About Gigi:
Born in 1969. Left in the hospital at birth. The name they gave her, Ann Malone. Three days later, she was added to the foster care system, and at age 7 she found out she was adopted.
Now feeling like a square peg in a round hole, she tried to put her adoption in the back of her mind and move on. At age 19, she lost her adoptive mother, but made an unwelcome connection with her birth mother. But once again, she was rejected for a second time, and a few years later, rejected again for a third time.
Dealing with rejection played a large part in attracting unhealthy relationships and not understanding her own self-awareness. When GiGi was in the hospital surviving leukemia and a bone marrow transplant, discovering the importance of Breath-work and Meditation totally shifted her life! And she is learning to love herself even after years of feeling “unworthy and unwanted.”
Now she uses her platform to inspire and motivate people so that we will all be reminded that having a positive attitude can raise our vibrations and change the outcome of any situation!
