August 02, 2023 It takes a village!
This episode covers a topic that many people struggle with...asking for help. The inspiration to this topic was from Ginny doing a quick survey months ago with a group of friends and asked them what phrase they had the hardest time with and it was, "I need help." So many of us don't want to ask for help because it feels like we're being a burden or we're embarrassed or just think that we should be able to do everything on our own. But there's the saying "it takes a village" for a reason. We can accomplish so much more when we get to know ourselves and know where are gaps are and then asking for it. There's the asking for help and then actually receiving it and being okay with accepting it. If we're confident and comfortable with who we are, it becomes easier to ask. And in that same comfort comes with wanting to help others. When you've got the right community, people will be happy to help chip in and support you. We can get more done in a shorter period when we have help and we'll probably make less mistakes along the way.

July 19, 2023 Arshay Cooper: Hope, Healing & How Rowing Sparked It All
Arshay Cooper is a Rower, Bestselling and Award-winning Author, A 2x Golden Oar recipient for his contributions to the sport of rowing, a motivational speaker, activist, and the protagonist of the film, A Most Beautiful Thing. (Executive produced by Academy-Award and Grammy winner Common, NBA stars Grant Hill and Dwyane Wade, the Winklevoss Twins, and Olympian Mary Mazzio). Arshay grew up on the West Side of Chicago in a community surrounded by gangs and drugs. In 1997 he joined (and later became captain of) the country's first All-Black high school rowing team at Manley High School, an experience that changed his life. He then dedicated two years of his life to AmeriCorps, focusing on DEI, and soon after that attended Le Cordon Bleu, becoming a personal chef for World Wrestling Entertainment, Warner Brothers film sets, and professional athletes. After years as an entrepreneur in the food service industry, Arshay returned to his true passion: working with young people. He founded the NY East Side Rowing Club and worked as the national youth program guidance counselor for Victory Outreach International. Arshay also helped start several rowing programs for low-income youth across the country, anywhere a puddle of water exists, so that other young people can experience the profound change that can happen on the water. Arshay is the founder of the National Award-Winning Non-Profit, The A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund, which introduces thousands of under-resourced youth to the sport of rowing. Arshay’s mission has sparked the MLK Day of Service “DAY ON'' for collegiate and high school sports teams across the country and community rowing events between local police and community members. Arshay's message has spread all across the world, speaking for the members of Congress, the NBA and WNBA, the NAACP, the Obama Foundation, the Congressional Black Caucus, and professional sports teams (including the Oakland A’s, the Atlanta Hawks, the Miami Dolphins, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Chicago Bulls). The British, New Zealand, Australian, German, Dutch, Italian, French, Egyptian, Turkish, Canadian, and other Olympic teams are supporting Arshay and the film profoundly, including creating new charitable organizations and initiatives with underserved communities. Universities and athletic directors across the United States (from Morehouse and other HBCU institutions to the University of Washington to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton) are all hosting events with Arshay. Arshay has spoken at UPS, Bank of America, Target, JP Morgan, Delta Airlines, Starbucks, Microsoft, and many other companies hosting conversations around the film, digging into access and opportunity, and the importance of bringing people together. The book was nominated for an NAACP Image Award and won the 2020 Nautilus Award. The film has won the 2021 Gracie Award, was nominated by the NAACP for an Image Award, was nominated by the Critics’ Choice Association for Best Sports Documentary, was nominated by the International Press Academy for Best Documentary, and was named one of the best films of 2020 by Esquire. The film is currently streaming on Peacock and Amazon Prime, and a scripted series is now being developed with Amazon Studios. Arshay and his work have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, LA Times, Today Show, NBC Nightly News, BBC, Men’s Health, Sports Illustrated, Hollywood Reporter, Chicago Tribune, BET, NPR, and many others.

July 12, 2023 What's She Speaking About From Stage Anyway?!?
People are consistently asking Ginny what she speaks about in her keynotes or her speeches. This episode uncovers what she talks about, the key takeaways and some helpful information around speaking in general, particularly around the term keynote. The term keynote is another word that's thrown around loosely by speakers and for a speech to be considered a keynote, it is typically the first presentation of a day, meeting or conference that sets the tone. There wouldn't be more than one keynote in a day's session. Interestingly enough, public speaking is often cited as the number 1 fear of people, even above death. The term for this is glossophobia. One medically reviewed study on verywellmind states that as much as 77% of the population has some level of anxiety around public speaking. Luckily Ginny does NOT have this, which is a great first step to being a keynote speaker. As far as what Ginny covers in her keynotes and speeches, there are a few key takeaways. One is around overcoming what's ours. We all face difficult times and have that one story that we may not think is big enough to manage through, but it's what we do with these stories and how we overcome them. Small stories can still lead to big trauma. Sometimes people believe that their situation isn't big enough to be considered trauma, adversity or a difficult time. But when things happen in your life and take up that space, it is big to you. Finally, Ginny aims to inspire and empower people to not sit along the sidelines of life and move on their own path forward to grow through adversity. While each keynote is customized to the client and the audience, this gives a good idea of what you can expect from her on stage. She also isn't someone who is just preparing on the flight. No, she comes prepared, practiced and ready to make an impact for the client and the audience.

July 05, 2023 Kidnapped & Held Hostage for 93 Days: Jessica Buchanan is a True Inspiration
Jessica Buchanan is the guest this episode. She is inspiring, humble, & generous. She shares her traumatic experience in a way that makes other people not feel less than because their experience wasn't as extreme as hers. No matter what you've been through, or are going through, Jessica has a way of making you feel a connection and validation.
Jessica Buchanan: Teacher, Best Selling Author, Humanitarian, Speaker, Kidnapping Survivor. On October 25, 2011, while on a routine field mission in Somalia, working as the Education Advisor for her non-governmental organization, Jessica was abducted at gunpoint and held for ransom by a group of Somali pirates for 93 days. Forced to live outdoors in deplorable conditions, starved, and terrorized by more than two dozen gangsters, Jessica’s health steadily deteriorated until, by order of President Obama, she was rescued by the elite SEAL Team VI on January 25, 2012. Jessica’s ordeal is detailed in her New York Times bestselling book, Impossible Odds: The Kidnapping of Jessica Buchanan and Her Dramatic Rescue by SEAL Team Six. Jessica has been named one of the ‘150 Women Who will Shake the World’ by Newsweek, and her story has been one of the most highly viewed 60 Minutes episodes to air, to date. Jessica has shared her story of overcoming impossible odds on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Today Show, Stephen Colbert, The Unbeatable Mind with Navy SEAL Mark Divine, and All the Wiser with Kimi Culp, just to name a few. Jessica’s story was the subject of Wondery’s Season 2 Against The Odds and her TEDx Pearl Street talk, ‘Change is Your Proof of Life’ has been the foundation for which she travels the world, inspiring audiences to access their resilience by identifying their own autonomy and choice in the middle of their own life changing event, even when they feel they are out of options. Jessica is the founder of Soul Speak Press, an imprint of Merack Publishing, where she supports women who are ready to share their stories through Memoir Manifestos- books that are one part memoir, one part self-help, and one part inspiration. Soul Speak Press’s inaugural book, Deserts to Mountaintops: Our Collective Journey to (re) Claiming Our Voice, an anthology of 25 inspiring women’s stories, reached bestseller status in 13 categories on Amazon during its debut in January 2023.
Jessica believes in giving back and so is actively committed to supporting The Navy SEAL Foundation, which works to support families of active duty and fallen SEALs as an ambassador and fundraising supporter. Jessica also acts as a family liaison volunteer for the non-profit organization, Hostage US, supporting former hostages and their families during captivity and eventual return.

June 28, 2023 Let's Celebrate!
There is a ton of data out there that suggests how beneficial celebrating wins, successes, accomplishments and achievements are. Recently, Ginny's book,You're My Favorite, became a #1 best seller on Amazon, which was a huge accomplishment. Immediately, she reached out to two different friends to celebrate over the phone with. Are you celebrating your successes enough? It got Ginny thinking about other accomplishments, like reaching 100 book reviews on Amazon and 1,000 followers on Instagram, even getting a clean bill of health after a recent routine mammogram. No matter how big or small, it's important to celebrate our wins. There's a reason why patients ring a bell after completely a course of chemotherapy. It signifies and commemorates a success. Celebrating doesn't have to be an elaborate party. It could be dinner with some friends. Or coffee or happy with a friend. It could be publicly on social media or it could be treating yourself to some self care. Celebrating our successes is important and contagious. Contagious not just for ourselves, but it can grant others permission to celebrate their own accomplishments. This positivity puts us in a good mood and releases endorphins. And if you're a believer of manifestation, you will continue to bring this positivity and attract more wins. Using affirmations can reinforce and motivate you to win again. Saying "I am a winner" can make you more likely to keep winning. Writing down your achievements can also reinforce this and help of maintain an attitude of gratitude. If you have been in an abusive or toxic relationship, whether romantic, familiar or parental, this may be more difficult for you to do if you haven't felt allowed to celebrate your successes. You may want an accountability partner or to seek therapy for help with this. Making celebrations part of your routine can become a healthy and positive habit. You may even keep a tracker or journal of all of your wins and revisit if you're having a moment of doubt or a down day. This may be able to help boost you back up when you take a look at all of the things you've been able to accomplish. It's no fun to be around negativity, but it is fun to be around positivity and celebrate one another. It just feels good and can lead to more success. Let's celebrate together! Feel free to send Ginny a note about one of your successes, wins, accomplishment or achievements to celebrate you!

June 21, 2023 Do you trust your intuition?
This episode was inspired by Jason Matheson from "The Jason Show" asking Ginny during her guest appearance, if there was ever a time during the relationship with Chad if her spidey-senses kicked in. The answer is ABSOLUTELY! There were clear signs, situations and indicators that something was wrong. Sometimes people want something to work out so badly that they may ignore these signs...intuition, hunches, gut feelings, or call them what you will. Do you believe in intuition? Do you trust your intuition? While Ginny never envisioned or necessarily desired having a family unit like this, she loved having this family of 4. We might ignore red flags because we're too far into a relationship, job, or certain situation and we feel like we've invested too much. Ginny talks openly about how her hands get tingly when she has a strong, intuitive feeling about something. Do you have an intuitive sensation? There's also a distinct difference between intuition, instinct and logic. Intuition is a based and formed around experiences. Instinct is more hardwired and less flexible, like a primal or fight or flight reaction. Instinct is innate. For example, if you hear a lion roar behind you, you will likely run for the hills. And logic is more logical and rational. You may use processes or spreadsheets to make decisions. They use the example of doing your taxes in the Positive Psychology article. You probably wouldn't lean on your intuition to determine how much you owe in taxes. The scientists outline that there is still a lot unknown about intuition, and it's somewhat challenging to define, but that it is still important. They reference several books in the article, including Malcolm Gladwell's book, "Blink". There is even a YouTube video linked in the article that you can watch on intuition. Decision making is likely to be a combination of intuitive and rational analysis. Have you ever had an intuition, a gut feeling, a hunch that you ignored and it turned out to be right? Send a message and share your story.

June 07, 2023 Tea Time: Secret Facebook Groups
It's tea time! There have been so many new new things transpiring around "Chad" lately and it was time to bring you into the fold and get you up to speed. These are the conversations that have been happening over coffee & happy hour lately, so all of Ginny's friends & community needed to be in the loop. Here's what's been happening:
A couple of months ago, a photo of the real "Chad" was posted in a secret facebook group with over 33k members. First of all, who's "Chad?" "Chad" is Ginny's ex-boyfriend that inspired her book, "You're My Favorite." He and his 2 children lived with her at the time that the relationship came to a shocking & traumatic end after learning that he wasn't who he portrayed at all. The lies, deception and betrayal were outrageous.
Back to the Facebook group: The purpose of this group is to be able to gather information, tea or become aware of any red flags. When this photo of "Chad" was posted, there were almost immediately 100 comments from women that had been conned, bamboozled, & duped by Chad. Victims that he had gaslit or lied to, as well. These women started messaging one another and even reaching out to contact Ginny. Some women have been saved from going out with him because of the comments & messages. Women have been sending Ginny photos & screenshots with documentation of fake designer gifts he'd given them, class 2 & 3 drugs on his countertop that they admittedly did with him. (Although "Chad" vehemently denies his drug use.) One woman provided documentation that she was also with him on October 11, 2018, just earlier in the day, when he was with another woman that night. This happened while Ginny was traveling for work, while "Chad" was living in her house, just days after they got back from Ginny taking "Chad" on a very luxurious 10-day vacation to Italy. Women have sent messages thanking Ginny because her book was the only thing that helped them say "no" to him. Several women that knew him back from high school have reached out. These women are finally getting validation that they aren't alone in being manipulated by this guy. This has been creating connection & community amongst them and can help remove or reduce any guilt, stigma or shame from going through this experience. It can really mess with you when you find out that someone is not who you thought they were. Because of this newfound community with these countless women that have also been victims of "Chad," Ginny was recommended for another podcast, "The Twisted Sisters Podcast." One of the reels they posted on Facebook of Ginny's interview currently has over 160k views! Ginny will also be appearing on "The Jason Show" to share more of the juicy details around the latest events.
