If you haven’t heard of Elizabeth Smart, she was kidnapped by complete strangers at the age of 14 and held captive for 9 months. She endured nearly every terrible thing you can imagine.
Today, Elizabeth is a NYT best-selling author and has dedicated her life to bringing empowerment to survivors and awareness to these crimes.
On this episode, we discuss the biggest lessons she’s learned about forgiveness, her definition of hope, the importance of owning your story, and the biggest lesson she learned from her captors.

It's really awesome that she acknowledges how many survivors don't have family to turn to. That's been my biggest struggle in life - I never had someone to turn to.
You asked some great questions. I'll never forget when I heard her story in the news, I was just a girl, a bit younger than her and it was so upsetting. Love seeing the woman she has become through her adversity.
Same, I was 11 and I had her missing poster hung up on my wall. Her story has stuck with me forever.
Elizabeth you shine radiance. You are incredible.
She has so a calming voice 😍
She went through fire, but her heart was not burned. Thanks for sharing this story. 🙌
You gave her some tough questions. And she handled them so well. What a great interview.
Very thoughtful questions. Good Job Lewis and well done Elizabeth. She answered them all like a queen.
"Forgiveness is the greatest expression of self-love" ..love that!
Amazing,brave lady
27:00 This thought sounded very important
And when you'd taken her book her face changed Very vulnerable
She is Great. I wish her to have even more power, peace and joy🌹🌹🌹🌞
31:03 it got really awkward, but she handled that question gracefully.
Lewis when ever you have hope the fear follows. It's like our two legs one follows the other. One needs to think deeply to understand this. If you have hope you are inviting fear. So the best thing to do is put the right thinking into the problem on hand and work on it. The best work you do move you to a better place, that is my take. Thank you. Best wishes
I love how sensitive you are to realize when it's time to end an interview.
I completely agree with her on porn. It's far more dangerous than people understand, especially to women and children.
for man too!
Was just about to comment the same exact thing! I've seen it change people. So sad and NEEDS to be taken more serious!
Wow, powerful story from powerful women, thank you so much lewis you're the best, I'm addicted to you're podcast.
This is incredible resilience
Thank you Elizabeth, Lewis.
Some of those question made me think about the, "places angels fear to tread!"
This was one of your most engaging interviews to date Lewis.
I admire her courage and bravery and I am glad she is doing better. Thank you for this interview.
You are a hero you dt let your pain get the best of you but you get the best of it to find courage to forgive to believe and to move on it takes a strong powerful brave person to do that and you are that person.
I would love to see more content on forgiveness like this. Elizabeth is truly a profile in courage.
I love you, Lewis!!
Engaging interview and Elizabeth, you are simply inspiring.
Really enjoyed how this conversation evolved. Very interesting.
Wow.. Lewis.. thank you for this interview. This was incredible to hear her testimony of events and how it affected her. You were really introspective and thoughtful but really cut to the heart of the truth of where she really stood. Some of her answers surprised me. Thank you again for all you do.
You are super awesome Lewis... thank you for the interaction that you have with your peeps... there are many who don't engage... you do and it's wonderful!
Wow, what an amazing human being
Love you both , thank you very much
I love her new book I’m
On chapter five
14:08 great question!
I have a question for Elizabeth:
I love how you and past speakers have been able to see your experiences as a gift, so that you can now reach out and help others. My question is how do you move past your own pain to deal with the stories and experiences of others and be able to lift them up instead of falling into the darkness? I want to use my own traumatic experiences to help others, but the darkness comes everytime I think about it.
Horrible story! But such an inspirational strong woman! Thanks for this!
a good interview really depends on the interviewer rather than the guest. everyone can give interesting answers when asked the right questions. you, lewis, asked the right questions 😉
Some people are too far gone. If they don’t truly feel bad about what they’ve done I think it’s because there is no good conscience there unfortunately and they just don’t care.
This is such a phenomenally powerful interview. Thank you for such thoughtful questions and for sharing this amazing content.
You decide who you are , tomorrow another day , I’m sure if you path is different than this you will never be who you are today and who you are today is so great great great you are goddess you are angel if I can be who you are today even if I have to take the path that worst than this I will still want to be you ^^ love you
You've become a GREAT interviewer... these questions were surprising, you led the interview really well ...and the sound is better :)
I am grateful where the human moment of forgiveness is directly challenged here...where its explored mankind runs the gamut of sin ( any manner human against human, even self that threathens separation from love) can any sinner , can even the wicked be redeemed?
Enjoying the Love mural behind your guests. Insightful interview with Elizabeth. You asked great questions that made me think.
you asked hard questions and necessary ones! As people of faith, hope is available not only for the victims but for the abusers too. It's hard to live with the consequences of abuse. I appreciate her sharing her story and working to help others. She's an amazing woman and there are no easy answers. 💕💕💕
Excellent questions. This is a very thought provoking interview. Thank you for sharing this.
Can Lewis Howes interview Lewis Howes? ¨cuz that will be awesome!
Such a tough and beautiful interview Lewis. Good job Lewis.
The question about hope for past victimizers was is really important. It's a complicated question, and I was really surprised you spent some time digging into it. I don't think many interviewers would do that.
This was a hard interview to listen to, but as always amazing job Lewis! 💕👏🙏🏻
Lewis, if you want to talk unmasking masculinity??? Terry Crews!!! That's your guy. wow wow wow!!!
