This episode's a highly-requested collaboration with YouTuber/creator Rowena Tsai! Rowena has her own channel on self care and productivity, and also Beauty Within: a beauty & lifestyle channel celebrating inner beauty and wellness.

Aileen and Rowena explore Rowena's escape from a dark and lonely place as a teenager, similar journeys in creating content in the self love and personal development space, and honoring yourself by being vulnerable.

And a special twist: Rowena turns the interview around to ask Aileen questions about letting go of control as a creator with a team, responding to criticism online, and more!
