Connection Isn’t Complicated: The Real J.O.B. of Belonging with Ginger Johnson

Ever feel like connection is harder than ever these days?  You’re not alone—but this week’s guest says it doesn’t have to be that way.

Join your host Anne Bonney as she chats with connection evangelist and keynote speaker Ginger Johnson (https://gingerjohnson.com/), who’s here to blow up the myth that human connection is complicated. (Spoiler alert: it’s not!)

From waving at strangers to building bridges in brand-new communities, Ginger drops powerful, practical truths about why belonging starts with YOU—and how the tiniest gestures can create the biggest impact. 🙌

🎯 Whether you're a leader, a speaker, or just a human who wants more genuine connection (don’t we all?), this episode delivers a mic-drop message: connection isn’t a luxury—it’s a choice. And it’s way more accessible than you think.

🔥 In this episode, we dive into:

• Why "self-connection" is the first step to authentic relationships 
• How waving at a stranger can change your brain (and your community!) 
• What Ginger means by “The Joy of Belonging” (aka the real J.O.B.) 
• Why post-pandemic connection isn’t dead—we just forgot how to start 
• Real strategies to build meaningful moments in both life and leadership 

Get ready to reframe connection, rediscover your power to belong, and maybe—just maybe—wave at someone today.
