What people say about workshops & speaking


Angela,

Your talk was beautiful, engaging, and deeply moving. You have such grounded, authentic presence—it felt honest, real, and incredibly healing to witness.

Your style is so authentic, yet inspiring and uplifting. The balance is rare.

Your message landed strongly: Self-love throughh powerful message, self votes! Love it.

There were so many inspiring takeaways, but what I loved most was your authenticity—so grounded, so real, and so impactful.

Your voice, your story, and your presence are a gift.

Thank you for sharing it, You're going to help so many people.

Angela brings her lived experience through trauma in a way that is engaging and relatable to many others. She provides tools and resources to help people identify and deal with their trauma. Believe it or not, we ALL have it whether we know it or not. 

She's insightful and engaging as a speaker and holds space in a room where this topic can sometimes trigger people. She brings her expertise from a corporate world, a business woman, mother, sister and empath. 

I would highly recommend one to one coaching with Ange or having her speak at corporate events. You and your guests will thank her for it.

Angela Malakai has the most beautiful heart.

She's raw, real, engaging, and healing. Her voice is so calm and has such a powerful message. I was so deeply moved by not only the story but the way she is able to articulate and put into words such deep and complicated emotions.

Thank you for being honest and sharing your gift!

I had the privilege of attending a Women's Wellness event where Angela was the main Speaker and facilitator. She brought a rare mix of authenticity, depth, and humour. She has a natural ability to connect with people, creating a space where I felt comfortable and challenged in the best way.

This event was not only insightful but also incredibly engaging - practical, real and delivered in a way that sticks with you. You can tell Angela genuinely cares about the impact she is making.

I highly recommend Angela for any MC or Speaking engagements.

Angela's speech felt deeply persona — perfectly attuned to my wavelength. It was a beautiful exploration of self-love, of truly honouring oneself with both grace and truth.

She spoke of time not as something to chase, but something to cherish... and of truth as a quiet, unwavering compass. Her apple analogy was particularly striking—a gentle yet powerful reminder that the love we consume shapes the life we experience. Positive love nourishes. Negative love depletes.

What stayed with me most was her invitation to "own tour space"—to stand fully in who you are without apology. And her phase, "small votes," a poetic reflection on what we choose to carry and what we must release.

Because ultimately, the world becomes your reflection. And life... should be lived in an overflow of love.

With her question about love languages right at the start, Angela had me hooked.

The personal story she share, spoke to me and the importance of the self love rang true. Angela was engaging and I went home ready to put self love into practice.

That was such a powerful story of loss and triumph.

Thank you for sharing and encouraging all of us. At any given moment any of us could find ourselves in such a situation.

A comfort, a challenge, a wake up call, a call to be accountable, tools to be powerful, all in just 5 hours!

Attended the Women's Empowerment workshop with Angela Malakai.

I learnt so much about myself as a woman, in my life, in my power and to lean into where I can improve. Angela has a unique ability to challenge you in a judgement free space through humor and authentic teaching. I loved every minute of this workshop!!! If you have an opportunity to do this workshop in the future, I strongly encourage you to register.

Sorita McGrane


One of the best things that I have ever done work with Ange.

Angela has played a pivotal role in my healing journey and I can hand on heart say that my life has transformed. I was timid, depressed and had zero confidence. I am a different person now. I am happy, confident, and at peace and now understand trauma. Talking to Angela and working with her was life changing!
