Late to the party but I am so inspired by this convo!!!
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
“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.
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
Great interview! Elizabeth Gilbert is amazing! I feel my own creativity stir inside of me when I listen to her! LOVE!
“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.
Liz is my writing and life idol and she never fails. Never. I love her take on life. Such an authentic soul.
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.
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.
That thing about wasting your energy is just gold. She's like a guru
She's not like a guru. She IS THE guru!
i LOVE THIS WOMAN.
Love you Liz. Wise, inspiring, amazing. ❤️❤️
She is soooo simple and intelligent, easy going, pleasure to listen to and learn
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.
what an interesting video! The content and speaker were great to listen too.
Love her so much and great interview
Adore the interviewer. So refreshingly smart. Elizabeth is wise every time she opens her mouth!
Incredible to listen to - as always 💗🦋
Wow! She is amazing!!!!
Love her
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.
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!!!
Tugeyla- from negative comments about living there? Do u live in canberra? Elizabeth mentions these type of comments in this video
Hi is this on podcast at all
Hope to hear your voice in Calm someday :)
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)

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.
Naked thighs again. What's wrong with Australian women?)) In a good way
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.
