In this episode I chat with Ginger Robinson, known to her followers as Mrs. Robinson. Ginger is a 53-year-old online content creator and media personality from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She has been sober since 2003, after many MANY attempts to stop drinking.A suburban mom of 2 older kids, a son who’s 18 and a 28-year-old daughter, Ginger feels as if she’s lived multiple lifetimes, categorized by pain and struggle to live a content, serene life while also battling Major Depressive Disorder and crippling anxiety, all while maintaining her sobriety over the years.

Growing up as an only child, she learned to be independent at a very early age, and while navigating life, there was a constant conflict of being an overachiever and feeling “less than.”  Ginger graduated from college in the early 90s, got her Masters Degree, and worked as a teacher in her early 20s. She moved around a little (San Diego, Ocean City, Boca Raton, Philly, New Canaan, CT, and Pittsburgh) before actually getting her shit together in 2003.Marriage, having kids, and getting sober changed her career trajectory, and she began working in advertising selling tiny newspaper ads (yes it was that long ago that people were still reading newspapers). She became dedicated to the industry and worked her ass off climbing the corporate career ladder, eventually being recruited by one of the first Fortune 500 tech dot coms. Working in the true Don Draper Mad Men world, she had a very successful career as a well-respected senior software exec in the ad industry, specializing in helping large companies with their digital programmatic advertising,  data analytics, and social branding strategies. 

Just before her 50th birthday (and at the start of COVID), she switched gears into content creation and the adult industry and Mrs. Robinson was born (shout out to 1967’s The Graduate). The goal then (and still is) to continue to try to break the glass ceiling on what older women can and cannot do according to societal attempts to convince us that “younger is better” in the world of beauty, fashion, brains, and sex. 

Sobriety and recovery help tremendously and have been the foundation of her life both professionally and personally.I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.
