Hi, I’m Gina Kasmas
Several years ago, I was a single mum with ten bucks left in the bank, wounded from the blows of losing everything I had worked for over the previous fifteen years, and nursing a broken heart. I thought I’d never get back up. But I did, and I got on with life.
I had to rebuild from the ground up - emotionally first, and financially next. Along the way, I created a roadmap for my recovery process, and want to share my recovery journey with you. Hopefully my story and resources here will help you heal and move on a little easier.
This space is for people like you – and like me – who are ready to get back up and move on. Keep going.
