  • Episode 4 - Adeena Gerding
    Jul 10 2025

    You don’t need a plan. Just curiosity for life and a willingness to see things differently.


    In this episode of Handsome Soul Stories, I’m joined by the luminous Adeena Gerding — writer, traveler, and creative soul I met in Portugal during one of those unexpected, serendipitous chapters.


    We talk about:

    • Adeena’s spontaneous journey and what led her there
    • The behind-the-scenes truth of her second book
    • How to actually complete the book inside you
    • Getting your book into bookshops (without selling your soul)
      … and all the beautiful mess in between 🚲⛵️


    A little note: The sound’s not the best (we recorded on the move!) — but we made it work, and the conversation is full of heart.


    Follow Adeena and her projects:

    • First We Ate Your Wife
    • Unemployment Looks Better With a Tan
    • Adventure Therapy Portugal
