In this episode we welcome Gina Rania, Gen-X RESET Coach. Gina shares about her childhood growing up in New Jersey with her parents and two older sisters. Shortly after her parent's divorce when she was young, her mother remarried. Gina grew up experiencing the trauma that results from having a parent who is an alcoholic, which contributed greatly to her having a fight, flight or fawn response throughout her life. After attending school she married and had three beautiful children. We discuss how generational trauma is passed down and how GenX women in particular are prone to wearing their “Wonder Woman Cape” and doing all the things and being all the things for everyone, except herself. Gina shares the dark period after her divorce, and the day she decided to change the entire trajectory of her life. Becoming a certified Life and Wellness Coach soon followed, which led to Gina creating the RESET (Recognize, Embrace, Shift, Empower, Transformation) Framework. Through the RESET Framework, Gina has helped her clients change their life by creating a bridge to transformation. She is creating a growing community of women who have hit midlife and are searching for guidance on how to find themselves again, or maybe even find themselves for the first time in their lives. Gina is also in the process of writing a book titled, “Gen X Reset", based on her RESET Framework. Additionally she has created the “RESET Circle” where her clients receive an informative newsletter from her. Whether it be perimenopause, menopause, trauma, divorce, fear, depression, anxiety or the other multitude of challenges people are facing midlife, Gina has created a tool to help. We also discuss raising adult children, where Gina offers a glimpse into one of the most challenging times of her life when her daughter was battling cancer. We loved our discussions with Gina and the insights she shared. She truly has her finger on the pulse of GenX and we encourage our listeners to reach out to her if they are in need of some guidance and support. We look forward to having Gina return to the studio to dive even deeper into some of the topics we discuss in this episode!
