Late to the party but I am so inspired by this convo!!!
Excellent talk, thank you all! I wonder, in the interests of accessibility and afore-discussed diversity-are there plans to add captions or subtitles to this video?
You can currently switch on closed captions with TH-cam, but I’ll ask BWF if they intend to subtitle an additional video! 👍
@@danielleb1743 Great, thanks Danielle! For some reason, the auto closed caption button was greyed out for me when I watched, but seems to be available now. Good to have that option!
Thank you Danielle, Zoe, Kate and Anna! This touched on the big questions I had surrounding the YA genre. Your discussion about the New Adult genre was so helpful.
What a great interview.
this is the first interview with kirli I've seen!!! i deeply enjoyed this. thank you for sharing kirli 💖💞

Deadly sis!
Screw the 70s no wonder everything went to shit
So appropriate of the chair Matt Foley to begin and end the session with poetry by Aboriginal Oodgeroo Noonuccal. Many secondary schoolteachers introduced her concepts of injustice to young people and helped to create empathy. Empathy, combined with political action, creates change - as the speakers all eloquently demonstrated.
I love everything that she says except for what she says abt plastic surgery. In south korea, teenage girls as young as 12, 13 get plastic surgery as graduation gifts. I teach kids at an academy and only one of them didnt get it because she was born with natural double eyelids. It's sad.
Incredible to listen to - as always 💗🦋
Hope to hear your voice in Calm someday :)
Love her
Marvelous and soul nourishing. I surrendered entirely to the greater force when I reached a blank wall and the proverbial Question about, what next. I had absolutely no clue but an abundance of unconditional faith that whatever the next chapter, it was going to be great and a worthwhile part of the ongoing journey of life.
Such incredible work, courage, gentle listening. Always Was Always will be...... Baawaa you are awesome, inspiring and so strong. As are your people now and always. ax
Heart-breaking, beautifully narrated, and ultimately hopeful. Everyone must read 'Apeirogon' - this is how the imagination allows us to reach out to the other, without judgement, and with the courage to heal the oldest wounds, even those that bring war, hatred and destruction.
Brilliant discussion on the power of story.
She is soooo simple and intelligent, easy going, pleasure to listen to and learn
Love you Liz. Wise, inspiring, amazing. ❤️❤️
Liz is my writing and life idol and she never fails. Never. I love her take on life. Such an authentic soul.
Hi is this on podcast at all
This talk has just inspired me to go out and dance. Alone. I a 50 year old maverick, and have done my own thing ALL my life. However, this prompt to just keep on doing what I do is so appreciated. I didnt realize quite how cool you were until today Liz. Thank you so very much!!! Go girls!!!! .....dont apologize, compromise or flounder. Live! xxxx
I don't agree at all to the point of that Facebook article and you have to a job and it doesn't matter if you hate it, love it, like it, etc! You spend so much time of your life at a job and time is a constant. You can't revert it back. So not only go after a job but after one you love. Not always possible but keep going for it!!!
“It doesn’t benefit you at any stage to practice self abuse in any way... any voice that speaks to you with cruelty is not your highest self”. Absolutely! I will remind myself of that every day.
“If you’re somebody who gages herself on how well you’re doing compared to a former version of herself, that’s a disaster”. Thank you Elizabeth, I really needed to hear this. You are my spirit guide incarnate. Years ago somebody told me not to compare myself to other people, and that it was only fair to compare myself to myself and see how far I’ve come. But instead of doing that, I was comparing myself to former versions of myself when I was in a different place in my life, and I would compare myself to that and want to get back that. I really needed to hear this today. I wrote it down in my journal and I will take it into my soul. Thank you.
I hate when people say. I started living the way I was meant to be living. Everything you did before that moment was just as important as the way you are living now. It was all prep work.
Great interview! Elizabeth Gilbert is amazing! I feel my own creativity stir inside of me when I listen to her! LOVE!
Adore the interviewer. So refreshingly smart. Elizabeth is wise every time she opens her mouth!
Naked thighs again. What's wrong with Australian women?)) In a good way
Elizabeth IS wonderful♥, indeed the woman who interviews her isn't capable of doing this great : it does not let Elizabeth stop though (but indeed, she is not the right person for beautiful talks)
Vce
Legit
what an interesting video! The content and speaker were great to listen too.
Love her so much and great interview
Wow! She is amazing!!!!
Interviewer is really annoying. Not connecting with what Liz is saying. Interrupting at all the wrong places. Asking disconnected questions from whatever the thing on her lap. Asking Superficial questions, speaking (& laughing ) in uneven, high pitched annoying tone. Hurts my ears. Torture!!! She should never.ever be allowed to interview anyone again.
i LOVE THIS WOMAN.
That thing about wasting your energy is just gold. She's like a guru <3
She's not like a guru. She IS THE guru!
i don't know how to put in words how much this woman is helpful to me in this particular phase of my life.Love her.
I hope you are happy now, angel
Same - like a guiding light. So much love for her x
She is.... I have no words either... I think I understand exactly how u feel
If you want to read Elizabeth's facebook post on hobby, job,career, vocation. It was posted on Jan 13, and is titled Question of the day: What are you doing with your life.
Tugeyla- from negative comments about living there? Do u live in canberra? Elizabeth mentions these type of comments in this video
Thanks about the Canberra comment Elizabeth. I lived in Canberra for many years and have friends and brother there. Always having to defend the place.
+Vicki Crossley Might sound odd, but I like the sound of the name Canberra and always thought I'd like to visit there just based on that.
