In this episode, we sit down with Jennifer Ginty — a survivor, mother, and the voice behind Moody Monster, a page dedicated to mental health, emotional expression, and self-compassion.
Jennifer shares her powerful story of surviving childhood sexual abuse, navigating toxic shame, and the long road to healing. She opens up about the years of dissociation, depression, and feeling unseen, and how reconnecting with her inner child and creating safe spaces transformed her life.
We also talk about Moody Monster, the vulnerable and creative outlet where Jennifer gives language and imagery to the emotional rollercoaster many survivors feel but rarely name. Her content gives permission to feel, and to heal.
If you’ve ever carried shame that wasn’t yours, or you’ve struggled to find your voice after trauma, Jennifer’s story will meet you with truth, compassion, and hope.
