Gina’s Expertise
HUMAN INTEREST
Gina’s story is proof that resilience is built, not born.
After losing hearing in her left ear at 21, she fought to regain it years later. She’s faced fears head-on — from open-water shark dives to snake handling — and completed civilian SERE training. A former stand-up comedian, actress, and children’s author, Gina founded EmpowerLit, a nonprofit helping students believe in themselves through reading and storytelling.
MINDSET / REAL-LIFE RESILIENCE
Gina trained alongside a Navy SEAL and learned what most people never do — how to stay calm under chaos and disciplined under doubt. Her lessons on grit, focus, and mental conditioning have been shaped through real discomfort, not theory. She teaches everyday people how to override fear, build routines that last, and find strength when it matters most.
BUSINESS & IMPACT
As the co-founder of Spheremoji, Gina turned emotional wellness into something tangible — plushies that remind people they’re not alone. Through her companies, podcast, and nonprofit, she’s reached thousands with one mission: to help others think stronger, live braver, and never quit.
