The Ginni Show

Ginni Saraswatiwww.ginnisaraswati.com

What if the wisdom you need to change your life is just one question away?


Welcome to The Ginni Show, where multi-award-nominated broadcaster, producer, and entrepreneur Ginni Saraswati sits down with the world’s most fascinating minds—experts, Olympians, doctors, disruptors, and everyday revolutionaries—for unapologetically curious conversations that heal, elevate, and expand the way we live.


This is not another self-help podcast stuffed with regurgitated advice. It’s where insight meets intention. From neuroscience-backed sleep hacks with Dr. Alison Kole, to mastering your focus with behavioral design guru Nir Eyal, from emotional detoxing with cancer-thriver Elissa Goodman, to Olympic breakdancer Sunny Choi’s raw reflections on failure, identity, and joy—each episode is a masterclass in embodied wisdom, served with wit, warmth, and clarity. It’s where the questions we’re all afraid to ask are voiced. The ones that cut through noise, challenge dogma, and invite authenticity to the table.


Guests are invited into intimate dialogue—human to human, heart to heart—where transformation doesn’t sound like a TED Talk, but like a friend handing you a flashlight in the dark.

You’ll walk away with more than motivation. You’ll leave with tactical tools, paradigm shifts, and the quiet nudge to look inward. Expect science-rooted truths on productivity, holistic health, emotional mastery, creative resilience, and how to live in deeper alignment with who you truly are.


Whether you're an overachieving entrepreneur trying to unhook from hustle culture, a seeker curious about what lies beyond the scroll, or simply a human looking to feel more alive, The Ginni Show will meet you where you are—and lovingly call you forward.


New episodes drop weekly. Each one is a portal. Step in—and come out lighter.

The Joyful State of Mind with Chris Green

As a child, what did you dream about becoming? How does your current reality compare to that childhood dream? More often than not, the dreams we conjure up as children don’t line up with where we go as adults—but sometimes it’s right where we need to be, and it’s what’s best for us and our families. My next guest is Chris Green, host of the Gravity Beard Podcast. Throughout his childhood and into young adulthood, he always said he would never go into a career that had a commission-based salary. ...

Exploring the Unfair Advantage with Chris Winfield

When was the last time you felt truly connected to yourself and to others around you? Connection is one of the most valuable aspects of life, and this value often presents itself in intangible forms. Having healthy relationships with yourself and others ultimately manifests into a sense of calmness, happiness, and belonging.Yet, in our hectic day-to-day lives, it’s easy to lose those connections and forget about ourselves along the way. This is one reason why connection is so crucial: it helps t...

Sink or Swim with Wendy Schultz

Whose life are you living? Are you living the life you want to live or the one that someone else is telling you to?

This week’s guest, Wendy Schultz, knows this truth well.

Do What Makes You Feel Good with Chris Bello

Can you imagine a life where you never feel the need to take a vacation to escape it?

Unapologetic Self-Love with Betty Jean Bell

What does self-love look like for you? This is a notion I’ve been exploring this year. If you think about it, it almost sounds self-indulgent. But, the truth is, it’s the core of happiness. How you talk to yourself, the boundaries you draw, how you spend your time, energy, and money all affect your view of yourself. It’s about knowing when to say no, and looking after your needs before tending to others. This is the most important type of love you’ll ever experience in your life. In this episode...

Change Your Language & Choose Your Power with Dr. Wayne Pernell

Do you feel like you just don’t have enough time in the day to do what you really want to do? Do you ever feel like you’re just going with the flow, and the purpose of every move you make is just to please others? When we do this consistently, it becomes subconscious behavior. It forms a habit—one that is particularly difficult to break. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Wayne Pernell about the importance of communication between humans—and why it seems to be so difficult to do at times. We also ...

Choosing Freedom with Heather Parady

What does “figuring out” mean to you?We sometimes take ourselves so seriously in our search to figure out what our needs are and what our purpose in life is, that we often get stuck, not knowing where to go forward. Humans are the only species that roam the Earth with the power of choice, and that could be both a blessing and a curse.In today’s episode, I talk with Heather Parady about the power of taking action and choosing to get out and explore the world and play and connect with your inner c...

Owning Your Strengths with Jeff Van Note

What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Getting to know the depths of yourself, owning your strengths, and identifying your weaknesses is no small feat. In life, we’re constantly critiquing ourselves and being critiqued by others. It’s all too easy to fall into the trap of focusing on what we’re not good at—and need to improve on—rather than where our natural talents lie. But it’s also equally important—if not more important—to also focus on your strengths. Having that self-awareness ...

Working On Ourselves with Jude Walsh

What makes you happy? Usually, what makes us happiest are the people in our lives. The ones we choose to have in our lives can have a lot to do with our happiness, but sometimes we end up relying a little too much on others to make us happy and feel loved. Experiencing love is such a huge force within the human experience. It can nourish us, help us evolve, or even destroy us.This week’s guest knows these dynamics around love and loss all too well. Jude Walsh, author of Post-Divorce Bliss, knows...

Time Well Spent with Libby Moore

Do you ever ask yourself, “Where did the time go?”Time is our most valuable asset, yet some of us are too caught up in the day-to-day tasks of life to realize just how we’re spending it. Unlike money or physical possessions, it can’t be saved or stowed away for a rainy day. But, through being present, building relationships, and living authentically each day, our time will be well spent. In this episode, I talk with Libby Moore. She spent 11 years of her time as Chief of Staff for Oprah Winfrey ...

Are you working all that time non-stop 24/7? How’s that going for you?Hard work and determination are key components of a successful career. Without it we wouldn’t move forward. However, having time off is an important part of the success that doesn’t get enough credit. Work doesn't just stay at the office anymore.
