grew up with years of molestation. As a teen she started using the drug ecstasy. What started as a means to fit in and numb her pain descended into a dependency on alcohol that took over her life. By the time she was married and a mother, Gina’s alcohol consumption had escalated to a point where she needed a fifth of vodka daily just to function. Despite multiple attempts at recovery, including outpatient programs and rehab, Gina’s battle with alcohol seemed insurmountable. It wasn’t until a moment of profound despair and a severe bout of pancreatitis that she truly confronted the reality of her situation. The stark warning from her doctor that continued drinking would lead to her death within ten years was the wake-up call she needed. Her mindset changed. Gina’s path to recovery wasn’t just about quitting alcohol; it was about transforming her entire mindset. With the help of a mentor, she delved into yoga, fitness, and a women’s mentorship program focused on mindset. This holistic approach helped her rebuild her self-worth, change her limiting beliefs to create a new mindset, and cultivate a deep sense of self-love and compassion. Today, Gina is an alcohol-free sobriety coach dedicated to helping driven women break free from their alcohol dependency. Through her coaching and her podcast, “Shine Within,” she provides a platform for women to share their stories and find support in their journeys toward creating their own healing mindset.     What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys.

I am endlessly interested in how our self perceptions influence our life paths. Do we create and project a reality that is in our best interests? Can we rewire our brains to do so? Jenny Potter’s story is an exploration into the stories we tell ourselves and the realities we create.   From Trauma To Self Love Jennie Potter is a remarkable woman who has transformed her life from one of trauma and self-sabotage to one of self-love and healing. Jenny’s journey is both heartbreaking and inspiring, and she shares it with a raw honesty. Jennie’s story begins at 14, when a traumatic event at a party changed the course of her life. The aftermath of this event led her down a path of negative self-talk, substance abuse, and unhealthy relationships. For years, she felt unworthy and unsafe, until she reached a turning point about 20 years ago. Standing in front of a mirror, with nothing but a sleeping bag and a few pots and pans in her possession, she realized she was meant for more. This moment marked the beginning of her journey towards self-love and healing. One of the pivotal moments in Jennie’s journey was meeting a healer who introduced her to affirmations. With three simple statements - "I am beautiful," "I love myself," and "I am worthy of love" - Jenny began the long process of rewiring her emotional responses. This practice of affirmations was the first step in what would become a lifelong commitment to personal growth and self-care. Jennie also discusses the importance of addressing unprocessed emotions, which she believes are often at the root of our daily struggles. She introduces listeners to the Alarm Method, a technique she developed to help people become aware of their emotions, locate them in their bodies, and release them. This method, which stands for Awareness, Location, Ask, Release, and Mantra, is a simple yet powerful tool for emotional healing. By identifying and releasing these unprocessed emotions, Jenny explains, we can free ourselves from the past and show up differently in our lives. Jennie’s story is a testament to the power of self-love and the importance of addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of healing. Her journey is a reminder that no matter how difficult our past may be, we have the power to change our future. Tune in to this episode to hear more about Jennie’s incredible journey and learn how you can start your own path to self-love and healing. ​   What they're saying:   “This is a beautiful book about life, its imperfections, its challenges, and its joys.
