In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Gina Schneider, where Gina shared her story of growing up in poverty. She dropped out of high school to work and make ends meet, but her determination and unwillingness to give up on her dreams led her to become a highly polished professional, author, executive coach, and licensed psychotherapist.

During the episode, we discussed the importance of having positive beliefs for managing stress and creating separation. Gina emphasized the need to watch our beliefs and make sure they're working on our behalf. We also talked about the difficulty of sharing personal traumas and how it can be challenging for people to handle.

As a psychotherapist, Gina has worked with thousands of people, giving her remarkable insight into the human psyche. She encourages ethical coaching and referring clients to psychotherapists when necessary.

Overall, it was a fascinating conversation, and I highly recommend this episode to anyone looking for inspiration and motivation. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review to help this podcast reach and inspire more people. Thank you for tuning in to "Between the Before and After."
