This week, I’m joined by the incredible Ginni Saraswati—Founder & CEO of Ginni Media, award-winning journalist, and host of The Ginni Show. She’s built a thriving podcast production company, collaborated with some of the biggest voices in media, and helped countless others share their stories.
But this episode? It’s about her story.
In this deeply personal conversation, Ginni opens up about growing up with a mentally ill parent, the trauma of childhood sexual abuse, and the cultural stigmas that often silence survivors. She shares what it was like to be a parentified child, how she built resilience in the face of abandonment and instability, and why therapy and reparenting became her path to healing.
We talk about the nonlinear nature of grief after losing a parent, breaking generational cycles, finding love in adulthood, and building a life that actually feels safe. Ginni’s honesty is rare—and this conversation is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t mean erasing the past. It means owning it.
If you’ve ever felt like you were carrying too much, stuck in patterns you can’t explain, or just needed someone to say, “me too”—this episode is for you.
