I just stopped, I stopped making excuses and just started showing up and putting one foot in front of the other, and I also, in that statement, I stopped having an expectation of me to show up in some shiny way.
Imagine being introduced to drugs at the tender age of 7 by your own mother. That was the beginning of V Ginny Burton's tumultuous journey. In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson sits down with Ginny to explore her incredible story of resilience and transformation. Ginny's life has been a rollercoaster of addiction, 17 felony convictions, and multiple stints in prison.
Yet, she has emerged not just as a survivor, but as a beacon of hope and change. Now a college graduate, Truman Scholar, Martin Honor Scholar, and national spokesperson, Ginny uses her experience to advocate for prison and policy reform. She’s also an author, mother, and recovering addict who has turned her life's mess into a powerful message of redemption and triumph. Ginny talks candidly about erasing her troubled past and replacing it with education, perseverance, and athletics.
Her viral photos, showing her transformation from addiction to graduation, are a testament to her strength and determination. She shares how trust and respect in relationships have been crucial in her recovery journey. If you're looking for an inspiring tale of overcoming immense odds, this episode is a must-listen.
