In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns is joined by Ginger Carlisle, a former nursing professional turned financial educator and the creative mind behind a new artistic venture in Lakeland. Ginger shares her fascinating life journey, from growing up in New York City and Fort Lauderdale to her long career in the medical field and her current passion for crafting high-quality, artisanal wreaths.
Ginger discusses the transition from her “first life” in medicine—where she specialized in neurosurgical care—to her second career teaching people how money works. She explains how her desire for a creative “stress release” led her back to her artistic roots, eventually evolving into a business that brings beauty and a touch of happiness to local homes through seasonal and custom-designed door décor.
Whether you’re interested in the history of South Florida, looking for financial wisdom, or searching for the perfect custom wreath to elevate your home’s curb appeal, Ginger’s story is a beautiful blend of professional expertise and artistic passion. 103
