Finding Balance, Overcoming Burnout & Embracing Change—with Gina Ramirez 🌿

Hello Unstoppable Overcomers family!

We’re back with another empowering episode that resonates with many of us who strive to balance busy careers, family, and self-care. This week, host Dorothy O’Dell sits down with the inspiring Gina Ramirez—a certified health coach, licensed counsellor, yoga instructor, AND worksite wellness specialist. If you missed our conversation, here’s your inside scoop!

Gina’s Journey: From Burnout to Balance Gina’s story is far too familiar: as a working mom, she found herself running on empty—until her health sent her a wake-up call she couldn’t ignore. Hair loss, falling asleep at the wheel, and deep exhaustion were red flags she couldn’t push aside. Instead of continuing on autopilot, Gina chose a new path—one that led her from therapy to holistic health coaching. Her mission? Helping women design both the careers and the lives they truly crave.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✨ Mind-Body-Behavior Connection: Gina breaks down how our thoughts, bodies, and habits are deeply interconnected. If you want a happier, healthier life, focusing on all three is essential, not just slapping a “positive thinking” mantra on stress!

✨ Tackling Hormone Havoc Hormonal shifts like perimenopause & menopause can stir up mood swings, brain fog, night sweats, and even job performance issues. Gina encourages women to prioritize nutrition, movement, restful sleep, and supportive community connections before resorting to medications. Tiny, doable steps create real, sustainable change!

✨ The Power of Community You’re not meant to go it alone. Gina shares how finding “your tribe” and having the right support system makes all the difference—yes, even coaches need coaches!

✨ Self-Worth & Slowing Down So many of us tie our value to output, but busyness isn’t a badge of honour. Gina and Dorothy delve into breaking the cycle of people-pleasing, guilt, and family/work programming that keeps us running ourselves ragged—permission to rest is granted.

✨ Facing Your Fears Did you know Gina is terrified of heights, but has been skydiving (twice!) and rock climbing? Sometimes, the most freeing moments come when we do the thing that scares us most.

Upcoming with Gina If you’re in the Boise area, Gina’s offering yoga and infant massage classes, and hosting a virtual 10-day community detox next month—a gentle way to reset body and mind (yes, you can still eat meat!).
