In today’s episode, Gia shares her journey working to make a difference in the world from a space of heart, compassion, and determination to make it happen. Gia shares with us her love and passion to help people, who want to help people, take action to make a difference in the world. Gia’s goal is to inspire people to think about how we’re all connected and to remind them that most of us really want the same things. To love and be loved. To feel like we matter. She’s on a mission to brighten the world by creating more love, compassion, and understanding, and in this week’s new episode she offers her top tips to take care of ourselves, while taking care of others.

Through her work as a podcaster, speaker, facilitator, and creator of the Revolution Super Love movement, she is on a mission to brighten the world through creating more love, compassion, and understanding.

“I was on the verge of burnout, trying to play ‘all’ the roles. I was constantly torn, often feeling guilty, and I was struggling to stay present and not hit a wall at the same time. I knew that I couldn’t keep this up, so I got a tattoo! It was a permanent self-care reminder, and I chose the word matter. To me that meant making a difference in the world, to matter, in my life and in the lives of others and to remind myself to matter, or be present, with whoever I’m with or whatever I’m working on. Eventually I started to help other people get started with their heart work, too.”
