Mara shares how yoga deepened her self-awareness, what she learned about bringing mindfulness into the workplace, and how one of the hardest seasons of her life changed the way she understands resilience, grace, and choosing how to live. At the heart of the conversation is a simple idea: how we show up matters.

In this episode, From Responsibility to Belonging with Winn Claybaugh, Gina sits down with Winn Claybaugh for a candid conversation about creating families, teams, and workplaces where people feel seen, heard, valued, and genuinely excited to belong. Subscribe with your favorite podcast player Apple PodcastsAndroidRSS Winn Claybaugh is dean and co-founder of Paul Mitchell Schools, co-founder of Salty Dawg, author of Be Nice (Or Else!), and host of MASTERS podcast. He helped grow Paul Mitchell Schools from one location to more than 100 while building a culture rooted in purpose, generosity, belonging, and giving back. Growing up as one of eight children, Winn learned responsibility, contribution, and community from a mother who believed, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” Those early lessons would later shape the way he leads. Then, when his daughter was just three years old, she said something he never forgot: “Daddy, you love your phone more than me.” Winn immediately wondered: If she feels that way, how do the people I work with feel? That question opens a much bigger conversation about the culture we create through the way people experience us… at home, at work, and everywhere in between. Together, Gina and Winn explore what makes people want to contribute rather than simply collect a paycheck, why having a voice matters, and how responsibility, presence, fun, hospitality, and genuine care can create a sense of belonging. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why fun and professionalism bring about hospitality What separates having a job from believing in a mission How fatherhood made Winn a more thoughtful and understanding leader Why creating space for people to use their voice matters How Winn came to see ADHD and 24 years of sobriety as superpowers What storytelling can do that advice often cannot Why generosity and giving back are woven into Winn’s definition of success How the smallest details can shape whether someone feels valued, welcomed, and part of something How to Connect with Winn Claybaugh: Website: www.winnclaybaugh.com Paul Mitchell Schools: www.paulmitchell.edu MASTERS by Winn Claybaugh: www.mastersbywinnclaybaugh.com Paul Mitchell Schools FUNraising: www.paulmitchellschoolsfunraising.org Instagram: @WinnClaybaugh Facebook: @WinnClaybaughpage X: @WinnClaybaugh YouTube: Winn Claybaugh If this conversation stirred something in you … pay attention.

In this episode, When Fine Replaces Fascination: Jeanne Cummings Interviews Gina Maier Vincent, the microphone turns. Subscribe with your favorite podcast player Apple PodcastsAndroidRSS Gina Maier Vincent, founder of Exquisitely Aligned®, creator of Underliving, author, speaker, modern culture observer, and host of The Exquisitely Aligned Podcast, steps out from behind the microphone and into the guest seat for a special conversation led by her beautiful friend Jeanne Cummings. Jeanne is a business leader, strategist, and advisor who has spent her career helping divisions of large corporations enter new markets, turn around failing business units, and move through meaningful growth and transformation. She has also helped founders and CEOs build stronger companies, healthier leadership teams, and more valuable businesses. What Gina appreciates so much about Jeanne is that she understands success from the inside. She knows what it means to lead, to build, to perform, to carry responsibility, and to create results in complex environments. And, like so many high achievers, Jeanne also reached a moment where she began to recognize that success on paper does not always create fulfillment within. That is exactly why this conversation feels so beautifully aligned. Gina is usually the one asking the questions. This time, Jeanne invites Gina into the deeper story behind her work, her message, and the life experiences that shaped the conversation she is here to lead. Together, Jeanne and Gina explore what happens when life looks fine, successful, responsible, and even admirable, but something essential has gone quiet. In this conversation, they explore: Why “fine” can become one of the most expensive words in a person’s life The moment Gina called off her wedding at twenty-eight and began trusting what no longer felt honest What Underliving really means — when you are working hard to maintain a life that no longer moves you. Why highly capable people are often the last to notice they are living beneath the aliveness available to them How success on paper can still leave a person quietly longing for something more honest, beautiful, and alive Why fascination is not frivolous, but a powerful clue that life is asking you to look again This episode is personal, joyful, revealing, and full of the language at the heart of Gina’s work: attention, discernment, beauty, aliveness, fascination, and the courage to look again. How to Connect with Jeanne Cummings: Email: [email protected] If today’s conversation made you wonder where fine has quietly replaced fascination in your own life, I invite you to explore a private VIP Day with Gina Maier Vincent. This experience is for the capable person who has built a life that works, but can feel something inside asking for more honesty, more beauty, more aliveness, and more alignment. Together, we look at where your time, energy, attention, relationships, work, and desires may no longer match who you are becoming. Because fine may have gotten you here… but fascination is what begins to show you what is next. To learn more, visit ExquisitelyAligned.com and explore a private VIP Day.

In this episode, When Strength Becomes Armor, Gina Maier Vincent welcomes Captain James Owen, retired Long Beach Fire Department captain, speaker, founder of Camp Pivot, and author of The Last Patient, for a deeply human conversation about trauma, recovery, service, addiction, self-worth, and the hidden cost of being the person others depend on in crisis. Subscribe with your favorite podcast player Apple PodcastsAndroidRSS James spent decades running toward emergencies most people run from. But as he shares in this conversation, the fires that follow someone home can be harder to recognize than the ones they fight on the job. Together, Gina and James explore: How emotional armor becomes a way of life for those trained to stay composed in crisis Why trauma accumulates over time, quietly stacking like “pancakes” until the weight becomes impossible to ignore What happens when capable people care for everyone else while slowly moving away from their own healing The moment his son’s questions, the “favorite chair,” and the truth of his own condition made help impossible to avoid How recovery through 12-step work, Adult Children of Alcoholics, and new healing modalities helped him begin again The shift from “one day” to “this is day one,” and what changed when he began giving himself the best Why recovery is not linear, self-worth must be checked honestly, and being bent is not the same as being broken This episode is especially meaningful for first responders, military members, physicians, law enforcement officers, caregivers, leaders, adult children of alcoholics, and anyone who has ever been praised for being strong while privately knowing something inside was not okay. Through the lens of Gina’s work around Underliving, this conversation asks what happens when fine replaces fascination while life continues to function — and what it takes to begin returning to yourself before collapse becomes the only permission to change. James’s message is clear: you are not broken. You are bent. Recovery is not linear. And healing can begin the moment “one day” becomes “day one.” How to Connect with Captain James Owen: https://captainjamesowen.com/ If this conversation stirred something in you, I invite you to explore my work at ExquisitelyAligned.com, where I help high-functioning individuals, leaders, and seekers look beyond fine and become more available to the life that is still calling them.
