It's all about service to others. It's all about changing systems so that I can help as many people as I can. That's, that's why it started. That's how it started.
Imagine being introduced to drugs at the tender age of seven. That's the beginning of Ginny Burton's story, but it's far from the end. In this gripping episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Coach Blu Robinson chats with Ginny, whose life reads like a novel of resilience and transformation. Ginny's journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
From 17 felony convictions and multiple prison sentences to becoming a college graduate and national spokesperson, her story is a testament to the power of perseverance. She’s not just surviving; she’s thriving and making waves in prison and policy reform. Ginny opens up about her past struggles with addiction and trauma, sharing how she managed to turn her life around. She’s a Truman Scholar, Martin Honor Scholar, and UW graduate, but these titles barely scratch the surface of her achievements.
Her viral photos—one from her darkest days and another from her graduation—speak volumes about her incredible transformation. But Ginny's story isn't just about personal triumph. She’s using her experience and education to advocate for broader change.
Listen as she talks about erasing her past and replacing it with education, perseverance, and athletics. Her passion for reform is palpable, and her message is clear: no matter how deep you’ve fallen, you can rise again. Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for a story of hope and redemption, this episode is a must-listen. Ginny's candidness and strength will leave you inspired to face your own challenges head-on.
