Gina Blitstein

Seeing From the Inside Out is the heart/brain-child of writer and storyteller Gina Blitstein who interviews guests to learn and discern the story that dwells within them so they can indeed be known, from the inside out. Gina firmly believes that our stories are our legacy and a powerful way of connecting as humans.Every two weeks, an episode will drop, highlighting a fascinating person, eager to tell the personal, authentic tale of their life’s journey, a lesson learned, a defining moment; something unique only they can express from their own life experience.In a world hell-bent on stirring division and pitting us against one another, Gina sees this podcast as a celebration of the stories that ground us to our shared humanity and remind us we have so much more in common than that which separates us.Gina’s modest goal… building human connection, (and making the world a more open-hearted place) one story at a time.

    Krista & Gina Enjoy an Abstract Conversation

    Send us a text My friend Krista Swisher and I met through Humans on the Verge, a personal development group, both of us seekers of self-expression and a sense of agency in a world hellbent on keeping us quiet and complacent. I admire her greatly for picking up her paintbrushes (and other implements of pigment application) and claiming her rightful moniker as an artist in the world - and I love even more that her work is recognized as gallery-worthy. You can see Krista’s paintings on her website (and on display from time to time if you're lucky). The holidays (and other times when presents are exchanged) are a fabulous time to consider the one-of-a-kind, personal gift of art; Krista even offers commissions as an option if you’ve got something specific in mind. Producer's Note: What a great conversation this was. My brain is always working to find connections from what I hear and experience to song lyrics, and there were two instances in this episode that immediately brought to mind "What Light" which is one of my favorite songs by Wilco, penned by the amazingly insightful Jeff Tweedy. Here are the verses, I bet you can attach them to the relevant sections of the discussion: And if you're trying to paint a picture But you're not sure which colors belong Just paint what you see Don't let anyone say it's wrong and And if the whole world's singing your songs And all of your paintings have been hung Just remember what was yours Is everyone's from now on Here's the song if you would like to give it a listen: "What Light" by Wilco
