Malisa offers insights from her journey of intuitive, wanderlust-inspired living, the lessons learned from burnout and activism, and the empowerment found in choosing yourself—no matter your relationship status or stage of life. Whether you’re interested in social change, spiritual embodiment, or simply want to be inspired by the radical act of showing up fully as yourself, this episode is a powerful invitation into devotion, truth-telling, and the transformative art of adornment.

Malisa shares how her upbringing as the daughter of a Bangladeshi freedom fighter shaped her commitment to justice and community, and how her identity as a "creatrix" fuels her mission to alchemize the world into art and beauty. Together, they unpack the power of reclaiming cultural traditions, the nuanced realities of cultural appreciation versus appropriation, and the healing energy of beauty as a frequency we can all access.
