Weaving Your Reality - 16: Lead With Love, Live Your Dharma and Stay Real – GINA MURDOCK

16: Lead With Love, Live Your Dharma and Stay Real – GINA MURDOCK

08/30/18 • 68 min

Weaving Your Reality

Gina Murdock of Lead with Love is on a mission to shift culture from fear to love inside and out. Sounds big... and she truly is up to big things. Lead with Love is a global gathering and training for heart-centered leaders featuring yoga, meditation, time in nature, spiritual psychology and experiential workshops, music + movement and a renewed focus on social impact and business as a force for good.

Gina is a writer, yoga and meditation teacher, inspirational speaker, advisor to businesses making an impact and founder of Lead with Love non-profit and events. I went to Lead with Love summit in Aspen in 2017, and the experience blew me away. Not only the level of organization and the speakers (Marianne Williamson!), but also the community of people who’re into yoga, consciousness, leadership and making an impact (all at the same time). I needed to know more about the woman behind it. So I ended up going on the Lead with Love retreat in Bali to explore my own leadership through the prism of wellness, spirituality and ritual.

Topics we discuss in this episode are:
  • The personal spiritual quest that led Gina to start Lead With Love and the lessons she’s learned from running a non-profit
  • The daily practices that help her develop her own leadership
  • What leading from the heart looks like
  • How to live your dharma
  • What self-worth has to do with leadership
  • How she used to struggle with making living as a yoga teacher
  • Why you don’t always have to quit your day job to make an impact in the world
  • Being an activist without anger or shame
  • How dealing with fertility challenges helped her connect to peace and a sense of purpose
  • How being of service and showing up can open all doors
  • How to become a speaker at Lead with Love Summit
  • Why technology and social media are energetically neutral
  • Making empowered choices around how we use social media
