“I think we need to remind ourselves sometimes, especially those of us who've had that trauma as a child, were conditioned as children to be like, ‘Oh, this is what life is going to be like. They’re in charge.’ But when we are an adult, we realize, “Actually, no, we're in the driver's seat.’ Your inner child can sit in the passenger seat and you say to yourself, ‘You can chill. I got this. We don't have to go through this again.’” Ginni Saraswati is the founder and CEO of Ginni Media, a podcast and content production company that specializes in podcast strategy, production, and creation for entrepreneurs and Fortune 500 companies. She is also co-founder of both the Podcast Accelerator, a program designed to coach clients to a fully realized podcast in just 8 weeks, and Metro Podcast Studio, a podcast and video recording studio in the heart of NYC. In addition to her entrepreneurial projects, Ginni is the host of The Ginni Show, a multi-award nominated podcast that gives listeners a front row seat to stories from movers and shakers about how their lives were changed through travel, human connection, and adventure. Ginni shared with me how the misunderstandings and judgment around mental illness have affected her and her family’s lives, the lack of protection around her that led to deep trauma, and why she believes so deeply now in the power of setting boundaries.
