"Why ‘Should' Is Literally The Worst Word Ever" w/ Gina Marotta

"You deserve the life you really want, and if this isn’t it, keep looking…”

Gina Marotta was once a rising star as a lawyer, working on the all the most high-profile cases in Chicago, each case like an episode of “Law & Order.” But despite rapid success and what seemed like a natural gift, something was off. There was a reason why she found herself crying in the shower in the fetal position one morning, just unable to go to work. What Gina didn’t know at the time was that this unhappiness would serve as the very catalyst for an incredible journey of self-discovery and transformation. Also known as “The Genius Guru,” her life’s new mission is to help others discover and hone their true talents and passions, and she’s here today to share her story.
