Summary

Ginger Zee’s calling doesn’t just stop at the atmosphere, it reaches far and beyond the television screen and into the minds of millions. ABC’s Chief Meteorologist is joining Paula for a very special episode on de-stigmatizing mental health issues. Ginger gets incredibly candid about her own battle with depression, the hard work it has taken to rebuild and restrengthen her mental health, and the value of starting everyday with gratitude and intention. She also shares an emotional story about her second chance and how it brought an unexpected partner into her life who has helped her pursue her new calling.
