Anela Malik is one of my favorite internet (and real-life) friends. There’s no one who I respect more when it comes to telling beautiful stories with video, and as you’ll see in this episode… she’s so much fun and hilarious, too.
Today, we laugh a lot talking about our shared love of smutty books, and Anela opens up about the past year in which she went through a divorce and wound up doing a lot of therapy, self-love, and intention-setting as she re-enters the dating world and a new phase of life.
We also get into:
* Her visit to a food festival that ran out of food (yikes)
* Why Kindle Unlimited is the best/worst thing in our lives
* A surreal family story she documented on a trip to Japan
* A rapid fire “So Out On” segment
* Her philosophy on creating content about food, creativity, and travel
* Her mindset toward dating and love after divorce
* The TikTok trend that made her LOL, IRL
Connect with Anela:
