About Gina MundyGina Mundy is an attorney that specializes in childbirth cases. For over two decades, she has analyzed the mistakes that are made during labor and delivery. Drawing on this knowledge, she has authored a book for parents aimed at preventing these mistakes. Rather than merely getting involved after an unfortunate mistake was made, Gina has taken a proactive approach by getting involved before childbirth. Her goal is to assist parents in preventing these mistakes and help them have a healthy baby. Gina believes that while we cannot change the past, we can certainly learn from it and take measures to prevent similar mistakes from occurring in the future.Connect with Gina MundyWebsiteTimestamps00:15 Introduction2:36 What is your book about?4:50 What inspired you to write your book?8:42 Who is your book for?10:24 How long have you been writing and what made you really start?14:04 What was your schedule like when you were writing a book?16:12 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?18:21 Do you have a favorite writing snack or drink?19:05 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?19:39 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become an author?20:34 What books did you grow up reading, did you have an all-time favorite?21:27 Now as an adult do you have any favorite series or authors?22:41 What advice would you give to someone just starting to read again?24:00 Do you have any advice for someone just aspiring to write their own book?28:23 Any additional comments?30:44 Where is the best place for our readers to connect with you?
