The Day She Stopped Leaving Herself in the Car

When Rachel came to me, she was at a breaking point.

She had just lost a 7-year career—abruptly, painfully—and despite showing up every day to apply for jobs, nothing was landing.

“I felt invisible,” she told me. “Buried under fear and financial stress… like I was on a train I couldn’t stop.”

Her words hit me hard. Because I’ve walked that track before.
The one where your spark dims, and you start questioning everything about your worth.

During our sessions, we talked a lot about the interviews she’d been on. She spoke about her strengths—strategic, driven, high-performing.

Masculine energy.
The kind that gets applauded in the corporate world.
But there was more. So much more.

As she shared stories of mentoring colleagues, managing emotional dynamics with grace, and creating harmony in high-stress environments, I felt it:

She was unconsciously leaving her feminine gifts—intuition, compassion, emotional intelligence—in the car when she walked into those interviews.

Why?

Because somewhere along the way, she’d learned that softness doesn’t get you hired.
That empathy isn’t a resume skill.
That being “too feeling” makes you seem weak.

But here’s the truth we uncovered together:
Those hidden qualities weren’t a liability.
They were her edge.

Through energy work and coaching, we cleared the noise, rewired old beliefs, and reconnected her to the powerful woman she had buried under years of performance and perfectionism.

As she said:

“Gina helped me reclaim the parts of me I had silenced — especially the feminine gifts I thought I had to hide to be taken seriously in the corporate world. With her support, I didn’t just heal—I came alive.”

This is why I do what I do.

Because so many brilliant women are out there dimming their light to fit into boxes that were never designed for them.

If that’s you—if you feel like you’ve been leaving pieces of yourself in the car, at the door, or on the shelf…

It’s time to gather them back.

You don’t have to choose between being powerful and being feminine. You’re at your best when you’re both.
