What if healing isn't about returning to who you were, but becoming who you were created to be? This episode of Healing Mindset is for anyone carrying old hurt and wondering where to begin.
Former bartender, former Catholic nun, and end-of-life doula Gina Economopoulos shares her journey of faith and eleven years of sobriety, why healing isn't "microwaveable," and how routine and gratitude keep her moving forward.
About the Guest:
Gina Economopoulos grew up on Long Island and now lives on the Jersey Shore. A former bartender and former Catholic nun, she is an end-of-life doula and author of Shake the Dust Off Your Feet and Walk.
Key Takeaways:
- Healing is a journey, not a destination. It's freedom, peace, and becoming.
- There is no shame in being wounded. We all carry something.
- Fear of being hurt again often keeps us stuck. You don't have to face it alone.
- Start by telling one trusted person, or your higher power, what you've been carrying.
- Keep a daily routine of gratitude, even on days you don't feel it.
