Made It Out

This week, Mal sits down with Survivor legend and recent author Parvati Shallow. We dive into how being born into a commune made her “good at suffering”  and how it became her secret weapon in the game of Survivor. Parvati also opens up about her journey of coming out - the fears, freedom, and the joy of choosing authenticity. It’s a conversation about resilience and learning to thrive in the spaces that once tried to confine you. ⁠Follow the guest ⁠⁠@parvatishallow,⁠⁠ follow the channel @madeitout and follow Mal @malglowenke Order Parvati's book: https://parvatishallowbook.com Thanks to this episode’s sponsors! -Mint Mobile: Get our new customer offer and a 3-month Unlimited wireless plan for just $15 a month at https://mintmobile.com/made [https://mintmobile.com/made]   -Paired: Head to https://www.paired.com/MADE [https://www.paired.com/MADE] and download the #1 app for couples to start maintaining your lasting love today. 👉 Subscribe, like & comment to support queer content!
