Just a "Phase" (with Ali Saarela)

[@Gtpl28]

Imagine being 11 and being like I can’t be gay, my mom said I’m not 😂

[@velocitygirl8551]

Seriously, right!?

[@yky01]

This podcast is one of the reasons why I could feel so confident in my identity / sexuality 🥲 congrats on 1 year 🎉🎉

The episodes with older lesbians who came out after having kids, I can't tell you the impact they had on me. Thank you for your podcast, I'm on my way to making it back out. 💜

[@kastro8065]

Ahhh wow! Congratulations on a whole year! Y'all have built something really special and I can't wait to see what the next year brings! 🙏

[@helenlawson8426]

Has it really been a year already?! Ali made for a great guest on this anniversary. 💝 Thank you everyone involved including the amazing guest that have taught me so much about myself and helped me be a better person. 🏳‍🌈♀🏳‍⚧

I’m not one to comment but I have to say how much I love this podcast! Mal is such an engaging, warm and thoughtful host, a joy to watch every week 🤍

[@KayBassie]

I 💯love what Ali said about challenging yourself. Finding moments to step outside of your comfort zone and remove the fear. As sum1 who went to college, I so share Ali's sentiment here 28:01 about college. A lot of uni was just stress+stress, esp in the early years. You are just studying to pass the final exams and don't retain everything. There are aspects about my degree that I still have to refresh my memory on. Plus after finally paying off my student loans last year, I'm not even using my degree. I'm in a field completely different being a self taught Video Editor. So, don't downplay yourself if you haven't been to college. If you thirst for knowledge outside of the college system, that's even better. 👍

This guest, Ali, is so smart and relatable and informative, also I think I might be pansexual after hearing this, but married to a man. Congrats on 1 year!!!!!!!!

[@heathercook3905]

I’ve watched a lot of these. I love them. This is my first comment. Mal- I know many people with multiple degrees. People with multiple masters degrees who are far, far less insightful than you. Degrees show you went to a school and “earned a degree” it doesn’t measure how smart you are. You’re awesome in the way you interview people!

[@MadeItOutPodcast]

this is so sweet 🥹 thank you for commenting and for watching!!

[@mistyxx]

I’m trying so hard to be okay with my sexuality but after 22 years of being rejected and feeling security in the “idea” of dating men it’s so hard. I’ve hurt so many men lmaoo and I am finally feeling ready to move on from that phase (bc that’s the real phase). ANYWAYS this podcast is truly helping and ugh thank you.

[@smoothinfldr6994]

Congratulations on 1 year! The Twilight series is one I love watching during the fall. Kristen Stewart/Bella is 🔥 by the end of the series.

[@KayBassie]

6:22 awe Lil Mal😊 I love the shift in the format. Getting to know sum1 through these Game questions. Yeah, coming out shouldn't always be this traumatic thing. 16:10 "CEO vibes" Yeah come to think of it, Mal was a reckless 15 year old genius😂 Ali asking her mum if she was gay at age 11 is so relatable, well I didn't ask my mum (still not out to her yet), but at age 11 I def knew I was different, just didn't have a word for it. But from being obsessed watching Xena Warrior Princess and heavily shipping Gabrielle and Xena and having a crush on my BFF in Prep School... yeah the signs were there.

[@LaLaLaLaLa8237]

Congratulations, love this podcast!

[@SivayoganathanSooriyakumaran]

Great work and congratulations! The mainstream media hosts should look how you do these interviews! Excellent work Mal! Don’t dishearten by the election results! Keep your fight!

Love this episode 🩷

[@wouldbealex]

I truly respect all the whole gambit, the panocea, of our spectrum. I think it's beautiful. I am me, though. I am not attracted to other spectrums. I respect them. I love them. I am not them, though. Yes, it's called a spectrum for a reason. You should dig who you dig (yes, I almost 70s that...). I, personally -- commas for literary effect. "I'm more brown, but I'm white. I'm more green than I'm brown." I don't feel across the spectrum. I feel here, where I am. It has the closest label I could put to it. While your's is "pan," I'm not, and that's beautiful. You are uniquely you and magnificent. "I am more brown than yesterday. I'm more green and brown than yesterday. That's a blue circle around my irises." My eyes change color. "I'm more green than I'm brown than I was yesterday." Keep being you. Thank you.

Today, even though my 'red" state will go one way, I presume, I made sure I voted for humanity to not have to live with fear of losing their rights to live, love, marry and do family the way they would like to. This channel is so informative and uplifting. I needed this information many many years ago in far away South Africa.

Hello Sir, I Visited your KZbin channel and noticed it ranks lower than others. SEO seems to be lacking, though your content is fantastic. Wondering why your videos aren't attracting more views? One key factor is insufficient SEO (your videos' SEO score is 0/100%, that's why your video is not reaching out to the people and you do not have many subscribers, views, likes, watch time, and comments. I also noticed that your video thumbnail was good. If you'd like, I can assist you with improving it. I think your KZbin channel will make your dream come true.

[@sarahheim8391]

Happy anniversary. 🩷 Your podcast has brought me so much comfort and joy. I appreciate the work that you do. Thank you x a million.
