In this conversation, I chat with executive coach Gina Martin, whose journey to executive coach and cancer survivor reveals the power of living in alignment with one’s values. Together they explore how self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and integrity shape the way we lead and love — both in business and in life.

Gina shares how her experience with breast cancer redefined her core values, moving achievement to the backseat and elevating love, health, and family.
