I loved the voice in my head when I read her say “oh Jane…“ I could see her posture change, and the energy in the room shifted to some things, so beautiful, tender, and vulnerable. But with such delight. All with those two words.

This was lovely to read. So much that I share with Gina! And now I need to read her books and reread the Unbearable Lightness of Being!

Did you ever hide books from your parents is a fabulous question! I didn’t expect Gina’s answer but as a fellow Gen Xer I loved where she took it. So true! Maybe this is why I didn’t have to hide books from my parents either? I enjoyed Gina’s memoir - couldn’t put it down. Thanks for this interview!

Another terrific interview, Jane, probing and provocative questions, as always, with deep, honest and authentic responses from Gina. You two make a great pair! What resonated most with me was being able to live in a state of Grace from so many friends and family, with acceptance and appreciation for who I am, how I got here, and what we're all about. I just keep on bringing whatever I can to each day to try and make things better for everyone in their pursuits and passions for living fully in the present. And that's enough for anyone. Did you ever think about adding a 12th question to your interviews? I keep remembering the wonderful James Lipton and that series, "Actor's Studio." Thanks for being who you are, Jane, and what you bring to this conversation.
