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.

Think about your late teens and early twenties. What did your life look like? Well, this episode’s guest, Anna Ratala, was interning in Brussels and then running for elected office in her hometown. Anna knew from a young age that she had been born with an entrepreneurial spirit. She also knew, having grown up in small-town Finland, that she wanted to experience a world outside, and completely different to, what she’d always known. It’s these two things that brought Anna around the world - first ...

What do you picture when you think of Iceland? A vast white tundra, whitened by snow and ice? Perpetual cold and darkness? I mean, the name ICE-land insinuates as much, right? Wrong! What would you say if I told you it’s a place that turns the color gray into a beautiful shade? Or somewhere that’s as close to being on another planet as you can get? Seems more enticing now, huh? Well, this is how Adam Posner, founder of NHP Talent Group, host of the popular podcast, ThePOZcast, and expert travele...

In 2012, Erin won her first World Cup race in Slalom in Germany, making her the first Canadian woman in 41 years to achieve such a feat.

On this episode of The Ginni Show, I speak with Cynthia Rowley, award-winning fashion designer and travel aficionado. Cynthia grew up in a small town in midwest Illinois before packing up her sewing machines and moving to New York City, where she eventually realized her dream of becoming a fashion designer. With theatrics including Elvis impersonators and (literally) lighting runways on fire, Cynthia’s fashion shows are famously known for their dramatics. Cynthia employs the same mindsight to de...

From camping in the Himalayas to surfing with sharks in Byron Bay, she maintains that some of the most memorable travel experiences are born from living on the edge.

What do you value? Now that’s a loaded question. Getting clear on what you value is something most people - unless they consciously make space to consider this - never let dictate the way they live. But the truth is, if you let life run the show, you’ll find yourself all out of balance. On this episode, I talk with Frank Clark, an awe-inspiring serial entrepreneur, recognized as one of the Top CEOs in his field. He has created and sold many multinational companies, producing hundreds of millions...
Where do you see magic in the world around you? It’s easy to get caught up in planning every little decision in life, looking only at the steps in front of you. But when you take time to look up and intentionally take in your environment, you start to see the magic in the world around you. On this episode, I talk with Ashley Gonor, host of the Uncover Your Magic Podcast. Throughout our conversation, Ashley shares with me her entrepreneurial journey so far, from buying a spa to recovering from th...
What do you see when you dream about the future? During this COVID-19 pandemic, dreaming about the future poses some unique difficulties. We’re not sure what lies ahead and how cultures around the world will change, or what exactly will stand the test of time. Today, I invite you to look even deeper into the future: what’s your vision for your 60s, 70s, 80s, and older? On this episode, I talk with Dr. Ronald Kaiser, who works as the Director of Psychology at one of the world’s leading headache c...
Do you ever think to yourself, “I’m not enough” or “Who are you to do this”? This is impostor syndrome – and, let me tell you, it’s a tough disease to kick. My guest on this episode is no stranger to battling impostor syndrome, and she’s helped countless others free themselves from their inner critic as well. Adri Kyser is an international holistic wellness expert who has spent the last 15 years helping highly-driven people get out of their own way, utilize their unique skills, and build unstopp...
Nobody likes having tough conversations – but they’re essential to living a happy life with healthy relationships. So, what’s a tough conversation? It’s one of those conversations where you rehearse it over and over again in your mind before you have it, and you can’t think of anything else until it happens. Maybe they come with anxiety, fear, vulnerability. More often than not, we avoid actually having these conversations, hoping the tension will blow over rather than blow up. Here’s the thing:...
How are you spending your time during the global pandemic? Before COVID-19 hit, many of us were constantly stimulated. We were always on the go, looking forward to our next objective. At night, many choose to fill time in front of the television or something else. In other words, sitting in stillness is a rare experience. We’ve developed a behavioral pattern of constantly bombarding and distracting our brains with outside stimulation, which blocks out our own thoughts. That’s why I brought Mitra...
What are you doing for self-care these days? Now, more than ever, we need to take care of ourselves: our minds, bodies, and souls. Maybe you take a bath, meditate, or allow yourself some time to create a work of art. But sometimes, self-care looks like setting boundaries. On this episode, I talk with Nancy Levin, a master coach focused on helping people-pleasers and over-achievers make themselves a priority and set boundaries that actually stick. For many women around the world, setting boundari...
Need a little more laughter in your life? This week’s guest will bring you just that. A few weeks ago, JL Cauvin recorded an off-the-cuff, selfie-style video, wearing a MAGA hat, and he took the internet by storm with his impeccable impersonation of Donald J. Trump. On this week’s episode, JL talks us thought what it was like to become famous overnight, what he was working toward for the last 16 years of his comedic career, and why he nearly gave up comedy completely. Tune in to feel a little li...
Things are just not normal right now – so why do we expect ourselves to act normally? There’s a bit of societal pressure right now to use your “extra” time to learn a new skill, launch a side business, or do something extraordinary. But we also need to give ourselves a break, time to readjust and create new and sustainable routines to carry us through the COVID-19 quarantine. That’s exactly what my guest today, Karlee Fain, has taught me. We cannot expect ourselves to function as “normal” when t...
It’s time to have a conversation about diet culture. I’ve been on many diets throughout my life so far, but I’ve found that almost every reason why people decide to start dieting just isn’t sustainable. The only diet that is sustainable: taking care of your body out of love and respect for yourself. That’s exactly the mindset of today’s guest: Nichole Wurth. Nichole is the founder of Wildly Alive. Her philosophy is that getting healthy isn’t about forcing your body into a certain shape, or to me...
What’s holding you back from living your best life? We all have blockages that hold us back from abundance, and oftentimes working to shift those blockages feels like an impossible feat. The thing is, this only feels impossible when we fall out of alignment with our soul purpose. On this week’s episode, I talk with Jennifer Longmore: a three-time bestselling author. This conversation was pretty special and timely, considering what’s happening around the world right now. We talk about transformat...
Hello, my friends. This episode is a little unusual, given the unprecedented circumstances we are currently facing. It’s officially been 2 years and 3 months since I moved from Melbourne to New York City – and it’s certainly had its adjustments. Every day, I wake up to the sounds of the city and the crowds filling it up. But, over the last few weeks, the city’s changed. With COVID-19 pushing the world to make some drastic changes in a very short period of time to keep everyone safe, it’s more im...
In the next 5 to 10 years, the gig economy will take up approximately 50% of the workforce. While this fascinating evolution provides numerous additional opportunities to people around the world, it also opens us up to new vulnerabilities. That’s why Tia Meyers founded Freelancing Females: an organization that provides resources to women who work in the freelancing industry. On this week’s episode, Tia breaks down the unique benefits and challenges of being a gig worker. Throughout our conversat...
Peace of mind. When was the last time you genuinely felt your mind at peace? True, inner peace is a rare occurrence for many people today. With society constantly pushing us to work longer, harder, and smarter every day, we don’t often give our minds a rest. We’re constantly looking for the next best opportunity, or maybe for the next best distraction. But true peace comes into play when we finally accept ourselves for who we are – and that is the first step on the road to happiness. This week’s...
Genuinely connecting with others is a rare occurrence these days. With smartphone addiction on the rise and technology making human-to-human connection less and less frequent, genuine connection becomes just that much more valuable. My guest today, Carolyn Kiel, is incredibly passionate about connecting with others. Carolyn is the host of the Beyond 6 Seconds Podcast, where she holds conversations with everyday people, pulling extraordinary stories out of them. Tune in to hear more about Carolyn...
What makes you feel good? What motivates you to get out of bed each day? Sometimes it’s the pursuit of your dream job, providing for your family, or just creating space to enjoy that first sip of coffee in the morning. For David Frangioni, it was drumming. David Frangioni grew up blind in one eye. Due to his disability, he was bullied throughout his childhood. But David refused to let them get to him. Instead, he immersed himself in an environment of feeling good. He was in pursuit of being a dr...
Think about the last time you posted a picture on Instagram. Did you take the picture at a specific flattering angle, add a filter or two, or even edit parts of your body to appear different than they really are? What’s fascinating about this process is that we all know we do it, yet we still judge ourselves critically when it comes to how we look. When we’re not satisfied, we then move on to look at other people’s photos. Chances are, they’ve probably done the same thing—and yet we continue to ...
How do you need to grow? Exposing the areas in your life that you need to grow in can be incredibly vulnerable. Society expects that we have all things figured out all the time, but that’s just not how life works. Growth is a fundamental part of the human experience, but growth means that at some point you must accept that you don’t have things all figured out—and that’s okay. On this episode, I talk with Adam King all about growth. We both share personal stories about learning how to take care ...
What does self-care look like for you? Self-care is a vital part of living and thriving. Self-care practices establish a foundation for us to build on top of. But, without that foundation, there is no platform to launch off of. My next guest teaches and preaches all about self-care. Kim Flucher is a dynamite and powerhouse. As a business expert and coach, she’s gained a lot of insight into how crucial self-care is in a society that doesn’t prioritize or value it. Throughout our conversation, Kim...
Are you living your life authentically? We all have moments where we just want to hide away in fear of how others will receive us. The truth is, that’s exactly the time when we need to be our most authentic selves. This is, however, much easier said than done, especially for LGBTQ individuals. My next guest is a superhero in the Australian LGBTQ community: Harry Cook. 6 years ago, he started his coming out journey through posting a YouTube video. Now, he’s written a book about that experience ca...
Have you ever taken a leap of faith into the unknown? It’s kind of like standing at the edge of a cliff, imagining all the possibility that awaits you on the other side. Then, you close your eyes—and jump. Moving countries in your adult life can feel a bit like that, too, especially when you’re in pursuit of a dream. You leave behind the environments and cultures that are familiar and comfortable to you, communities you can count on, and you also leave behind some memories and those you’ve grown...
