Today we’d like to introduce you to Gena Bradshaw.

Hi Gena, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
My journey began at a very young age faced with a near-death experience, I was diagnosed with Leukemia at three and a half. Thankfully I grew up in a very holistic healthy fit family, which was beyond helpful along the journey. I knew at a young age I was never going to be sitting behind a desk so I decided to study Exercise Science in college and follow my parent’s footsteps with our family fitness business, Bradshaw Personal Fitness. However at age twenty, adversity struck again and I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, this route was a bit different because I knew how I wanted to go about this. I went with a doctor who said surgery would be enough, no radioactive iodine or meditation if I take care of myself (fun fact you can function on 1/3 of your thyroid and have been for 11 years cancer-free without medication). That was my first major intuitive nudge to listen to my body because I knew best for me on a deep soul level. This led me down the road of studying Eastern medicine, energy medicine, apothecary lifestyle, nontoxic living, etc., and becoming certified in specific tools and modalities that personally helped me. In 2020 I had a scare with my thyroid, which ended up being nothing, however, it was another drop to my knees moment that had me get back on the path. Once again listening to the intuitive downloads I received after that scary moment, and that was to write a book about my journey to share with the world. That is what I did, and it was the most healing tool I could do for myself and others. I published “A Survivors Story: A Holistic Healing Journey Through Cancer” in 2021 and haven’t looked back since, a year later I founded Holistic Human Performance, an integrative wellness, holistic health and spiritual wellness business to help others reclaim their health so they can find their soul’s mission and share it with the world.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
NO, it has not been a smooth road, I laugh because life is not smooth sailing, these low, dark moments are what teach us the lessons and show us the medicine, they are merely signs from the Universe, God, Source to get you back on the path you were meant to be on. We call that Divine Intervention, something that is very overlooked. The mindset I have adopted being a two-time cancer survivor as a young adult is one of resiliency, strength, courage, bravery, living in flow and learning the lessons, and to use that to help others. I am not a survivor and cancer doesn’t define me. I am a thriver and show others how to thrive as well, I would have never been able to do that had I not gone through those difficult challenging times. Interestingly enough, I found along the journey that health is directly correlated to purpose, you can’t have one without the other, so if you are feeling unfulfilled, start to go deeper with that and notice if it’s playing out in your physical body.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Simply what I do is help others reclaim their health holistically so they can find their soul’s purpose in this lifetime, and have the confidence to then share their gifts with the world. Too many of us feel unfulfilled which leads to a host of dis-ease in the physical body. My goal is to optimize your health and through that journey help lead you to what you are truly meant to do here on this earth, what your soul is yearning for, to integrate this soulful intentional lifestyle that in turn enhances your health and wellbeing. Bringing more light into this world, creating more light leaders to share their gifts and help the collective. I combine science and spirituality to do this, creating and using integrational holistic and spiritual wellness tools to access the metaphysical meaning of health in a way that you can digest and commit to. I use my background in coaching and healing to help people do this, for example, we look into which of the five buckets of holistic health are overflowing, just right, or empty and that is where the work begins. The tools we choose together are what are best for you, while also using the power of energy medicine, somatic movements, meditation, and sound frequency to open you up, leave the past behind, heal ancestral trauma, etc. I work both virtually and in person depending on what the style of coaching, class, program, or workshop is. Throughout this process and evolution of Holistic Human Performance, we now offer beautifully curated holistic products like essential oil infusions, rosemary castor oil, and organic lavender spray to help lean into non-toxic living (part of what we do in coaching sessions). We offer 1:1 coaching/healings, classes/workshops, holistic products and books, virtual wellness center, and courses to help you learn and integrate a new way of living with long-lasting change for you and your family.

Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Risk has always been a part of my life, was fear always there too, yes. It’s what you do with that fear, do you allow it to paralyze you? Or do you tap into your courage and bravery to rise above your fears? Entrepreneurship is a spiritual game and the biggest personal development journey you will ever go down. Risk is a part of that game because you must have an unshakeable faith that all is going to work out especially if you are in it for the long haul. Risk, fear, challenges, and adversity are all a part of the game, it is how you handle it that determines the trajectory of where you are headed.
