The Ginni Show

Week Two of The Monday Mocha Series. For those of you who have popped by for the first time to have a cuppa with me - this podcast is a chance to have a break from my Aunties, Ammi and 170 cousins featured on my Wednesday podcast and hear the journey of an inspiring individual from some part of the world. As you all know, I love talking. A lot. The reason for starting the Monday Mocha podcast is t...

There’s really nothing like a good vent. It’s the start of a process to a solution. But many of us start that process and just stay at the step of venting which can leads to loads of negativity and frustration – especially when others don’t agree with our point of view. In the episode, we explore the themes of the fine line between venting and b*&ching and the ways we can express how we feel i...

Kicking of the first of The Monday Mocha Series today. It's a chance to have a break from my Aunties, Ammi and 170 cousins and hear the journey of an inspiring individual from some part of the world. As you all know, I love talking. A lot. It's very apparent with the regular Wednesday podcasts. The reason for starting the Monday Mocha podcast is that through the teachings and lessons I have the pr...

#10 No Speak English When door to door salesmen or Jehovas Witness’ would knock on our day, instead of engaging in the conversation and assertively saying, “No, Thank you,” in speaking her truth, Ammi used to just claim that she, “No Speak English.” I’ve found that daily, there are situations that can bring us discomfort and that yucky feeling of unease when the universe presents us with a situati...

#9 Building Walls Over the past three weeks, the world has been either in a state of shock, fear…some are seeking to be positive and others are just in a total state of W.T.F. I didn’t want to make this podcast about politics, but instead I wanted to use what was going on around us to take time to see what was reflected within us. With the constant fear inspiring rhetoric we hear in our news feeds...

We've seen dynamic duos, fantastic friendship groups and the people you call "ride or die." Sometimes, these people come in and out of your life, some of them stay for a season but it's evident that each relationship we have in our life is for a reason. Over the years, I've been blessed to share many close friendships - not all of them are still around, some of them have faded. As these relationsh...

It’s an election special….and I’m sure some of us are a little worried? How many times a day do you worry? What do you actually worry about? Do these worries always come true? Sometimes we tend to focus our energy, our thoughts and our times on things and circumstances that don’t actually exist or happen. When we worry, we are taken away from the present and the gift that it is. I wrote this episo...

Do you take your phone into the bathroom with you? We are now in an era where we have more communication streams than ever before. Each day as technology advances, more gadgets are advanced and invented – our dependence on a devise increases, but our focus on actively interacting and communicating effortlessly decreases. Gone are the days where we only had one way of communicating when and where t...

A massage is a very personal experience. We allow someone into our personal space and are at full trust that they will honour and protect our personal space just as much as we do. Although, from time to time, and hopefully not too often, we encounter those who either do not have an idea of what personal space is and they feel they have a right to invade or intrude because they have merely received...

Everyone has a a creative streak in them. Some of us either lose it along the way because we become distracted with our 9 to 5 job or career path and some of us forget about that part of us, altogether. When we are in touch with our inner child, our creativity soars. Creativity doesn't necessarily mean artistic - you can be a creative problem solver, a creative organiser...you just have to find wh...

The word “No,” is the single most powerful word in the English language. It has just as much power when it’s used and when it’s isn’t used. A lot of us have trouble saying “No,” when it comes to doing things for people we can’t do or particularly don’t want to do. Sometimes we choose to allow things to happen without saying No, and over time we form of the habit of saying No to No. Episode #3 – Sa...

Coming out of the closet has been a much celebrated step in the declaration of love in modern day. Going through life, we all have things about ourselves that we fear sharing with the world, or more to the point, fear coming out with. So we all can have a coming out story. Ginni takes you on a journey of a few coming out stories with comedian Bobby Macumber and Artist Parvati Sundari - from coming...
