Hello everyone! Wow, a week before Christmas exactly! Have you been naughty or nice? Either way I hope Santa is good to you. I’m currently sitting at a café in Brooklyn waiting for my next guest. This guy has had amazing success. He learned to code when he was just 13 - can you believe it? When I was 13, my milestone was the fact that Ammi actually let me go to and from school unescorted for the most part. My next guest sold his first technology at 18 for a million dollars. WOW! He’s now one of ...

This Episode is about resistance to the one thing that is only consistent in our lives – Change. My belief is that there are two types of humans – those who live in curiosity and those who take curiosity as a gateway to opportunity, evolution and experiences. Sometimes those who live in curiosity as just happy doing that. They’re happy living vicariously through others and it brings them joy that they can do that. And then there are those who make commentary, judgements and form unhealthy dialog...

This Monday Mocha Episode is a special tribute. Why I started this particular podcast on top of the usual Wednesday episodes of The Ginni Show is that I wanted to help you start your Monday’s with that extra spring in your step that may or may not have a helping hand from a caffeinated beverage of some sort. This episode is a special tribute to Persis Shanker – one of the hosts of Tomboy Tirade – one of Asia’s biggest girl podcasts. I’m joined by Persis herself and her co hosts Joanna, Raven and...

It's December! Can you believe we are finally at the last month of 2017? I say finally because around this time of year, we tend to reflect on everything we have achieved and everything we haven't. Pair that reflection up with the holiday cheer, wrapping up things before the parties and festivities and some of us have to also cram in the shopping, it can feel like a lot of weighing in on you this time of year.

This week's Monday Mocha is with a couple of champions who, even though yell at me on a frequent basis, are one of the most loveliest and hardest working duo's around. Kath Rento and Mike Genitsaris are the owners of Pick It Up Fitness - Melbourne's East Side Fitness specialists. From working hard, deploying empathy and positivity into their own lives, I sit down with Kath and Mike and we talk about what they care about, if they take their phones to the bathroom and just who they would like to s...

The day I learnt that Butterflies didn't have the ability to eat me was one of the most liberating days of my life. I was 12 and I watched a Cethosia butterfly fly away. Celebrate the wins, people. No matter how big of small they are.I've heard many spiritual teachers say that in life, humans tend to look at things in two ways; out of love or out of fear. When we opt for the latter, we go down a spiral of anxiety and darkness and it's generally a projection of things that don't exist in the pres...

It was so awesome to have The Ginni Show return last Wednesday. And this week, Monday Mocha is back! Monday Mocha is an opportunity I have to sit down and have a coffee with an awesome individual who is doing something inspiring in the world. I love starting my Monday's with such inspirational chats and of course, an excuse to drink copious amounts of coffee! This week, I have a coffee with Christopher Plowman, the CEO of popular meditation app Insight Timer. He's a fellow Aussie and he explains...

When we're in a world where we are constantly seeking the approval of others, we tend to second guess what we intuitively and instinctually feel. This episode is about being ok with liking your own music - a metaphor used to describe how we go about seeking approval from society and in particular our families.

Where's your safe place? Is it a physical place you can go to and know that you feel completely ok to be yourself? Or is a space you go to when you meditate or a feeling that takes you there. For me, the feeling and the comfort that comes when I am in New York makes it my place. It's one of the reasons why I love New York City, and its from this love that lead me to meeting our next guest. Eljay Aguillo was in a long distance relationship with a lady from Chicago who sent him a Joss Stone album ...

Three more Mocha's to go folks. I know I say this about all of the guests, but what I love most about the first Monday Mocha series is the diversity of guests. We've had equality in the sense that we've had the same about of females as we've had males. They all have an inspiring and individual story. Monday's for me have become a day I look forward to than one that I dread. I hope it's been the same for you as well. This guest is someone I would say is the equivalent of the modern day cupid. I g...

This Monday Mocha is a story of quite a powerful manifestation. Meet Chris Frederick, a boy from Ohio, middle America. Growing up with the person who left the biggest heart print on him; his mother, he came out to her when he was 17, just a few months before they were set to head out on a trip to New York. The special moment that was awaiting them both turned out to actually be a moment that would not only shape Chris Frederick's history.....but the actual history of New York City Pride. Chris e...

I know it feels like a long time between Mocha's. Now that Wednesday's aren't returning until July, our catch up time is down to once a week. It sucks but given the fact that I ask you all to invest in yourselves and listen to your inner child, play time and balance is a part of that so I must practice what I preach. At least that means we get Monday's together right?Now, before you freak out when you listen to this podcast and say, "I've heard this voice before." Other than my dulcet tones, my ...

Just when you thought The Ginni Show was over for another season, I surprise you with yet another Monday Mocha. YAY! Well technically, the Wednesday part of the show will return in July 2017, but we still have quite a few Monday Mocha's up our sleeves. So in episode two, I took a trip to Huffington Post Headquarters where I caught up with Executive Editor Noah Michelson. Taking yet another trip back, I caught up with Senior Editor Curtis Wong. What I love about Curtis is he is so wonderfully gen...

So, it's the last Wednesday episode of Season 2. You'll still hear my dulcet tones on Monday Mocha for the next few weeks but our special time together on Wednesday will be back in July. I love sharing my Wednesdays with you. It's a day I look forward to most and I love that people from all over the world; from places that I've only ever dreamed of listen to The Ginni Show. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. This episode takes a little transactional turn in the sense that we look at ours...

This Monday Mocha is a little closer to home. Literally. When I was in my early to late teens and growing in self awareness and learning about myself, it wasn't just Queer As Folk that shone some light on the parts of me that I darkened. I used to hide underneath the covers reading LGBT magazines and newspapers. LOTL was one of those publications - headed up by Silke Bader - ranked the eight most powerful lesbian in the world by CLEO. A powerhouse publisher, event planner and equality advocate h...

Words are such powerful tools. We use them everyday. In speech. In text. In thought. In almost every human interaction. Yet sometimes we forget just how much we take words for granted and how impactful they can be on others and ultimately shape a belief they have. This podcast is dedicated to everyone who's ever felt a little different. Anyone who's searched for that understanding and may not have received the kind of words they hoped for.

On the eight Monday Mocha show, we still continue in Hollywood and chat to someone who has left a heart print on my journey. I first caught a glimpse of him on Showtime's Hit Series, "Queer As Folk," where he played the character Emmett Honeycutt. From there, Peter Paige has gone on to be one of the creators and writer's for the ABC's hit show, The Fosters. One of the many many things I love about Peter is the fact that he always makes time to connect with you. A lot of people reach out to him a...

On the seventh Monday Mocha show, we head to the Hollywood Hills and chat to long time actress, Liz Vassey. I first watched her as "Lou," on Brotherly Love and since then she has graced our scenes playing many a character in Nikki & Nora, CSI and Two and A Half Men to name a Few. "Sometimes the best relationships aren't the longest. You come into this world, find your tribe and sometimes you learn what you're supposed to learn. As long as you're acting the way you think is best and are good ...

As kids who enter the world and go through brand new experiences, the memories we form pave the way to our beliefs about ourselves. Generally speaking, a lot of these beliefs evolve around how much we want to be liked - how much we want that fellow human approval. After all, it's apart of humanity to want to relate and connect with our own species. The issues that arise from this need for approval is that we compromise so much of our own inner voice and needs and fill our minds and energies with...

It's the sixth Monday Mocha podcast show. I have loved the diversity in guests that I've had the honour of spending time with. One of the reasons why I wanted to start this particular series is to help change the attitude and resistance we have towards Monday which is essentially the mentality we go into the week with. By chatting to an inspiring individual, taking time out to have a coffee or a break - it's a good way to ease into your week. "I think friendships can be cyclical based off where ...

Are you liking The Ginni Show? It would mean the world to me if you gave it five stars. Click here to leave your review. Now..onto this episode. Are you constantly told that you're getting in the way of yourself? And then it's hard to understand what that actually means? What is it about you that is getting in the way of yourself? What are some of the thought patterns, beliefs and behaviours we subconsciously engage in or are programmed within us that stops us from living the happiest and health...

Are you happy? What are some of the things about you that make you happy? And in your life that make you happy? Sometimes happiness is a projection of what others predicate for us. These others can be anyone from our parents, grandparents, teachers, cousins to our school peers. We find ourselves trying to squeeze into a mould that simply isn't made for us. This applies to almost everything about us. The way we think, the way we behave, what we do and don't do. It's interesting how much this proj...

We're a month into The Monday Mocha Series. I'm loving the responses we're getting to these so far. Some of you have expressed just how much you're learning from these coffee dates and it brings me much joy!

How are you? No really, how are you? I think sometimes, that phrase is used quite flippantly as a way to start a conversation rather than make it the focus of the conversation. If we were actually using the phrase, "How are you," and paying extra attention to the response, then the need for a day where you ask people how they are and make it your focus wouldn't be necessary. If we're aware of ourselves more and how we feel, we're aware of others and how they feel. It becomes difficult to navigat...

This episode is all about.....ICE CREAM! YAY! Well...not quite. It is about ice cream and it's glorious flavours however I use it as a comparative. One of my first teachers - Shakti Durga, explains spirituality in a way that compares to Ice Cream. She said, "Spirituality is a lot like ice cream. It comes in it's different flavours and expressions, but at the end of the day, it's all ice cream." We take a look at some of the flavours and what we can appreciate from them. Now, let's go and have so...
