Interview with Gina Economopoulos: Grace in Unexpected Places - From Convent to Barroom

In this heartfelt episode of Emerge & Empower Podcast TV, Dr. LinJ sits down with Gina Economopoulos, whose extraordinary journey spans childhood trauma, convent life, barrooms, and ultimately, grace.

Born into a vibrant Italian-Greek Catholic family in Syosset, New York, Gina’s life was marked by both love and hardship. After enduring multiple surgeries as a child, she developed resilience that would carry her through many unexpected turns. From a degree in social science to blending social work with bartending, Gina navigated different worlds with a heart for people.

Following her mother’s passing, she entered the convent, where she spent twelve years, before life led her down a path of love, loss, and ultimately, sobriety through Alcoholics Anonymous. Today, she serves as an End of Life Doula, bringing compassion and faith to others in their final chapters.
Gina’s story reminds us that grace can show up in the most unexpected places.
