Today my guest is Gina House! Gina is an avid reader, vintage book collector and beginner flower gardener. She loves creating art in a daily sketchbook, tarot cards, crystals, knitting and archery. She is a mom of two amazing and creative adult children and she and her husband will be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary this year. Gina has a degree in Mathematics and has taught yoga, hula hooping and knitting in the past. Besides writing articles and creating content for the World of Vegan website, she enjoys antique shopping, cozy books, and warm hugs. Gina and I talk about what an empath is, the similarities and differences between being an empath and being highly sensitive, and our experiences.
