Staying Sane When The World Is In Turmoil w/ Gina Vild

from Older Women & Friends: Stories of Aging Well

Join me in this enlightening episode as I sit down with Gina Vild, author of The Two Most Important Days: How to Find Your Purpose and Live a Happier and Healthier Life. I don't know about you, but I've been in a constant state of fight or flight. It feels as if the United States and the rest of the world are upside down and that there is very little we can do to find joy and awe. Enter Gina Vild and the wisdom she brings to the table, essential wisdom if we are to survive and thrive. Gina shares her journey from political activist to communication director, from associate dean at Harvard Medical School, to author. She talks about how poetry, personal purpose, and setting emotional boundaries can transform your life and find joy and awe in everyday moments. It is these moments and moments that we relive from our past that can change our brain waves and levels of "feel good" chemicals like serotonin. Tune in to learn how to navigate life's challenges with grace and strength. Habits that help us stay sane in tumultuous times.https://www.linkedin.com/in/gina-vild-908a648/https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/gina-vildhttps://www.instagram.com/ginavild/https://www.facebook.com/gina.vild/https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B075FFS7NM?ccs_id=71032ad2-f47c-48f8-8518-35e72e6f4d84POETRYWilliam Stafford, "Yes"https://reflections.yale.edu/article/reformation-writing-next-chapter/poem-yesWilliam Stafford, "Thread"https://www.slowmuse.com/2019/06/16/the-thread/Ilana Landsberg-Lewishttps://www.wizwork.net/sign-uphttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ilanalandsberglewis/https://ilanalandsberglewis.com/elementor-1000/
