Gina Gardiner & Friends with Kathleen Heubner on Inner Peace - Listening to One's Inner Whispers
From Kathleen Heubner: When I divorced my husband, I hit rock bottom. I felt unworthy, like a failure, lacking purpose, direction, and passion. I felt completely lost. I realized I was walking behind him for years rather than alongside him, and I wasn’t living for ME. That’s when I knew something needed to change. Through coaching, movement, and aligning my mind, body, and spirit, I finally found the happiness I had been searching for. A fire was lit inside me, and I wanted others to feel the same joy I found. YOUR COACH AND MENTOR. My Mission is to empower and guide you to create inner peace and personal growth by focusing on an action plan encompassing the mind, body, and spirit. I believe that each person's journey is unique and that empathy and understanding are essential to helping people find their life purpose and strive to become their best selves. I am here to give you the tools and guidance to find direction and uncover the beliefs, emotions, and patterns that no longer serve you — the tools that allow you to become more confident, effective, and fulfilled. I can’t wait for you to experience the freedom and joy that comes from within when you finally discover how to live the luxurious life you so deeply desire! Website: https://whisperswithinus.com

Gina Gardiner & Friends - Ravinol Chambers You Don't Find Purpose Once You Keep Discovering It
Ravinol Chambers is an Irish-born monk turned movie maker, focusing on stories that cross boundaries and aim to connect us as humans, at the deepest level. As a teenager in Dublin he wanted to be a stockbroker, but his search for deeper meaning was to take him east, on a very different journey. After studying Psychology at university, he committed most of his twenties to a life of devotion, meditation and service, studying and living by the philosophy of the ancient Vedas, as a full-time Krishna monk. During this time he spent a year living in India, studying the ancient books of wisdom alongside the culture and traditions that seek to support a life, lived in pursuit of higher ideals. Ravinol and his British Indian wife have been happily married since 2006 and have two boys. Making this film has challenged the gender roles in their own marriage and made them deeply consider the importance of bringing up their boys to be gender equitable, in a world that often sends messages to the contrary. The film poses the question - how can we take tradition, culture and wisdom from the past, and bring it into the future, so it is practical and helpful? 'A Girl Can Touch The Sky' is Ravinol's debut feature-length documentary. Website: https://www.agirlcantouchthesky.com

Gina Gardiner & Friends - Marta Czajkowska - Going within - Rewiring the nervous system
Meet Marta Czajkowska I left Poland after seeing a climbing movie about Yosemite. I was eighteen, had two hundred dollars and the conviction that freedom was somewhere on the other side of a hard enough climb. For thirty years I chased summits across the remote reaches of the planet, from El Cap to Fitz Roy to Tasmania to the big walls of Yosemite. I taught technical rockcraft to Navy special warfare teams, in places where a dysregulated nervous system is the difference between coming home and not. For a long time the climbing was the answer. And underneath all of it, a nagging question kept running: what does freedom actually mean, if I've built a whole life to escape into it? I was very good at one thing in particular, and it had nothing to do with rock. World-class at overriding myself. Minimize, manage, keep going, don't be the problem. When I broke my back, the first thing I said was, let's not tell anyone. That instinct kept me alive across three decades in environments that punish hesitation. It was brilliant. And then it kept going, right past the signals my body was sending, well past the point where it was serving me, because the override doesn't turn itself off when the environment changes. It performs as discipline. As drive. As the thing everyone admires. And you cannot see it from inside it. So I know the difference between a woman who is strong and a woman who has learned to override herself. I was the latter for most of my life. I came back from the other side of that collapse with both a story and the science to explain it. Most people have one or the other. The story without the framework, or the framework without the lived cost. Mine came out of the full collision: thirty years where regulation determined whether I lived, and the specific experience of watching the same pattern that kept me alive nearly take me down a different way entirely. That collision is the work I do now. Eight years of coaching senior women and leaders, running a continuous coaching group. I nurture and protect my clients the way I was never protected. I train the capacity underneath the performing, in real mountains, so the women I work with can lead and decide and meet what's in front of them without abandoning themselves to get through it. I hold the parts most coaches sidestep. The grief. The fear. The version of you that is ending so a truer one can form. The entire hard-things industry is built by men for the performance of more, and I do the opposite work: healing over achievement, which is the correction that industry has never made. I learned why the hard way, and I will not run you the way I was once run. Website: https://mastersofbadassery.com

She has been fascinated by people since childhood. She has always been drawn to those from other cultures and backgrounds and has a curious mindset and love of learning. She is a connector, a collaborator and highly energetic and passionate about whatever she does. Growing up, Renée wanted to be a performer, a nurse, a teacher and a journalist.

Gina Gardiner & Friends with Daniel Kapadia-Competition is a great tool for self-reflection
Meet Daniel Kapadia In 2005, at sixteen, I signed with Team Dignitas and became one of the world's top Quake players. I won the iFNG London LAN, taking the Quake 3 one-on-one final against Garpy. I took first at the 2005 ESWC UK qualifier in Quake 3 duel and went on to compete at the ESWC Masters of Paris and ESWC San Jose, took second at CovLAN, the biggest Quake 4 LAN, at the QuakeLive EuroCup, and at the ESL Major Series in QuakeLive team deathmatch, and won multiple Quake team titles. I captained national teams to several top-four finishes and rebuilt a roster from the third division to the first. Across Quake, Quake Champions, and Diabotical, the through-line never changed: perform on the day, under the lights, or lose. Competition has been my arena ever since. Website: https://ddkesports.com
