Deena Ganger Provides ‘Services With a Smile’ By Andrea Nissel | May 06, 2021
Talking with Deena Ganger, one can’t help but admire the success of her midlife transition. At 55, the mother of four and former schoolteacher has reinvented herself, launching a new business and hoping to inspire others along the way.
Like many, she spent her 20s, 30s and 40s wearing her mom hat and supporting her family. “During those years your personal success gets lost in the shuffle,” said Ganger, who likes to call that stage of life “Part 1.”
“It took months for me to stop checking my watch for fear of missing the school bus,” a habit Ganger admits stayed around long after her children left the nest. After turning 50, her responsibilities undeniably changed, and she realized she had newfound time and resources that would allow her to focus on something different. She was eager to reinvent herself and concentrate on what she calls “Part 2.”
