Gina Shkeda x How The Rise Of My Socials Changed My Life

On this week’s episode of Saint Podcast, we welcome the multi-talented, worldwide known beauty influencer Gina Shkeda; who shares her narrative on living life in the limelight, what she did to get there, and how it got her to the dream path that she is currently emerging in now. After one viral video and directing her way through the spotlight at only the age of 17 years old, Gina has executed many skills and talents, mostly within the entertainment industry. After graduating from Vancouver Film School, she began basking in her skills and started pursuing professional wedding photography and videography, content creating and has since indulged in all things music and art. But it hasn’t all been glamorous; with living a life so exposed and accessible to the public, struggles with mental health began to arise, making her begin to question whether or not this avenue was the direction for her. Starting off her 20’s as a beauty guru and now shifting her way to the music and entertainment industry, Gina has decided to take on the pursuit of producing music and live DJing, making a complete 180 in her career. We are thrilled to have been able to sit down with Gina and listen to her story on how she navigated through the switch, the ups and downs of her journey, and how she has maintained the duality of having influencer status but still embracing the journey and struggles in her average day to day life. With hard work and dedication, Gina proves to us that it is more than possible to chase your dreams and live the life that you desire. It’s never too late to switch paths, and no limits are ever out of reach. Believe in yourself and know that you hold the power to create your own pathway to success.
