Spaces Between

About Spaces Between

Hi, I'm Gina Minardi, a licensed therapist. From rehabs in Malibu, to homeless shelters in East LA, and now in my private practice, I've witnessed the spectrum of human beings struggle through their stories, trauma, and healing. I've also observed my own — and it has been both painful and beautiful. Growth, self-actualization, and a spiritual practice are not for the faint of heart. There's no one "right" way to heal and you truly are your best resource. Therapists, healers, shamans, and intuitives are meant to support you on your path — but they don't have all of the answers. You do. "Spaces Between" is a podcast about the spaces between laughter, tears, thoughts, stories, breath, ego, soul, and growth. It's about personal liberation, inner knowing, and the tools that will get you there. I will cover topics that make many of us uncomfortable – and interviewing people who are willing to go there.

   Episode 51: 2025: When The Universe Lovingly B*tch Slaps You Back Into the Wholeness of Your Being

   2025 was a challenging year for me. Balancing motherhood, my career, taking care of myself, and my relationship felt like A LOT. While also watching and feeling into the suffering and pain of all that is unraveling in the world…felt debilitating at times. I decided to close out the year with a plant medicine journey, with a very specific intention to take ownership of my shadow, and things that felt out of alignment in my life. The Universe (AKA Spirit) served me up quite a challenging ceremony, that I was unbelievably grateful for.

   Episode 50: The Wound Is Where The Light Enters

   Fenix is Gina's ceremonial guide with plant medicine, an artist, energy healer, and dear friend.  They discuss Fenix's personal healing journey including her battle with breast cancer, the search for her birth family, and her deep work with plant medicine, particularly Ayahuasca. Fenix shares her experiences of moving from victimhood to a state of awe and curiosity, emphasizing the importance of feeling, intuition, and being present. They explore the themes of perfectionism, self-love, compassion, and forgiveness. Rebirth through lived experience, not theory or surface-level healing. Remembering one's true nature after profound loss, rupture, or abandonment. Healing is non-linear and often initiated through crisis rather than choice. Listening to the body as an intelligence, not something to override or fix. Grief is a teacher and initiator, not something to "get over." Spiritual bypassing and performative wellness culture. Healing requires slowing down, presence, and deep honesty. Healing happens in relationship — with self, with others, our ancestors, and with the Earth. The importance of creating safe containers for transformation. Healing emerges from integration, not perfection. The feminine as embodied wisdom, not gender. Trauma is acknowledged as stored in the nervous system, not just memory. True restoration involves grief, anger, love, and joy — all welcomed. This conversation is less about becoming "better" and more about coming   home to yourself.

   Episode 49: Ayahuasca – Holding Hands With My Ancestors

   The Deepest healing of the Mother Line I've ever experienced. I reconnected with my mother, who passed away when I was 17 yrs old. Connecting to my ancestral line and all of the women who felt disrespected, under supported, and under-resourced as mothers and women. Feeling in my body the great disrespect to the Earth. We are not separate from the earth. We deeply need to come back to our hearts and souls. What one does to another is not separate, we ALL feel it, and she feels it (The Great Mother). The Climate crisis is also collective trauma, violence, and divisiveness. Looking at thought patterns and the relationship with my mind. The Divine Timing of Things. The ineffable experience of working with this medicine. Bliss and loving dance with the divine. All of the information that came through – this life, past lives, and future. I felt home – it was a deep REMEMBRANCE OF COMING HOME. All of the love I felt and received. Receiving and experiencing love at such a depth and allowing it in. Feeling deeply into self-love. We are all so loved by the divine and we are all inherently worthy beings. Breathing, Trusting, and Surrendering to life and the overwhelming moments in ceremony. Merging with the matrix of the universe, no time and no space, I died, the Eternal Space Between (no birth and no death).  The terror and beauty in that. Wild to experience while being alive in a body. Grandmother Ayahuasca spoke to me in moments of overwhelm. "Come back to your breath. Come back to your heart." The power of remembering who you REALLY ARE. It is a miracle to be alive. To be human is to learn and relearn the lesson of letting go, forgiveness, and love. We co-create with the universe. Don't forget the power of your breath.
