My best friend Shauna and I met on the internet in 2001 over a shared love of crazy outfits and photo booths. 25 years later, we're living our dream: splitting time between New York and California in our 40s, building businesses, and finally living in the same city. This is our first (and possibly last!) primetime interview where nothing is off limits. Shauna asks me everything: the hardest lessons from my last relationship, what I wish I'd known before writing my first book, how I deal with migraines, my relationship with money, the worst business decisions, and why I'd tell my 25-year-old self not to bother dating! We also get into the fun stuff — what's always in my purse, my most chaotic habits, comfort movies, and why being a weirdo is actually a superpower when building your personal brand and finding your people. If you've ever wondered what it's really like to manifest your dream life, build a business with no backup plan, maintain a 20+ year friendship, or navigate your 40s as a creative entrepreneur... This is for you. *IN THIS VIDEO:* ✨ How my relationship with money has changed (and the Kabbalah lesson that shifted everything) ✨ Why some friendships have expiration dates and how to know when to let go ✨ The manifestation that still blows my mind ✨ What I struggle to accept about myself ✨ My advice for making friends in your 40s ✨ The personal style formula that keeps the male gaze diverted ✨ Why being an outsider is actually your biggest asset in business This is raw, real, and unfiltered, just two best friends in their pajamas talking about life, business, manifestation, and what it really takes to build the life you actually want. *TIMESTAMPS:* 00:36 What's something you do in relationships now that you never would have done 10 years ago? 1:30 What's the biggest way you've changed since we met in 2001? 2:47 What do people get wrong about you based on your Instagram? 3:33 What's your best tip for making friends? 5:41 What motivates you most in business? 6:34 How do you figure out what you want to create next? 7:54 What's the most Gala manifestation you've ever pulled off? 9:22 What's the worst business idea that I talked you out of? 9:36 What's been your hardest lesson in the last few years? 12:59 You've written four books, what do you wish you'd known before the first one? 14:42 What part of your personality did you have to embrace to get where you are? 16:42 What would you tell your 25 year old self? 17:29 How has your relationship to money changed? 19:55 What's in our fridge right now? 20:27 What's your most chaotic habit? 21:10 What do you struggle to accept about yourself? 22:27 What's the most outrageous thing you've ever done? 22:55 Describe your personal style in three words 24:15 What's always in your purse? 24:54 What celebrity are you most like? 25:17 What work would you do if not this? 25:58 What are your comfort shows and movies? 26:45 What's something that you're secretly really good at? --- *ABOUT GALA:* Hello gorgeous, I'm Gala Darling: manifestation teacher, EFT tapping expert, bestselling author, and your guide to outrageous living.
