“I’ve Shot People, Stabbed People… Now I Help People” — Ginny Burton
About this episode
Ginny Burton shares her journey from a life of crime and addiction to helping others rebuild their lives after overcoming her past.
Ginny Burton’s life began in chaos. She says she was introduced to drugs at just seven years old, endured years of abuse and violence, spent almost a decade in prison across three sentences, and accumulated 17 felony convictions. At her lowest, Ginny describes a life of drugs, violent crime, and repeatedly believing she wouldn’t survive. Then, after being arrested again at 40 and facing a fourth prison sentence, something changed. Nearly 14 years later, she is clean and sober and now uses her experiences to help others rebuild their lives. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
