Genuine Chats with Gina - Windfalls

Gina Gardiner 12 Jun 2019 Genuine Chats 0 comments

Welcome to our latest Genuine Chat - today's topic is WINDFALLS. Did you hear about the massive £120+million euro lottery win that some lucky person in the UK has just received? Wow! Imagine waking up one day and being suddenly that rich. It would change your life forever. Now I say, "lucky" person, but the statistics on this are interesting - more often than not a massive amount of money landing in your lap suddenly has a rather negative effect in the long term. Which is interesting isnt it - because we're all guilty of wishing we could "just win the lottery" in the belief that it would "solve all our problems". So it seems that WINDFALLS are not always the fantastically great thing that they may first appear to be. Lets talk about why that might be the case...

Is Marriage Harder Today Than in Generations Past?

Gina Gardiner 12 Jun 2019 Marriage , Relationships 0 comments

Life has changed remarkably since World War 2. Until then marriage was seen as a contract far more binding than it is now. The reality was that once they were married, most women had few opportunities to be independent and to fulfill their needs and dreams outside the home. Society had a very clear view of what was acceptable, and this was generally based on what worked well for the children and the husband.

Are You the Partner of a Workaholic?

Do you feel as if you play second fiddle to their work? Is it left to you to make excuses to the children, to family and friends because they are late or too busy to attend? Do you send the evenings on your own – even when they are in the house? Is your partner too busy or too tired to pay you the attention you need and deserve? Is your life being affected because of the demands of your partner’s work? Do you feel your own sense of self and your confidence are being eroded because they pay more attention to their work? Are you feeling lonely and left out even though you are in a relationship?

Gina Gardiner 5 Jun 2019 Genuine Chats 0 comments

The theme for today is SACRIFICE. We have the 75th D-Day Anniversary in mind when we decided to talk upon this subject. A point in time when many made the ultimate sacrifice in order to ensure the continuation of something that they thought important. We wanted to explore what this means, why such sacrifices are celebrated or revered and debate if sacrificing one's own life, dreams, opinion is always a good thing to do...

Why Do Married Couples Suffer In Silence?

Gina Gardiner 28 May 2019 Love , Marriage , Relationships 0 comments

There appears to be a huge mismatch between the romantic fairy story of “Happy Ever After” and the reality for many married couples who find the reality of being married to their spouse very different than their ideal. This puts a huge strain on a couple’s relationship from the outset. For many couples the problems start to manifest themselves quite quickly after all the razzmatazz of the ceremony is over. So why do couples say nothing?

Genuine Chat with Gina - The Hero Journey

Gina Gardiner 22 May 2019 Genuine Chats 0 comments

Today we are exploring The Hero's Journey. There is so much story, legend and myth over the "hero" character, it is an archetype and all of humanity no matter what the race or creed recognises the Hero. Why is this? Why do we love a good hero story? What is it within our souls that has the hero calling out to us? What does hero mean to you? How do you know if you are a hero? Is it only ever possible to see the hero story in retrospective review? Does being a hero automatically result in a happy, successful and fulfilling life?

If I am not my job.... then who am I?

When you ask people about themselves they will very often answer by telling you what they do rather than who they are. Our sense of identity is coloured by what we do.

There is an endless variety to the roles we undertake.
