Still I Rise Podcast
"I am the F@cking Storm" by Ginger Swaggerty
Today on Still I Rise, we welcome a woman who is the very definition of grit and grace. Ginger Swaggerty grew up learning resilience in the hardest of circumstances, built a career in the Army and cybersecurity, and faced life’s battles head-on with unwavering strength. But nothing tested her more than hearing the words: Stage 3C ovarian cancer—a disease often called “the silent killer.”
Instead of being silenced, Ginger chose to fight, not only through the storm of chemo, scars, and fear, but by finding her voice and using it to advocate for women everywhere. She reminds us that our bodies are our heroes, that survival is as much about courage as it is about medicine, and that storms—no matter how fierce—can be danced in.
She says it best herself: “I am the storm.”
(Or as she really says it, "I am the F@cking Storm").
Please join me in welcoming a warrior, a survivor, and a woman who is living proof that beauty and strength can coexist in every season of life—Ginger Swaggerty.
