“I’ve Shot People, Stabbed People… Now I Help People” — Ginny Burton

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.
