How did Gigi stay creative while raising seven children and caregiving?
My best friends of 30 years right now never knew that I was a musician. They never knew that I could sing. They never knew that I could write songs. I was buried in responsibility with taking care of my six children. Then I adopted a child, which is my niece. And my mom had MS, so she lived with me for 15 years, right? But I got it done because I remained consistent with trying to work on my craft in the dark, even when I couldn't go to a studio, even when nobody knew my name as far as a musician, even when nobody knew that I had talent.
Gigi Hynas is an author, musician, and transformational voice helping people reclaim who they are after years of responsibility, fear, and self-doubt. Through her upcoming books and her music, she's using her own story to help others come back to themselves and remember the passion they thought they lost.
Did you listen to what the world told you and forgot who you were? And how do you get back to that person? And when I was a kid, I loved music. And in full circle today, it never left.
Yeah, and I think one tip, you know, whether it's business, finding something that you loved as a kid, nowadays, I just try it.
And you need to listen to that voice, that gut feeling telling you...
it spans the globe like a super high school internet elvis today apple is going to reinvent the phone it's not over until i win the living your legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy Chicago was the lead.
Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet.
Hello and welcome back to another episode. Sat here today with Gigi. We're going to dive into her life, legacy, impact, everything, all the amazing work you're doing that I know we're going to talk about. And, you know, one thing you said to me offline, which caught my attention, is you help people reclaim their voice. Definitely. So I'd love to start with that. Tell us a little about yourself and what that is.
That is so important because it's part of identity and you must know who you are, right? In order to do your best work in this world, right? so I help people and reclaim their voice and I think that's so needed sorry to cut you off but like so many people are too afraid to be themselves these days right exactly my mom used to always say be yourself yeah and I could she said so much that was like okay I think I am being myself but what does that mean you know and sometimes we don't know what it means and you might need a little help doing that trying to figure out am I living on purpose Or am I just living and working and doing what I have to do to make ends meet or whatever? It feels better when you know who you are and you can provide outwardly to the world something great, something that the world needs.
Because apparently we're all here for a reason, right? So we're all here for a reason and we need to know what that reason is so that we can do our best work.
And, you know, I think it's interesting because I always teach, you know, I have this loud, bold brand and stuff, right? And I think I've always been successful in business and do well because I'm not afraid to be myself. And I luckily grew up not caring too much about what people think. And I've noticed after coaching people and seeing people throughout life and my staff and friends is we live now in a world, I think, because of social media more than ever, that everyone cares so much about how they look and what other people think. Exactly. You know, I always say one of the most freeing gifts of life is to not care about all the wrong things.
See, that was my problem before. I always cared. I always cared what people thought. And I always would say to myself, if I could be like that person who doesn't care, and I can really shine, right? And I look at you with your red hair and everything. I love it. And now I'm starting to become that person and teach other people how to become that person.
And it's incredible when you do. Your happiness goes up. Doesn't it? Yeah, it's really cool.
It's like throwing the middle finger, and I wouldn't do that.
