“As I was kinda going through figuring out what the next book would be about, I started hearing all these testimonies in the MeToo movement.

“And I realized there were some traumas in my life that I had not dug into. So this book is about digging into trauma, it’s about maintaining the healing and mental health journey.”

She further spoke about what it was like to learn from people’s stories, whether it was while writing her book or on the job as the chief meteorologist for ABC’s Good Morning America.

Ginger even shared what it was like for her on vacation and whether people would question something was going wrong at a place she visited, to which she jokingly added: “Or they say ‘we don’t want you here,’ and I’m like ‘okay!'”
