Genuine Chats - Are People Doing Their Best

Gina Gardiner 26 Jun 2019 Genuine Chats 0 comments

Genuine Chat with Gina - are people doing the best they can? Are you doing the best you can? For today's chat I am taking inspiration from a discussion that I saw between the great Brene Brown and Russell Brand. They were discussing if, on the whole, they respectively held the belief that, on the whole, people are doing the best that they are capable of. This got me thinking about what it means to stand in judgement of another person, of how to live with healthy emotional and behavioral boundaries, and how to find greater compassion for my fellow human beings. In short it got me thinking if *I* am doing the best I can - so I decided to have a chat about it with my good friend and author, Rachel Davidson.

Genuine Chats with Gina - Windfalls

Gina Gardiner 12 Jun 2019 Genuine Chats 0 comments

Welcome to our latest Genuine Chat - today's topic is WINDFALLS. Did you hear about the massive £120+million euro lottery win that some lucky person in the UK has just received? Wow! Imagine waking up one day and being suddenly that rich. It would change your life forever. Now I say, "lucky" person, but the statistics on this are interesting - more often than not a massive amount of money landing in your lap suddenly has a rather negative effect in the long term. Which is interesting isnt it - because we're all guilty of wishing we could "just win the lottery" in the belief that it would "solve all our problems". So it seems that WINDFALLS are not always the fantastically great thing that they may first appear to be. Lets talk about why that might be the case...

Is Marriage Harder Today Than in Generations Past?

Gina Gardiner 12 Jun 2019 Marriage , Relationships 0 comments

Life has changed remarkably since World War 2. Until then marriage was seen as a contract far more binding than it is now.
