31: A personal retreat for the soul - Dance Studio owner, philanthropist, and adventurer Gina Eady

Welcome back everyone! I am excited to share this interview with you. Today we are talking to my good friend Gina Eady. Gina is one of those people that lights up a room. Her inspiration and joy are contagious. But on top of all of that, she’s a certified badass. 

 

In high school, Gina asked her parents to tear out their basement and build her a dance studio. They obliged and at 17 Gina was in business. She taught dance lessons in the basement of her parents’ house to pay for college. After graduation she opened her first location and now has 4 Jive Dance Studios in Utah. 

 

Everything was going great, until it wasn’t. At one point, the world Gina knew fell apart around her. She separated from her husband, and with that, lost an entire community of friends. She found herself alone. For the next year she prayed for God to end it all, but this wasn’t going to be her life. Gina started to rediscover her power and take control.    

 

She determined what is important to her and has dedicated her energy to aligning her actions and behaviors to the life that she wants. Her belief:  “We are put here to have what we want, not get what we don’t want. So when I see something I want, I figure out how to get it.” Gina says. 

 

Searching for inspiration, love, and joy, she discovered it. And as you’ll see in this episode, she exudes it.  Enjoy this conversation with Gina Eady. 

In this episode Gina shares her rapid-fire practice for getting unstuck when you feel down on yourself. 

In third person tell yourself:

• I'm so proud of you
