Taking Back Happy | Faith & Encouragement for Midlife Women Reclaiming Their Joy

Do you feel liked you blinked and found yourself in midlife? Now that your kids are grown, does your confidence feel shaken? Do you feel your courage fading now that you are no longer so & so’s wife? Are you ready to try something new, but fear and doubt keep creeping in? Do you want a meaningful, joyful, and adventurous midlife?
I am so excited you are here! Through faith and encouragement this podcast will challenge old mindsets, build your confidence, help you find clarity, and renew your spark, as you step into “what’s next.”
Hi, I’m Gina. I am God’s girl, a retired homeschool mom of four, empty-nester, GG, essential oil & exercise enthusiast, and a Christian Life Coach.
For the past 10 years I have been digging myself out of an unhealthy marriage and rediscovering God’s joy and purpose beyond raising kids.
For the longest time, I honestly believed I would never be as happy and fulfilled as I was being a homeschool mom.
In recent years, I began to realize that to truly enjoy this season of life, I needed to replace negative thoughts with curiosity and possibility. I started seeing myself as someone with unique gifts ready to share with the world.
Since making that shift, my life has become filled with deep joy, renewed passion, a clear sense of purpose, plenty of adventure and new beginnings. And I’m ready to share what I learned with you.
If you’re a woman who’s ready to take back your happy and start…
trying new things
building your self confidence
developing deeper relationships 
reclaiming your joy
and finding clarity as you decide what’s next in midlife, then this podcast is for you!
Throw on those walking shoes, pop in those earbuds, and join me as we Take Back Happy together.

What if helping isn't actually helping? What if love doesn't always solve, sometimes it just stays. What if we consider the peace we can have when we don't focus on making everything better.
Join Gina for a freeing conversation about sharing the gift of our presence, while letting go of rescuing loved ones, fixing their circumstances, and preventing their pain.

There comes a point in midlife when we realize strength doesn't come from doing everything ourselves, it comes from who we let stand beside us. In this episode I interview my friend and mentor, Shelenea Harris.
We talk about her life and ministry as well as the importance of circling the wagons in midlife; gathering woman who encourage us, mentor us, pray with us and remind us who we are, and whose we are, when we forget.
Check out Shelena's book: A Cowboy Devotional: How Faith, Hope And Love Made a Rodeo Family
