Looks like she kept reading notes,

Honest, authentic talk! We get lost by needing to be sympathized on the cost of not being fully authentic.

this was a great find. and I love that neither of you talked over the guest. It was a calm and enjoyable interview. So I subscribed.

Laura Byrne? They look too similar to me. Sorry!

sh!ts funny as hell, her describing how emancipating her „profession“ is, while not realising that she is doomed for life😂😂😂

I totally dont get it.

OMG I agree wholeheartedly with Elizabeth. I was lonelier in my 25 year marriage than I have ever been in the 25 years since. Single hood is the greatest gift I have ever given myself. Love my solo life, the freedom is heaven to me.

This is such an educative topic , thank you for discussing and sharing it 👏🏻

Ok

My doctor prescribed Eat Pray Love for me during a toxic relationship 16 years ago. That book is now part of my reality in life. Living single on an island living my most beautiful life. Thank you. ❤

I became singe by choice six years ago. For the first time in my life, I stopped looking for someone to be with forever. I am DONE. I still love men, but don't need someone to be happy.

Such an inspiration to adolescent girls around the world.. 🤮

me going straight to google to search angela white gonzo scenes lol

After my lifelong best friend passed 6 years ago… he was so present the first few years, and like Liz… I’ve felt him less and less. Oh how I understand what she means…

Oh how I fall in love with her over and over again every time I see her… I can replay the same interview and it still happens.

The Chubby girl chiming in at the end thinks logically. The other karens dont.

Disagree. When somebody is so extreme like Trump it’s a question of a big gap in fundamental values. Core values gotta match

Love this. Relate men can also feel the same. Run for the hills!

Makeup is not the enemy hair is not the enemy. Marriage is not the enemy. Children are not the enemy. Loss of a sense of self is the problem.

Loved this! So smart, well said, and so relatable ❤️

Lmao dump him cause he supoorts trump. Lol women are delusional and emotional

There are 345.4 million people in american and less than 700K get abortions annually. Of those 700K, 1% get late term abortions. Why are republicans and democrats even focusing on this issue? Less than 10K people a year??? Millions are homeless in American. Millions are in poverty. More people don't have access to water around the world than are homeless in America. Both sides are incredibly privledged to be fighting over such trivial issues.

Yes dump him.

Liz’s honesty is wonderful 🥰

That was such a powerful and wonderful conversation. Liz Gilbert talks about difficult subjects with so much grace and humour. The interviewers also asked excellent questions, including several that I had would have liked to ask about Liz's life which I had been curious about, especially how she navigated the more challenging chapters of death and divorce. I've taken away so much from this episode. Thank you. Also, Committed is a very excellent book. You'd think an analysis about marriage would be rather dry, but it was a riveting read which left me that much wiser on the subject.

This is fascist af

Ahhhh, far beyond _Eat, Pray, Love,_ comes _Big Magic,_ a book I read every 3 months. Ms. Gilbert speaks to my heart (as she does to so many others'). Marriage, 3 amazing kids, then divorce... to love, live, and marry (once legal), to a woman, who, 25 years in, transitioned FtM. By 32 years, I finally admitted my inability to reconcile my lesbianism and am sola now. Yes, also shaved head (for a couple of decades now) and 405 lbs., 2.5 years ago, made the choice to live. I started GLP-1s and am now healthy beyond any dream I ever had. Every obesity-related illness has vanished and I have lost 260 lbs. People never asked if I was going to start dating at 400 lbs., but I get that question all the time now. "F*CK NO!" is my answer. I have my life the way I have created it. I am ALIVE, almost for the first time in my life. Now I have created a world where my kids and grandkids are the orbit around which I gleefully flow. Besides my own. I live for _me._ I NEVER have to ask permission of anyone anymore. The idea of dating or being married again is abhorrant... and it's weird saying that out loud... but it is what it is. Thank you, Ms. Gilbert, for all you give all of us... and mostly, what you have generously given me.

I can SO relate to the questioner. I also battle to sleep with my snoring partner. I want seperate beds. I LOVE this episode! Separate houses sounds divine too! We need to hear mlre of this. I would maybe even be more affectionate if I got a good night's sleep. When I am grumpy from him snoring im less affectionate.

Marriage itself is built on conditions. In terms of materialism, it's a way to get ahead (usually for men) but in terms of your mental, emotional and spiritual health, it generally isn't beneficial since it's based on conditions, which is the opposite of genuine love since authentic love is ultimately unconditional.

Two things 1st - Trump hate is so 2016 and is so tiring now. Yeah we get it he’s this and that but 70 million people voted for him so the people have spoken. News organisations and content creators deep down love him as he gets the clicks and engagement online regardless of “how bad” her is. The world didn’t end last time he was in and it won’t this time. 2nd - We have become so tribal now with everything it’s pathetic. I know most of it comes from the online echo chambers but it needs to change. I read somewhere that humans communicate 50% of time online where 95% of the communication is negative. That’s the problem not Trump. Lastly with politics the frustrating thing for me is that it’s the crazy fringes of both sides that gets the media. Why? Because it gets the clicks and engagement. The result is that every progressive is painted as a blue haired activist that’s obsessed with gender politics and every conservative is painted as a far right extremist who is racist and sexist. The majority of people are moderate voters with common sense views. End of rant

17:34 it's interestin' 'cause I think the original line in the stage show is, "I would do anything for you, Miss Glinda." Do you think the original line or the one in the movie is worse optics-wise?

Jane Goodall has never worn make up. Ever. ;) I quit wearing makeup at 36, when I became a teacher. This year, I shave all my hair off, too, for the second time, ever. :) I was married 3 times and did not want to be alone. Now, I am not dating two years now, and I am blissfully happy with my two rescue dogs and my dream home in Sedona. My 5th grade girls were right; Boys are stupid. ;) Girl Power!! :)

I’m a parent. Social media is not positive in any way for kids. Banning it for them is a good thing. Kids barely know how to socialize without the internet anymore. They are being damaged horribly by it. Teens don’t even know how to walk up and make friends organically anymore. It’s got to change.

So so enjoyed this, she is so relatable to me as a 62 year old woman.

Seriously! Hate on trump is just tiring at this point. Also how’s abortion a woman’s right ?? This is crazy ! Abortion is killing a life ! And mostly women are coerced by their partners to get the abortion done ( mostly when men don’t want to take responsibility)

The patriarchy’s nightmare 😂

Maybe the girl who drowned actually was in that chair.

In the UK, Smart phones are now banned in most schools. A ban on under 13's to 16's is being talked about, because weak parents won't say NO to their children. And OFCOM, as been tasked with cracking down on social media output. Instagram & TikToK are the platforms most likely to be hit hardest. Instagram's algorithm pushed self harm content to one 14 year old who killed herself.

You can have differing views but you have to agree on core things. If you say water is wet & they say its dry, there is no base to build on & the divide will just grow. You cant change everyone. Whem people show you who they are, believe them the first time

Oooh I reckon maybe 15, OR perhaps a different function for under 16s, like maybe comments are disabled, and the ability to share posts to someone’s DMs (for example insta) so people can’t spread things and bully that way. Some sort of boundaries so that they are still connected but the streams and functions in which bullying can take place are prevented. And Snapchat is a massive problem. I’m 26 and when Snapchat was the big issue in high school. So much bullying! There’s a big culture here with Aussie young teens and socials. It’s so concerning! Thanks for discussing! 🩷

Lovely podcast, full of rawness, juice and meaning to me… That ‘most embarrassing’ story though at the beginning: as mortifying as it would’ve been for Elizabeth back then, -when she told it, I had a moment of: ‘I get it. It’s as if she wanted to invite that missing friend who’d died, into that party, make a space for it, make it still be a part of life. It takes time, at least for me, to fully grasp on all levels that a person has died, -in many cases even years or forever. There might be that initial period of shock and not comprehending that this person isn’t here anymore. So when Elizabeth reserved an empty chair for her, to me it sounded like a token of respect to this departed woman, an attempt to still somehow include her into that gathering of friends….. I don’t know, that’s just me, that’s how I felt about this story instinctually…. No one at that party was ready to accept the fact that there was death right in their midst, let alone anybody being ready to fully address it. Elizabeth did in some way, and in her own way. Not just trying to be funny, but also calling things out by ‘their name’…. Respect from me 🫶

alot of social media platforms are really toxic for young people

Thank you so much for this episode. I love your energy Elisabeth, you exude authenticity and joy of living. And you look great with your hair shaved! I hope one day to have the courage to do that, too!!You girls are lovely also, greetings from Spain and whishing you all the best!🙏💕🌷

Honestly watched this with a friend after listening to the pod this morning. This was one of the best episodes so far for some much needed self reflection. This format sinks in so much more than listening to it whilst half distracted doing something else. Being present and watching the whole thing is really impactful. Love it 🙌

Hi from Canada 😊Liz is always, always an inspiration. Thank you that was an excellent podcast.

I absolutely love the story about that death joke. That's the kinda thing that I would say.

People don’t care about cheating if it’s men. 🤷🏼‍♂️

„Last couple of years“ is crazy. 🫠

I started saying my husband died and people leave it all alone it's like they need to know that you're suffering like them and they never have their own opinions it's always their husband's opinion or they complain about their husband and you can't agree or you're the bad guy

OMG, exactly my experience even down to the shaved head! Loving myself has eliminated codependency & toxic relationships. Happily solo independent introvert at 72.
