Anyone else adore Mal’s laugh? Makes me smile every single time. 🙂

[@susanacruz2446]

Absolutely 😅❤ that's one of the things I always love hearing on her podcast. Is a beautiful, talented, and charming woman 😍

[@caitlynmims]

I majored in Christian studies, went to therapy to try to rid my gay, and so happy it never went away. Love this podcast .

[@orangexmm]

i heard the united churches in canada accept the gay community.

[@kirstyvanwell4024]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jazzyj6640]

Girl, that's like trying to change your hair color without dye! I'm glad you're able to be yourself. 😊❤

[@jacquesdaigle5835]

This lady Chloe Mason, on top of being beautiful, I would listen to her all night. The depth of her soul is outstanding. It proves that you don't need diplomas and long studies to express such wisdom. I am 77 years old but I love her !!!!!!

[@Meredith_Paige]

As a late in life lesbian I really love hearing from other moms (and/or anyone who was married to a man and had to “blow their life up” to live their truth.)

[@loimieforsman2305]

Hi! I am still married to a man but longing for my pride life. My husband knew that I am a bi before we got married. Still embraced me.

[@Daphnefav]

I really like woman but I'm not sure if she into me becouse of her kids and she was married but my gay dart never failed 😪 with her im not able to do the first step also I know her family so trying just to forget that I like her .😭

[@elisegray6962]

​@@Daphnefav 😢 trust your guts

[@tinakrisnaibot3233]

Well, lesbians don’t marry men. Bisexuals do that shit.

[@becbec-pg2vc]

​@daphnen6157 I have the same story. The thing is me and her are both have our own family 😢

[@savingJobutupaki]

Thank you Chloe for helping me to not be ashamed of my past. I was diagnosed with BPD at 18 and had tried to kill myself 5 times. I'm also a rape victim and a recovering alcoholic. I'm still struggling with my eating disorder and now I have a mom with Alzheimers to take care of. It's all too much to bare and sometimes the only thing I can do is to just wake up and exist. I have nothing more to give. BUT recently I discovered I'm a lesbian. Actually this is my saving grace. This is the reason I wake up these days with a bounce in my step. It's like I finally found my place in this world. I haven't had any serious relationships with any girls yet, but when I do, I know I will sob for weeks. I'm ready to be me.

[@knstew75]

❤ this! Chloe's story and candor are truly inspirational. Love this podcast and the diversity of the guests. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

[@moovieday]

I cannot tell you how transformative this podcast has been for me so far. I thank the universe everyday that I’ve found it and that you make it! At 24, I feel seen for the first time in my life

[@donnalee7440]

Such an insightful sit down, wow I have the utmost respect for these woman. I love that “what you put on your skin suit does not equate to your sexuality” 💐

[@sulagreen5792]

Mal, you should also do an episode where you tell your story! We have heard bits and pieces, but not in full. Would be nice for you to be the interviewee for one of these.

[@nrsyzygy]

Thank you, thank you for having diverse guests with diverse experiences! And I love the msg, Scrappy is sexy 🎉 Respect to people that make it work. Loved this episode!

[@LorenaTheWitch]

I loved Chloe as a guest! Her story is so real! I feel the struggle and I am so happy her life has a bright path

[@user-ww5kn8hx7b]

Omg amazing!!!! Feel every word! I grew up in a cristian community, I was married, I have 9 yo son, it’s so close to me, thank you so much for the guest! Greetings from Russia where unfortunately lgbt is forbidden

[@i.1213]

I don’t know you, but I tune in on this channel just for the joy that this presenter is able to convey with her smile and personality… ❤️‍🔥 The interviews are a bonus…

[@junevertucci3420]

Fantastic episode. Chloe was truly inspirational. The final words were so moving, had me in tears. Mal did her usual excellent job of interviewing. So glad I found this podcast o.n KZbin

[@yeracontra]

"They saw something 3 times? Ima see one too" 😂 Hilarious but also such an insightful episode! Chloe has so much wisdom to share from her life. Respect to her and her hustle, she's amazing! Loved listening to her break the ups and downs of her life and lessons she's learned. I'm happy to hear she's ascending. I've been through some hardships too growing up, I relate to the conversation of how embarrassing it is but you guys are so right. It's made us into empathetic strong people. Also- Mal you're a great interviewer, you ask great questions and really bring out the guest and you truly listen to them 💕

[@rensins08]

This podcast is literally keeping me alive at this point lol this & therapy. There's so much i could say about how relatable the guests are or the great questions the host asks or how you guys are giving me a level of representation i haven't found anywhere else or that sometimes you guys make these really validating statements that help me show myself more compassion but that would be so long & I'd end up a blubbering mess alone in my office 😂 so ill just say thank you so so much & please keep going.

[@mybeautifuldisaster3750]

she’s the gift that keeps on giving. Fav person uve had on this podcast! Also, I’m sorry u got robbed while enjoying ur orange chicken😂 sometimes a fast gain rlly leaves quicker than it came lmao

[@uscitizen3252]

This has officially become my favorite podcast. I look forward to it every week.

[@marimar4756]

Same here!

[@helenlawson8426]

What Mum's do for their kids will always impress me so much. Yeah I know there's some bad ones out there but the norm is one of a beautiful strength that not enough of mums I feel get to really appreciate or recognise in themselves. x Chloe is just amazing and I can see why they wanted her on. I'm trans and I appreciated how she explained things to her boy. It's so much more than who you like & how you dress, that Chloe gets it and managed to explain that to young child with so much still to learn about themselves gives me hope. If her son did come out at trans later in life you can tell she'll be their for them. One of the people who helped me at a tough part of my life was a sex worker, she had a heart and a fierceness that I needed. She was the strength I never had. I was the most anxiety led broken person you can imagine and I was trying to transition. Her and a few others saved my life back then. Much to some peoples surprise I will always publicly support sex workers. People are different and that's beautiful.

[@megshogie6123]

It's that time again!! Woohoo!😊 I agree with that comment about having diverse guests....I absolutely love hearing what people experienced, and how it affected them. How much I identified with their experiences, or just learn something completely different from what I experienced myself. I loved hearing her story especially bc my dad is gay. And figured it out after marrying my mom and having me. Thanks for that.❤ keep em coming Mal😊

[@An_Ka_Li]

Such a nice episode with some great insights. I'm in a weird phase in my life right now but this made me feel better and calmer. Thank you both!

[@ljvefpee]

Loved the episode!!! but support the starbucks boycott girlies!!!

[@zzzzzmania123]

one of my fav episodes but definitely disappointed 😭 not the starbucks

[@kbelle9569]

This podcast was so real. No one but yourself gets to define who you are and what you do. I learn that late but better late than never.

[@SaloYD]

Love this PODCAST you have diverse guests, amazing topics LOVE LOVE LOVE you deserve some more sponsors!!

[@lovelight8722]

Loved this episode so much. It felt like I was sitting down with an older sister and she was imparting valuable advice ✨❤

[@L._._]

I loved this ❤ I’m also queer married to a man with a son, with a heavy past (heroin, homelessness). Your message was so positive and made me not feel so alone in trying to move thru the shame of my past and what she did to survive.

[@The-Labbed-Life]

Mal's stripper story gave me an emotional rollercoaster that I didn't expect omg. I screamed from YEEY to NOOOOO WAAAAY. Daaaaamn

[@wildestdreams_]

I always end up crying at some point during your interviews Mal!! Loved hearing Chloe share her story and insights ❤ great work!

[@jamilaanderson7505]

They were hilarious!!! 😂😂😂 Always worth watching!!

[@Miss-O]

Wow what a fantastic episode, probably my favourite so far (which says a lot because I have absolutely loved every ep). What a truly meaningful, warm and inspirational conversation 🏳️‍🌈

[@user-xt9kf9ll5j]

Chloe Mason is so insightful, articulate, raw, brutally truthful and shines such a bright light.🌟 She is such an exemplar human being. I am in awe. Love her. As always, Mal is so sweet, gentle and rocks the interviews. Lover her too.🤟

[@zzzzzmania123]

one of my fav episodes hands down but y’all! don’t forget there’s still a boycott on starbucks. they’re supporting the genocide happening in palestine

[@LaLaLaLaLa8237]

Yes exactly!!

[@DHU11]

Patronising asf. Don’t tell people what to do. This Starbucks “boycott” is a mass hysteria. you feel morally superior by abstaining from cake pops and frapps. Awww … so noble!! Hah not… guess what…. your abstaining from Starbucks is doing NOTHING. NOTHING!! Please READ.

[@DHU11]

Slacktivism 101

[@dawnlowe9524]

I appreciate the honesty on this podcast,, it's really refreshing

[@UrsaKyma]

Very beautiful and strong women - BIG respact 💪🏾 Beautiful on inside and outside

[@deannawestendorf8700]

[@KayBassie]

[@meschahayes1003]

Favorite interview so far!! She is a wise woman!!

[@mialindvall]

Her final words 🥹❤️

[@lydiaarmour4793]

Wonderful podcast 👏🏾😭. No one is talking about how she hit the nail when she said “ I cannot make my highest potential look how I started”😮‍💨 31:59

[@eshevlyakova]

5:19 Same thing. I had a friend in 2nd or 3rd grade that I really wanted to be "friends" with, and I remember the feelings I looked at her with. Then I thought, "Well, she's just a cool friend"

[@magdalinekenita7628]

Very informative episode. Thank you so much for bringing Chloe to the podcast. I appreciate this podcast so much❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Much love from South Africa.

[@Flannel_girly]

Girl just want to say thank you for this podcast! There are not many spaces in life where I could find people who relate to the lesbian experience, but this is definitely one of them. It means the world to me. Thank you!!!!

[@JulesLern]

What an incredible journey! Thank you for sharing 💗

[@jo_spot]

Loved Chloe’s advice!!

[@LaLaLaLaLa8237]

Shes soooo gorgeous, captivating, incredibly intelligent, witty , funny af, empathetic, understanding, independent, a Mom, an author, a model, she has some type of spirituality/faith, nothing handed to her, has worked for everything so obviously resilient, and a literal goddess! I bet ppl are lining up to try and get to know her better, to date her, i wish there was a fanning yourself emoji!

[@judithfox2435]

I loved hearing her story.

[@irinadrofa7802]

Chloe is Gorgeous!!! Adore her confidence and the sense of humour.

[@sarahcharlesworth8240]

That was amazing.

[@Sclafani_art_studio]

I played softball at loyola u chicago and ended up dropping out... Honestly the stigma around that is horrible but it was the best feeling.. like a weight off my shoulders

[@erikareyes2848]

Chloe a real one ❤💯

[@uselesspotatooooo]

i really need this, thank you so so so so freaking much!

[@malose_lowskee]

Probably the best episode I’ve ever watched. Wow

[@suiwandanda418]

[@jonathanbaer9409]

[@virgilmcclendon5072]

😎😃😊😜😍😘💖

[@JuneBee9606]

I don't know how to explain it but she (Chloe) gives me Victoria Fuller 🤔

[@EmiliaSkade]

This reminds me of snow that product when she decided to come out as a lesbian after having a kid and a 10 year marriage it really is never too late

[@kellysantiago6052]

She's literally Evelyn Hugo 😭

[@PeachNEPTR]

As a trans woman I just want to say, you don’t have to be attracted to men to be a trans woman, gender identity isn’t sexuality. I don’t want to say that was anyone’s intent in this video but it does kind of come across that way. I want everyone to know your identity and your sexuality are separate things and whatever they are is valid.

[@Beautyisj]

Just finished this podcast and wooows what Chloe said at the end has me crying at work 🥲 I loved every word ❤️

[@e7vinegar1]

You never know what people been through but everybody has a story. 🫶🏾
