The Ginni Show

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 abo...

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...

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 Christ...

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 A...

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 sa...

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...

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 whe...

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 ba...

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...

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...

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...

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...

It's the battle I've faced most of my life. The thing I love more than anything in the world, that was engrained so deeply in my culture and something that I love sharing with my loved ones...my favourite four letter f word.....Food. There's things about Food that I love and things about my love for food that I have used as comfort for other things. This episode, we feast...on all the thought form...

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 l...

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...

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 b...

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 su...

It's time for the next instalment in the Monday Mocha Series. 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. "Every single pers...

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 u...

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! 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...

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 ours...

Week Three 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...

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...
