#125: Bringing People Together with Filmmaker Michael Morgenstern

Gina Hatzis dreams of a world filled with people living on purpose, shining in their full glory, and occasionally busting a dance move now and then. As a women’s empowerment advocate and speaker, she makes it her full-time job to live a fully expressed life, and guides others to do the same. Gina talks with Lisa this week about the success that comes when you follow your truth even if it’s scary, how she makes time for true self-care, and why women feeling fulfilled is at the heart of world healing. 

"The most powerful life-shifting moves that I make are never intentional. They happen when I come back to my Self".

-Speaker, Gina Hatzis

Julia Wells believes that women were built for receiving and that it's time to replace the usual "bro marketing" business approach. She believes that the more pleasure we have in our life, the more profit we can receive.

She grew up in a household where ‘sex’ and sexuality weren’t taboo topics, and so when she decided to start a career as a pussy-based business coach, her family wasn't surprised.

Today, she helps women scale their businesses online, empowering them, and building systems that honor woman-based leadership.
