***Most recent interview regarding moving forward and clearing the decks!***

Welcome to this episode of Carmen's Coaching Corner. In this episode I have a woman who has a wealth and fountain of wisdom! My lovely friend, Gina Pollard. We touch on quite a few different topics, including; grief, trauma, abuse and going through life transitions.

 
 

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Gina provided a safe and objective, yet nurturing environment to help me deal with a traumatic family death. I am thankful I had a friend refer me to her. She helped me find a direction at a chaotic spiraling time of my life. Sometimes we find ourselves without an oar and she allowed me to find mine.”
— SW
“Gina has been a key part of my emotional health. She is comforting, but straight forward. Gina pushes her clients to stretch their boundaries and become more at peace with whatever is going on in their lives.”
— LF
“There is something about being in a conversation with Gina that is so liberating. She is powerfully aware of your truest spaces, fully engaged in your pursuit of healing and tirelessly faithful to offer the right words at the right time. She shows up for the people who have been left behind, battered and left helpless. She is an advocate for the tired in heart and for the abandoned. ”
— SM
“ ... she provided a compassionate ear but did not merely provide solace. She had a vision of health for my family, toward which she gently encouraged us—at a time when we had little hope of surviving what had happened. She did this in a way that provided dignity and good boundaries. I cannot compliment her services more highly.”
— KF
“Gina has a way of making you feel safe that immediately lets the healing process begin. The way Gina vulnerably chose to let me into her own loss history gave me the freedom to go deep in my looking at my losses.

Every time I meet with Gina I feel strengthened to live in a more authentic way.”
— JE
“I have known Gina for a number of years. She is one of the most compassionate people on this planet. She is filled with grace and kindness. She also has a wicked sense of humor.”
— RF
 
 

SERVICES

“God, why do I storm heaven for answers that are already in my heart? Every grace I need has already been given me. Oh, lead me to the Beyond within. ”
— Macrina Wieherkehr

... As Yourself: Soulful Self-Compassion.

“self-compassion involves wanting health and well-being for oneself and leads to proactive behavior to better one’s situation, rather than passivity. And self-compassion doesn’t mean that I think my problems are more important than yours, it just means I think that my problems are also important and worthy of being attended to.”  ― Kristin Neff, PhD

In eight weekly 90-minute meetings sessions you’ll:

  • learn the difference between self-esteem and self-compassion, 

  • learn skills to help you be kinder to yourself, 

  • learn mindfulness practices to help you regulate strong emotions, 

  • develop the strength to change self-sabotaging habits

  • find resilience when difficulties arise

  • allow yourself to enjoy good times without waiting for the other shoe to drop
