You're Blank, What Now?

In this episode, Ginny Priem and I discuss how she found herself with an instant family and sleeping with a narcissist. With her world turned upside down, Ginny shares how she had ignored all of the red flags her body had been sending her and how she decided to share her story by writing the book, "You're My Favorite." As part of her healing, she developed GINpath, 3 steps she used to grow through her trauma. Ginny Priem has an extensive background, including experience as a Master Certified Professional Life Coach and #1 best-selling author, in addition to a corporate career spanning over 20 years, focusing on leadership and emotional intelligence. She is the host of the popular Drinking with Gin podcast and has over 15 years of speaking experience. In her #1 best-selling book, You're My Favorite, she shares the true story of her own personal traumatic end of a romantic relationship with a shocking twist as the man she thought was living in her house turned out to not be the man she thought he was at all. This jarring experience sent her on her own path of healing and growing. In discovering her own path forward, she created GINpath, which is the path that she developed, tested, and implemented to help others in growing through adversity. We all face tough times and have that one story, one that we may not think is big enough to share or manage through, but it's what we do with these stories that really matters. Ginny's keynotes leave audiences inspired to take the next step on their own path. I am your host, Marci Nettles.

In this episode, Danny Covey and I discuss his lifelong journey with heart problems and surgeries that started when he was an infant. Danny shares how his heart literally exploded while he was on the operating room table… he would have died if he had been anywhere else. During his experiences, he has learned the importance of using your agency and WHY it is probably better to ask for forgiveness than permission in some circumstances. Danny Covey has faced many battles in his life. He's undergone 8 heart surgeries, and nearly died on the operating table 3 times. He was repeatedly told he would never physically excel. Yet, after much blood, sweat and tears, he earned a black belt in jiu-jitsu. This accomplishment came just 20 months after having his ruptured descending aortic arch replaced. His story is one that he believes the world needs to hear – a story of faith, healing, and above all; hope. I am your host, Marci Nettles.
