Building an Aligned, Freedom Focused Business w/ Gina Keeping
In this episode, Steph sits down with her new friend and fellow entrepreneur, Gina Keeping. Gina is a passionate business and mindset mentor who has walked a unique path defying societal norms along the way. After experiencing her “silver lining moment” – despite debilitating situational depression, anxiety and extreme burnout – she broke free from the conventional and safe path of her teaching career and decided to create a life and business on her own terms. Since then, her powerful voice and kind heart is giving people permission to break through self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and societal expectations and create a life that is truly extraordinary.
Gina emphasizes the importance of focusing on impact rather than vanity metrics like likes and followers. She encourages entrepreneurs to create a win list and celebrate their successes. Gina highlights the need to reprogram ourselves to look for the things that are going well in our business and to define success based on our own values. She also discusses the balance between working hard and taking intentional rest, and the importance of pushing our comfort zones while enjoying life.
Certified as a Strategic Intervention Life Coach with the prestigious Robbins-Madanes Training, and trainings in DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and a 15-year teaching career, her coaching and leadership is unparalleled. You are going to love this conversation with Gina, a true trail blazer– illuminating the path for others to burn the rule book and write the rules of their own lives.
