1. With Unending Love and Support, Anything is Attainable with Guest Author and Childbirth Attorney Gina Mundy 28:33

“My parents pushed me to do my best,” say Gina. “They had high expectations all the way.”  It didn’t help Gina’s cause that one of her teachers told her mother that “you could be an outstanding student if you tried.” But in time the message paid off.

Now a proud mother of three and a Childbirth Attorney, Gina works full time as did her mother. It’s that balance of working all day and time to spend with kids after school on the field, cheering them on from the sidelines.

Susan or Sue, “was the brains behind  the operation” says my guest about her mother working full time as the VP of “Champion Screw Machine Engineering” in Michigan.  Sue was also passionate about playing her guitar. She performed regularly at the Contemporary Services at their local church in addition to being a Sunday School Teacher.

One of the most significant messages Gina has learned from her mom is to be non-judgmental. “She always told me, the easiest thing you can do is talk behind someone’s back,” continues Mundy, “If you can’t say it to their face, don’t say it. My mother is by far, one of the most positive people I have ever met.”

Gina’s was also very close with her maternal grandmother, Sue’s mom.  Grandmother and daughter had similar personalities and when ever the three grandkids went to spend time with their grandmother, she was sure to drop everything and loved spending every minute with them. Gina was so proud to have been asked to  deliver the eulogy at her grandmother’s funeral service.

My guest’s message comes from the heart and as a Childbirth Attorney, she wants couples to be prepared and aware of the nuances of a delivery room and the benefits of choosing the best doctors possible to help ensure  the delivery of a  healthy baby and a happy mother.

Gina’s recent book is titled “A PARENT’S GUIDE TO A SAFER CHILDBIRTH- EXPECTING THE BEST:USING THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE  TO HELP YOU DELIVER A HEALTHY BABY.”

A childbirth attorney for over 20 years, Gina wants to give her readers the tools to prevent any accidents that may possible take place in the delivery room.

She delves into what happens during birth and trying to figure out from the delivery team  what exactly happened.   Her goal is to help parents prepare for child birth to make sure these mistakes and complications don’t happen during the birth, so they can have a healthy baby and mother. She suggests that getting involved before birth can help save lives.   

Mundy insists ” the book isn’t about about what can go wrong but making sure it all goes right.”

“Should Have Listened To My Mother” is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives. And my guests answer the question, ‘are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother’? You’ll be amazed at what the responses are.

“Should Have Listened To My Mother” would not be possible without the generosity, sincerity and insight from my guests. In getting ready to launch my podcast, so many were willing to give their time and share their personal relationships with their mother.
