My career journey began in the medical field, driven by a deep desire to help people, particularly from a supportive, administrative perspective. I thrived behind the scenes, ensuring the teams who worked face-to-face with patients had everything they needed. During that decade, raising two children shifted my focus. I sought a career that allowed me to contribute meaningfully to the community while offering the flexibility to be more present for my family. This led me from the corporate medical world to the non-profit sector. In 2023, I joined Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Vancouver Island, an organization that beautifully prioritizes families—both those they serve and their staff. This role allowed me the freedom to integrate my work schedule with my family’s needs, creating a powerful motivation to excel in a role that serves the greater good. In 2025, the board of Crossroads Pregnancy Centre approached me with the Executive Director opportunity. This felt like the perfect, rooted next step, allowing me to fully dedicate my passion to an organization that profoundly impacts the well-being of women and their families. It’s an honor to lead CPC, filling a massive systemic gap, and I am incredibly excited for this new chapter.

Nature of Addictions with Sara Troy and her guest Gina Ariel Kunadian pronounced (Koon-a-Dian), on air from October 31st

My path to self-discovery was paved with challenges, leading me to over 5 years of personal sobriety. This journey not only freed me from the clutches of alcohol but also unveiled my authentic self, illuminating a purpose far greater than I’d ever envisioned. Today, with experience and passion guiding me, I recognize the profound significance of sharing this transformative tale of sobriety and self-love. This message is essential for those navigating the tumultuous waters of addiction, for women looking to reclaim their power post-dependency, and for anyone yearning for a life of true purpose and vitality. From personal tribulations to a life brimming with purpose, I aim to inspire, guide, and empower.

Gina Kunadian is a beacon of hope and inspiration for countless women. With over 5 years of personal sobriety, she has transformed from a person grappling with addiction to a certified massage therapist, podcast host, and creator of the transformative ‘Shine Process’. Through her platforms, Gina empowers individuals to step out of the shadows of dependency and embrace a life of authenticity and purpose. Her personal journey serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of self-love and determination.

Background Story: Hello there! I’m Gina Kunadian, a woman of faith, a devoted wife, a mother of three, and an entrepreneur who has fought her battles and emerged stronger. Once gripped by the clutches of alcohol addiction, today I stand tall as a beacon of hope, guiding others on their journey towards sobriety.

There was a time in my life when darkness was my constant companion, and every day was a struggle. I was lost, disconnected, and trapped in a cycle of dependence that I couldn’t seem to break free from. But, through this darkness, I found strength I didn’t know I possessed. My faith, determination, and an insatiable desire for a better life guided me towards the path of recovery.

Breaking up with alcohol was challenging, yet liberating. It didn’t happen overnight, and there were moments of self-doubt and relapses. But each stumble made me stronger, each fall more determined to rise. My transformation wasn’t just about becoming alcohol-free; it was about rediscovering myself, about reclaiming my mind, body, and spirit from the shadows of addiction.

Today, I channel this experience, wisdom, and empathy into my role as a sobriety coach. I provide guidance, support, and tools for women who are committed to breaking free from alcohol, without the traditional 12-step program. I’m there with them every step of the way, helping them unlock their potential, rebuild their confidence, and create a life they love, alcohol-free.

But my ambition extends beyond my coaching career. I am passionate about learning, evolving, and expanding my horizons. Whether it’s exploring new ways to enhance my coaching techniques, seeking spiritual growth, or nurturing my family, I am constantly driven by the desire to become the best version of myself.

My journey from darkness to light has taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, self-love, and the power of change. Now, I am on a mission to empower others to break free from their chains, to shine brightly, and to embrace the limitless potential that lies within each one of us. I believe in the transformative power of gratitude, positivity, and self-belief, and I am committed to sharing this belief with the world.

Being an entrepreneur is more than running a business to me, it’s a way of life. It’s about creating impact, driving change, and leaving a legacy of hope, resilience, and transformation. And as I continue this journey, I am excited about the lives I will touch, the change I will inspire, and the future we will create, together.
