What does it really mean to embrace radical acceptance in the face of life’s hardest challenges? In this powerful and deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Gina Yanovitch, Licensed Professional Counselor, trauma and relationship specialist, and author of Stop Avoiding It.
Gina shares her remarkable journey—becoming a young mother to twins and then triplets, only to have her world turned upside down when one of her babies passed away and another was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Faced with unimaginable grief and chaos, Gina leaned into the practice of radical acceptance, learning to navigate pain without letting it define her.
Now, through her counseling work and her newly released book, Gina equips others with practical coping strategies that blend scripture and science—helping people move from avoidance to empowerment, and from struggle to resilience.
