Turning Personal Struggles into Purpose with Gianna Kennedy

In this episode of Grit Won't Quit, Tom sits down with Gianna Kennedy, founder of Glow with Gianna, to discuss how she turned a personal struggle into a mission to help others. At just 16 years old, Gianna shares her experience overcoming an unhealthy relationship with food during her freshman year of high school and how social media can influence the way young people view themselves. Determined to make a difference, she began growing her platform to encourage healthier mindsets and open conversations around body image, confidence, and nutrition. Tom and Gianna also talk about her work speaking in schools, advocating for young people through conversations with members of Congress about social media and teen mental health, creating affirmation cards and care packages for care centers, and hosting her own Glow Diary Podcast. They also discuss her experience as Miss New Jersey's Teen and her goal of pursuing a career in the medical field. This episode is all about resilience, self-confidence, and using your voice to create positive change at any age.
