Keeping it Real with Gina Keeping: Mindset and Business Coaching for Female Entrepreneurs

We are so used to putting our heads down and chasing the thing without questioning even if we want it. Maybe you can relate? Maybe there is something you have worked so hard for that once you got there, you didn’t “get” the thing or feeling you were hoping to. I get it, been there, got the t-shirt… ok it was t-shirtssssss. But the thing is, I want to help you get clear on your definition of succes...

Let me guess, you catch yourself saying, “I need to grow my business quickly” or “I have to work 24/7 in order to have a successful business.” I hear all the time people trying to strategy away their business. But if there is one thing I know from working with hundreds of women, it's that your business can never outgrow your  mindset. In this episode, I dive into how strategy is only one piec...

The number of people who reach out to me and feel overwhelmed and stressed this time of year is heartbreaking. I get it, this time of year can really bring out a side of us that leads us to not feeling good, to feeling overwhelmed, stressed and not present for the one time of year that really is dedicated to just that “PRESENCE”, not presents. If you have the zoomies, feeling out of sorts, listen...

As I was sippin’ my latte from the back of my SUV with the hatchback open, and Ella devouring her pup cup something cool happened that prompted this episode. As I sat admiring the ocean, I had two men approach the back of the SUV (they weren’t creepy, don’t worry) and they asked me a question that prompted an important lesson. Hands up if we see something someone else has and we want it immediatel...

Today’s pep pod is a reminder to do a little gut check and see if you are subscribing to ending 2022 in a way that doesn’t feel good. Permission to end 2022 the way you desire. With all the messaging of push, push, push, push, this episode is a gentle reminder that you get to control how you show up, that you get to control the outcomes, that you get to control what is right for you. If you need a...

I used to eye roll in the name of manifesting and held the belief that hustle is how I achieved my goals, until I tried it out and was proven wrong. The thing is, I feel there is some conflicting info out there about manifesting. SO I share in this episode how I, someone who feels all the feels, lives with chronic pain and refuses not to experience all the emotions a human being is supposed to exp...

Have you ever been in a situation where you think all is good, but then something happens to you and you realize a lesson that you wish you knew sooner? That pretty much sums up my journey of how I got to where I am and this episode I share with you something that I wish I had done sooner. Why? Well because what happened when I jumped outside of my comfort zone and dipped (ok splashed) my feet int...

When you feel like quitting. When your family/partner doesn’t support your dreams. When you tank a launch. When you don’t have money to invest. When you… Insert the low parts of business here. But my question is….how do you navigate it? One of the biggest struggles I experienced while growing my business was not seeing a representation of the behind the scenes stuff. I feel there is a false narrat...

Oh boy, this one is a spicy one. Have you ever caught yourself saying… “I am so stressed out” “ The holidays are hard” “ I am so overwhelmed” If so, you might wanna sit down and grab a cup of coffee for this one. I feel that laying out the show notes is just not gonna do justice. The best way to explain this one, is have a listen. But, I will promise you that you are going to experience all the em...

Holy guacamole, there is a lot of information out there about ALL the things and I totally get how frustrating it can be and how paralysis analysis can take the wheel and stop you from actually learning and trying new things. So….I am breaking it down and sharing my top 5 tips that I use when I am looking to learn (which I do daily). These 5 tips will help you take ownership for your learning and...

First of all, can we get a huge WHOOOP WHOOOP cause we have reached 100 episodes. We are cluing up Season 1 and moving onto Season 2 and I am so excited and feeling all the emotions over here. As I was planning this episode, I couldn’t help but wonder what I should talk about. So I shared the unsexy parts of deciding to start the podcast and the behind the scenes of what most people don’t talk abo...

Ok, I have to be totally transparent, this podcast episode went off the rails. I started sharing some behind the scenes stuff that most people keep hidden behind closed doors, but ya knows I loves to share it all, but then we took a little turn and I think it is just what you need. Hands up if you have ever struggled and wanted to throw in the towel on something? Congratulations, you are HUMAN. Bu...

Aw man, I had a full circle moment last week. One that made me do some MAJOR reflecting and of course I had to keep it real and share it with you. This episode is all about the power of one decision. About how one scary, poop your pants kinda decision can actually be the thing that totally changes your entire life…even if you had no idea what was about to happen. The cool thing about growth is tha...

I absolutely LOVED chatting with Emily today on the podcast. What started out as a behind the business kinda episode turned into a heartfelt conversation about being an overachiever, being a perfectionist and allowing yourself to find joy on the daily. Emily gives some fantastic tips on how to let go of perfectionism and learn to take care of yourself, find joy and really create a life you love. S...

When you are in it, it is so easy to think that this is the only way to live, think, act, do and be, but the reality is, we have so much power within us and the shift of perspective can legit change your life. I know that is a bold statement, and maybe you eye rolled it, but hear me out. What if things could be different? What if you could have the things you desire? What if you had so much more p...

2 weeks ago I was packing to get on a plane to attend an event in Phoenix, Arizona. I didn’t really know anyone there. I had zero expectations except I wanted to network and I was being called to attend the event. (I mean who am I to argue with intuition?) The event was pretty amazing. But when I returned home, I had some realizations that I really needed to sit with that shook me a little. In fac...

I think we all hold onto things for way too long after they have reached their shelf life… And no, I am not talking about the bottle of jam in your fridge, I am talking about relationships, behaviors, thoughts, beliefs, people… Ya know the hard things to let go of when you know that they gotta go. I get it, it’s HARD to let things go and to be honest, it is so much easier to stay and stick than it...

I hear it all the time, the people you love don’t support your goals, your dreams or the fact that you want something different. The thing is, people love certainty and when people see people going after what they want, I think they picture you jumping into a crocodile bin of hungry creatures who haven't eaten for an entire year. ‘Cause the reactions are pretty intense for deciding to go after a g...

Why do we hold back doing the things that will make us happy? Ya know, staying stuck, repeating patterns and wanting something different but not really taking the steps to move? Today, on our new Monday series of PEP POD (a pep talk, but through a podcast… see what I did there 😉) I encourage you and help you call your shot. To go after what you want. To decide that you want something different an...

I don’t normally do podcasts like this, but this one is straight from the ticker. No notes. Just a raw and open moment of realization that I feel we often bypass. How often do you stop, look back and be freakin’ proud of yourself for how far you have come, for the steps you have taken and for really stepping into celebrating the freakin’ heck out of ALL the steps you take towards your goals. Every...

This episode is ALL about allowing yourself to dream. To step outside the norms and boxes and really sit with the question, "what do you want?" Are you picturing the "Notebook" scene right now? "What do you want"? I sure hope so, because I really want you to get clear on the answer to that question and then? Well then you start taking the steps to make it happen.  I know this may seem corny,...

Oh dang, can I ever relate. In fact, this podcast was recorded in real time as I struggled with showing up and recording my weekly episode. The thing is, we all know consistency is key. BUT, what is often not talked about is how to show up when you really don’t want to. When the ego kicks in, when the stories and thoughts are strong and when you really don't wanna. A truth bomb, you are not always...

A couple of weeks ago, I switched spots with Jess Clerke as she interviewed me on her podcast and we had such a fantastic time. In this episode, I share my unconventional journey of retiring from teaching (after 15 years) and becoming a full time business owner (well 3 time business owner). But I also share the messy, the hard, the parts that shook me to my core and how I was able to move through...

What do you believe about money? Do you believe money is dirty? People with money are shady? Money doesn’t grow on trees? We all have stories built up around money that holds us back or makes us feel a certain way around money. BUT, the thing is, it doesn’t have to be that way. Money is a FANTASTIC thing and helps us in so many ways. It’s what we attach to money that is the problem. Can I let you...

Selling gets a bad wrap. People feel yucky about it. They attach meaning around it. They make it seem like a bad thing.  BUT, without selling, you don’t have a business my friend.  And I get it, when I first started out I thought I am not going to sell. But selling is happening around us every second, we just don't realize it.  There are so many different ways to sell and in ways th...
