Salty Ginger Talk

INTERVIEW With Dr. Ashleigh Rankin

🌟 From a childhood marked by absence and stigma to becoming a doctor of clinical psychology, Dr. Ashleigh Rankin has walked a path of resilience, forgiveness, and transformation.
Raised by a single mother in a small town where her very existence was kept hidden by her father’s family, Ashleigh’s story is one of navigating pain, reclaiming identity, and choosing growth over bitterness. Against all odds, she fought through an underfunded school system, started at community college, pursued higher education, and ultimately earned her doctorate.
Now, she shares powerful lessons on resilience, identity, mindset, and the lifelong process of healing.

The Discipline of Boredom

✨ We live in a world where every second is filled with noise, distractions, and endless scrolling. But what if the very thing we’re running from—boredom—is actually the discipline we need most?
In today’s episode of Salty Ginger Talk, we’re unpacking The Discipline of Boredom: why sitting still, slowing down, and embracing those “empty” moments can actually strengthen your focus, spark creativity, and build the patience required for long-term success.
Boredom teaches us resilience. It forces us to look inward, confront our thoughts, and create instead of consume. When you stop numbing every pause, you open the door to clarity and breakthroughs.
🎧 Join us today (Sept 23rd) as we explore how boredom can transform your mindset, sharpen your discipline, and become a powerful tool for growth.
