Have you ever made the bold decision to stop drinking—only to wonder, Why doesn’t anyone talk about this part? In this heartfelt solo episode, I’m diving deep into the raw, unspoken truths about early sobriety. Because while making the choice to go alcohol-free is incredibly powerful, the early days can feel confusing, emotional, and even a little lonely. No one really prepares you for the identity shifts, the emotional waves, or the awkward social invites where you’re not sure if you’ll fit in without a drink in your hand.But you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not doing it wrong. Together, we’ll walk through the common (but rarely discussed) experiences of those first few weeks and months—including the emotional intensity that surfaces once we’re no longer numbing, the unexpected boredom or restlessness, the FOMO during parties and events, and the quiet moments where self-doubt creeps in. More importantly, I’ll offer you practical tools and mindset shifts to help you move through it all with clarity and self-compassion—so you can stay grounded in your “why” and begin to build a sober life that actually feels good.I’ll also guide you through a short, gentle meditation to support you in those moments when everything feels overwhelming—so you can come back to your breath, your truth, and your inner light. Whether you’re sober curious, newly alcohol-free, or simply looking for more support, this episode is a loving reminder that healing isn’t always pretty, but it is always worth it.CONNECT WITH GINA: Book a Free Call: https://calendly.com/ginakunadian/connect-call-15-minVisit my Website: http://www.ginakunadian.com/Follow Gina: https://linktr.ee/Ginakunadian RESOURCES: My TEDx TalkSobriety: Unlocking Freedom | Gina Kunadian |TEDxPort Saint Luciehttps://youtu.be/73OvW8T2VkM?si=tynb80rJPtCidORrListeners Gift’s: 6-Step Blueprint To An Alcohol-Free Life and navigate the action steps I took to stay sober.

Have you ever found yourself stuck in the “messy middle”—not quite at rock bottom, but not fully healed either? You’re not alone. In this episode of the Shine Within podcast, I sit down with the radiant and real Cat Greenleaf, the creator and former host of NBC’s Talk Stoop. For years, Cat graced our screens interviewing A-list celebrities—from musicians and actors to politicians and thought leaders. But her newest chapter? Even more powerful.Now the host of Soberness, Cat is still interviewing big names—but this time, the conversation is about addiction, recovery, identity, and what it truly means to start over. She shares how her own journey pulled her out of the entertainment spotlight and into the heart of what really matters: truth, healing, and connection. We dive into why she believes “whatever works” is the most honest recovery philosophy, how she’s reframed sobriety without shame or perfection, and why rage, reinvention, and radical self-acceptance are crucial parts of the process.This conversation is for anyone navigating a transformation, questioning their path, or just craving permission to be human. You’ll walk away feeling seen, supported, and inspired to trust your own timing.✨ Listen now—and remember: there’s no perfect way to heal, only your way.🐍Connect with Cat Greenleaf:🌐 Website: https://soberness.comPodcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/soberness-podcast/id1768121457YouTube:https://youtube.com/@sobernesspodcast?si=wAPMRps6p0rEYpyGFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61566575304950IG:https://www.instagram.com/sobernesspodcast?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==CONNECT WITH GINA: Book a Free Call: https://calendly.com/ginakunadian/connect-call-15-minVisit my Website: http://www.ginakunadian.com/Follow Gina: https://linktr.ee/Ginakunadian RESOURCES: My TEDx TalkSobriety: Unlocking Freedom | Gina Kunadian |TEDxPort Saint Luciehttps://youtu.be/73OvW8T2VkM?si=tynb80rJPtCidORrListeners Gift’s: 6-Step Blueprint To An Alcohol-Free Life and navigate the action steps I took to stay sober.

Have you ever felt like a relapse erased all your progress? You’re not alone, and I’m here to tell you: it didn’t. In this deeply heartfelt solo episode of Shine Within, I open up about one of the most misunderstood and shame-filled parts of the sobriety journey—relapse. We talk about the real, raw truth: that relapse is not failure, it’s feedback. It’s a chapter in the story, not the final sentence. I share encouragement, insight, and powerful reminders that your worth isn’t defined by one moment, but by your continued choice to rise. You’ll hear statistics around relapse and recovery that may surprise you, and a story of a woman who stumbled more than once—but got back up and is now living fully free. Whether you’re in the midst of a slip or supporting someone who is, this episode is here to remind you to give yourself grace, keep your eyes on the vision, and remember that healing is never linear. 💛 You are not broken—you are becoming. Press play and let’s talk about it, sister.CONNECT WITH GINA: Book a Free Call: https://calendly.com/ginakunadian/connect-call-15-minVisit my Website: http://www.ginakunadian.com/Follow Gina: https://linktr.ee/Ginakunadian RESOURCES: My TEDx TalkSobriety: Unlocking Freedom | Gina Kunadian |TEDxPort Saint Luciehttps://youtu.be/73OvW8T2VkM?si=tynb80rJPtCidORrListeners Gift’s: 6-Step Blueprint To An Alcohol-Free Life and navigate the action steps I took to stay sober.

What if your body already held the wisdom you've been seeking? 💫In this deeply nourishing episode of the Shine Within Podcast, I’m joined by Anna Finck—a visionary Wellness Architect and creator of Embodied Wellness. Together, we dive into a soul-expanding conversation about what it means to truly listen to your body and live in harmony with your inner wisdom. Anna shares her transformational journey from walking away from medical school to healing her own health conditions naturally, defying conventional expectations and becoming the evidence for holistic healing. We explore her revolutionary concept of the “Pre-Conception Era,” a sacred and often overlooked season of a woman’s life where preparation for motherhood—and true embodiment—begins long before conception. Anna offers insight into reconnecting with our bodies, reclaiming radiant health, and designing a life in alignment with who we were always meant to be. This episode is for every woman ready to rise in her power, tune into her body’s intelligence, and step into the fullness of who she is.🔗 Connect with Anna Finck:🌐 Website: http://www.annafinck.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamannafinck?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/iamannafinck/⁠YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@annafinck 💌 Email : anna@annafinck.comCONNECT WITH GINA: Book a Free Call: https://calendly.com/ginakunadian/connect-call-15-minVisit my Website: http://www.ginakunadian.com/Follow Gina: https://linktr.ee/Ginakunadian RESOURCES: My TEDx TalkSobriety: Unlocking Freedom | Gina Kunadian |TEDxPort Saint Luciehttps://youtu.be/73OvW8T2VkM?si=tynb80rJPtCidORrListeners Gift’s: 6-Step Blueprint To An Alcohol-Free Life and navigate the action steps I took to stay sober.

✨ What if the version of you that the world truly needs… is the one you’ve spent years hiding? ✨In this soul-awakening episode of the Shine Within Podcast, I sit down with the radiant and unapologetically real Evelyne Brink, former Europe’s #1 Madonna impersonator turned Voice & Visibility Coach for high-impact leaders. Evelyne takes us on an unforgettable journey — from center stage performing as a global icon to helping women rediscover the power of their own voice, truth, and presence.We dive deep into the trance of perfectionism and people-pleasing, exploring why so many women silence their inner truth to fit into boxes that were never meant for them. Evelyne breaks down how authentic expression is not only liberating — it’s life-giving. She shares powerful tools and soulful wisdom to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have gone quiet — after burnout, motherhood, trauma, or simply trying to “be enough.”You’ll hear us talk about why expression is aliveness, how to let go of the performance and be fully YOU, and why your story, your voice, and your truth are exactly what this world needs right now.If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your voice or unsure how to show up in your full light… this episode will meet you where you are and help you rise.Connect with Evelyne:https://www.linkedin.com/in/evelynebrink/https://www.instagram.com/evelynebrink/https://www.evelynebrink.com/Free masterclass: Speak confidently in public - https://www.evelynebrink.com/free-training CONNECT WITH GINA: Book a Free Call: https://calendly.com/ginakunadian/connect-call-15-minVisit my Website: http://www.ginakunadian.com/Follow Gina: https://linktr.ee/Ginakunadian RESOURCES: My TEDx TalkSobriety: Unlocking Freedom | Gina Kunadian |TEDxPort Saint Luciehttps://youtu.be/73OvW8T2VkM?si=tynb80rJPtCidORrListeners Gift’s: 6-Step Blueprint To An Alcohol-Free Life and navigate the action steps I took to stay sober.

What if the voice in your head telling you you're not enough…was never really yours to begin with? In this powerful episode of the Shine Within Podcast, Gina Kunadian sits down with transformational guide and The Revelation Project podcast host Monica Rodgers to explore the insidious "trance of unworthiness"—a subconscious belief system that keeps so many women stuck in patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and performance.Monica shares her own awakening journey, from living a life that looked successful on the outside to unraveling the deep inner narratives that kept her disconnected from her truth. She introduces us to practices like medicine painting, embodiment work, and mythological storytelling that support women in reclaiming their authentic voice and remembering their innate wholeness. Together, Gina and Monica unpack how reclaiming emotional expression, self-approval, and radical honesty can unlock a new way of living—one rooted in feminine power and truth.This episode is an invitation to take off the mask, turn inward, and shine from your most authentic self. Whether you’ve been navigating burnout, identity shifts, or a quiet longing for more, Monica’s insights will leave you feeling seen, stirred, and spiritually supported.Website: http://jointherevelation.com   Podcast: http://podcast.jointherevelation.com   Facebook: @revelationwomanInstagram: @revelationwomanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lifeisarevelation/CONNECT WITH GINA: Book a Free Call: https://calendly.com/ginakunadian/connect-call-15-minVisit my Website: http://www.ginakunadian.com/Follow Gina: https://linktr.ee/Ginakunadian RESOURCES: My TEDx TalkSobriety: Unlocking Freedom | Gina Kunadian |TEDxPort Saint Luciehttps://youtu.be/73OvW8T2VkM?si=tynb80rJPtCidORrListeners Gift’s: 6-Step Blueprint To An Alcohol-Free Life and navigate the action steps I took to stay sober.

Have you ever wondered what it truly takes to reclaim your voice after years—maybe even decades—of silence?In this deeply moving episode of the Shine Within Podcast, I sit down with Andrea Leeb, author of the courageous memoir Such a Pretty Picture, to explore the raw and real journey from trauma to healing. Andrea shares her story of surviving childhood sexual abuse, the heavy weight of secrecy she carried for years, and how writing her memoir became a profound act of reclamation and liberation. Together, we talk about how trauma lives in the body, what it means to forgive (or not forgive), and how survivors can begin to find safety, strength, and self-love again. Andrea also opens up about her work advocating for other survivors, her involvement with the UCLA Rape Treatment Center, and how stepping into her truth created a ripple effect of healing and hope for others.

What if abundance had nothing to do with how much money you make—and everything to do with how you choose to live today? In this inspiring episode of the Shine Within Podcast, I sit down with Scarlett Stanhope, also known as The Biz Hippie, to explore how our relationship with money shapes not only our financial reality but also our sense of self-worth, joy, and freedom.

Have you ever felt that twinge of guilt for simply putting yourself first? For taking a breath, setting a boundary, or saying “no” without explanation? In this empowering episode of the Shine Within Podcast, I’m speaking with the inspiring SaCola Lehr, and together we dive into a heart-centered conversation about what it really takes to care for yourself without the weight of guilt dragging you down.
