Gina Kunadian on The Importance of Mindset
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.
