 Ginny is a wife, Mom of two beautiful kids, co-host on the podcast SOL RISING, and the founder and owner of THE FLIPPIN’ PHOENIX FURNITURE REHAB company. Her passion for soul searching, healing, and heart connection with other human souls is what sets her spirit on fire in this beautiful chapter of life. With life adventures spanning from chasing dreams in Hollywood in her 20’s, to struggling with addiction, to 18 years of a sales career in a corporate world and choosing to leave it, she believes that no matter the differences we may have with one another, we have FAR more in common… and she is determined to find that common ground with everyone that she can.

 Native New Yorker turned Coloradan Amanda McKoy Flanagan blends street smarts with tree hugging for a sensible and spiritual approach to life. She loves horses, running, vegan-eating, dancing, and singing with abandon to loud rock music. Passionate about sobriety, meditation, and her commitment to climate action, Amanda holds loving-kindness in high regard. Trust Yourself to Be All In is Amanda’s debut inspirational memoir about breaking chains of generational family dysfunction by healing grief with love for self and others.
