Summary

[Gina’s Story Part 1/3] In this chapter, we follow Gina on her journey from a self-described "passive participant" to someone actively choosing her path. After a decade of comfortable numbness in her marriage, the universe delivered three seismic shifts: a divorce, a job loss, and the sale of her house. At 42, Gina found herself at a major crossroads as she tried to settle into a new apartment with three dogs. But as Gina learns to embrace the chaos and say "yes" to life, an old flame from Colorado starts flickering in her feed. Sometimes, against our better judgment, we can't help but look back. Gina's story isn't just about transformation—it's a testament to what happens when life tries to force your hand, and you decide to take the wheel instead.
