Liz's stunning transparency and authenticity is powerful and revelatory. She says things most people would never say (even to themselves). Her vulnerability is soul stirring and rings to the core of what makes us human. Liz is full of light and darkness and humanity and brokenness. That is what is so compelling about her -- her no-holds-barred daring calls us all out of hiding. Women, especially have a need to look nice - which is soul destroying. Liz's spirit radiates from her foibles, her curses, her willingness to show herself without artifice... She is, in short, a gift to the world.
Thank you so much for sharing this very honest and open conversation. It's a long time ago since I read Eat, Pray, Love and saw the movie. Out of the movie I noted something I want to share with you: If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter old resentments, and set out on a truth seeking journey either externally or internally and if you are truly willing to regard that everything that happens to you on that journey is a clue and if you accept everyone that you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you
That was REALLY GOOD. I said a few weeks ago ...."I'm literally dying to be me"....and finally left a 10-year relationship where I was not being me and getting sicker by the day. So true that I was slowly dying.. And now I'm in the unknown. And coming back to life.
Oh "heck" I know a former friend ... that's going on 43 years in an insane "relationship" ? He's actually wished (her dead) verbally I've heard it multiple times. So... Mary 10 years is nothing ! little humor now !
@@plutoplatters there is nothing humorous about staying in a relationship that is not healthy. I don't care if it's 10 days, 10 months, 10 years, or longer.
@Kathryn Price It was the best thing I ever did with such unexpected results. My partner woke up and transformed right in front of my eyes. He needed to find out what life was like without me. What an amazing experience.
"I'm Back at Square one," said, Elizabeth . I said that to myself, last night! And, As much as I have read & heard from many on their paths, I am LISTENING, Now, to Elizabeth, and, I am loving it! "Not This!"... she says. As I am Weaving in & out of my old story, that I need someone else in my life to Complete me, make me whole & Happy! This video popped up in my stream. I have not read, "Eat, Love, Pray." But I intend to, because, where I am is, Eating what I love, Loving who I am, Praying for love to Heal us All. Thank you, both, for BEING, There.
This is absolutely “Earth school “… My time at the University of Santa Monica taught us exactly that! We each have our own curriculum, our own lessons that we wanted to learn before we came here, and that is what we’re here to do
This was amazing! Liz is phenomenal ❤ Martha Beck’s technique is similar to Integrative Family Systems Therapy. Speaking to your inner parts is powerful. Thank you for reminding me of this beautiful practice!
I found it very interesting , the part about caretaking being a furnace. I think Nurses can offer some insight on how caretaking... for people with brain tumors and dementia ... can be beautiful, life affirming.
Wisdom = heavily in touch with the unconscious/collective conscious, the realm of timeless non-locality. I have only ever exchanged two words with my brother-in-law in the 30 years I've known him. He asked me what I wanted my AOL account username to be, and I blurted out without thinking: "Adolf Hitler". It just came out automatically. I don't know why.
I don't want to sit with my loneliness!!! Wtf ladies I'm so lonely i could die... & I sit 24/7 alone ,no family or friends so this isn't for me.. i feel useless listening to you..😢😢
" Kind of" ALL of this existed since Caveman. It's just called life. When we hunted and gathered..... a LOT of this mind (screwing) never happened because we were busy with real activities .
Also cavemen (hunter-gatherers) only worked 3 hours a day. The rest of the time they chilled and socialized which helped their minds REST and process, live with others who are not as hostile/violent to each other as "civilized" people. Civilization is madness. - Freud

Every time I watch her interviewed, it’s like a master class in life.
I concur 💯

she is just exquisite. her radical honesty and tenderness towards the "i" makes space for the sacred us. love love love
Liz is a gift for me these days...
I could listen to her forever and ever...

@Kathryn Price We split for two months and during that time he had a big shift and I changed as well. Now we are amazing!

Elizabeth is such a beautiful soul 💙 Everytime I see her speak, a huge smile just lights up my face and warms my heart 🌿

I totally use with the nightmare of my mother’s passing and unfortunately I was still in Love Addiction at the time.
Amazing, this has saved me in an incredibly difficult moment ❤
I cannot imagine being "ill at ease" when alone. I can imagine being " ill at ease" when surrounded by a crowd of people.
Hi watching your show while being bedridden due to spinal injuries...
I found it very interesting , the part about caretaking being a furnace. I think Nurses can offer some insight on how caretaking... for people with brain tumors and dementia ... can be beautiful, life affirming.
Suffering is the guru! 🔔
Jim McLaren is a perfect example. And Liz is aways a pleasure to listen to.
Even though I have not met Elizabeth, we don't live too far from each other!
Wow Elizabeth Gilbert resurfaced…
Sadiey I'm dying to be loved .im extremely beautiful and lovely to others when I go out
involve healers...good healers, it can help.

Wisdom = very good memory and an analytical mind? So that you can collect all of those bizarre coincidences in your life.
Literallythe only person that was decent to me in the fame realm.

Elizabeth Gilbert need to listen more - she cuts Maria’s stories ….
😂😂😂
Gilbert is much too self absorbed for my taste. However, she is so funny and a brilliant writer.
Look through that please. She knows she is. She is wise, besides that weakness. Use and honor her wiseness.
