Welcome to another inspiring episode of It's a Rap with Rap, where host Ron Rappaport brings you stories of overcomers and insights for better living. In this episode, we meet Gina Economopoulos, an extraordinary woman whose life is a testament to resilience and redemption.

Gina shares her remarkable transformation from bartending in Pennsylvania to living as a nun for 12 years, and eventually becoming a speaker, advocate, and author.
