Rebuilding From Rock Bottom: Reinvention, Identity & Starting Over After Divorce with Brenda Bridges
Airing January 14th on Salty Ginger Talk.
Brenda Bridges knows what it means to lose everything you thought defined your life. When her marriage ended, she didn’t just walk away from a relationship—she walked away from financial security, permanent alimony, and the identity she had built for years. With just $1,000 in her checking account, she found herself at rock bottom, questioning every decision she had made.
Rebuilding wasn’t pretty or fast. It was humbling, messy, and filled with doubt. But it was in those moments that Brenda learned something powerful: real growth doesn’t come from getting it right—it comes from continuing to show up when life feels unbearable.
Over the last decade, Brenda transformed her lowest point into a purpose-driven career as a divorce coach, mediator, CDFA, and author. In this conversation, she shares the hard-earned mindset shifts that helped her stay grounded, radically honest, and compassionate with herself while rebuilding from scratch.
This is a real, unfiltered conversation for anyone navigating heartbreak, reinvention, or the courage it takes to begin again.

When the Business Breaks, the Leader Rebuilds with Tarra Stubbins
Airing Monday, January 12th on Salty Ginger Talk.
Tarra Stubbins believes in telling the stories that don’t make the highlight reel. She now runs two multi-million-dollar businesses—but her path there was anything but polished or predictable. With no formal business background, Tarra built her companies from scratch through grit, service, and relentless work ethic… only to watch it nearly collapse after scaling fast and making painful leadership mistakes.
After hitting $300K a month in revenue, she lost her entire senior team and saw the business drop to $65K almost overnight. Instead of quitting, Tarra took radical responsibility, faced her blind spots, and rebuilt with intention. Drawing on the discipline she developed over a decade as a celebrity assistant for The Rolling Stones and 7-figure CEOs, she learned how to lead through chaos, reset her mindset, and move forward with clarity.
This episode is raw, honest, and practical—no fluff, no sugarcoating. Just real tools for navigating setbacks, imposter syndrome, and the moments when staying in the game feels hardest.

Becoming Wise in the Age of AI: What It Means to Stay Human with Jeff Burningham
This Wednesday on Salty Ginger Talk, we sit down with Jeff Burningham—author, entrepreneur, investor, and thought leader at the intersection of technology, spirituality, and human potential.
Jeff is the author of The Last Book Written by a Human: Becoming Wise in the Age of AI (Simon & Schuster), a powerful exploration of what it truly means to remain deeply human as artificial intelligence accelerates. Drawing from decades of experience building companies, investing in founders, leading communities, and serving others, Jeff reframes the AI conversation—not as a race to replace humans, but as a call to recover wisdom, empathy, and purpose.
A serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist, Jeff founded Peak Capital Partners and Peak Ventures, helping steward multibillion-dollar assets by his 30s. His journey also includes a run for Governor of Utah, service as a Bishop in his local congregation, and a lifelong pursuit of consciousness, faith, and human flourishing. These experiences give him a rare vantage point where leadership, innovation, and meaning converge.
This is a thoughtful, expansive conversation for anyone navigating leadership, technology, and identity in a rapidly changing world.
