- Brace yourself for a TRULY powerful episode with the bestselling author and creative genius, Elizabeth Gilbert. Although best known for her memoir Eat, Pray, Love--which went on to sell over 12 million copies and became a film staring Julia Roberts-she’s also one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world… The whole world. Spend some time with her in your ears on today’s podcast and you’ll know why in under a minute...
In this episode, we cover
* How Liz considers mental health her full time job, and writing / being a professional creator is a hobby.
* How the only way out of pain is through honesty. Liz shares her experiences working through the loss of her partner to cancer. The things we won’t even admit to ourselves will cause us pain, even to the point of mental and physical breakdown
* Her latest INCREDIBLE novel called City of Girls (…a "delicious novel of glamour, sex, and adventure, about a young woman discovering that you don’t have to be a good girl to be a good person”)
* Why mercy is the foundation to any creative endeavor.
How creativity and writing can be a tool to slow the mind during hard times.
* And lots more. Liz is seriously remarkable - a force of nature that you’re going to love…
Can’t wait for you to dig in. Enjoy!

I’m soooo grateful she brought up the fact that “mental health is [her] full-time job”. That she has to save her life every day. I feel like this and have felt so alone in it. Now I feel less alone 💛💛💛
Same.
That's what speaking and living your truth does, I guess. 🙂
I love ❤
Looks like there at least 57 of you as of today 😊
Every day. Stay you stay strong!! ✿
What she describes is reparenting the inner child by being an unconditionally loving parent 🙏🙏🙏
She always makes me cry. I can't listen to any of her interviews without having to pause, reflect, have a good cry and regroup. And I love how he does interviews. I love this channel. 💙
Daena de Guzman AMen sis 🥺
I’m the same way, i don’t know how she does it but I’m so grateful that she does. Even with big magic. Every time I read it I cry, sometimes at the same spots for the same reasons, some are the same spots different reason and some are new parts for totally different reason. She is a beautiful soul and I happy to be alive while she is alive?
“What are the words I’ve always wanted someone to say to me, and then I say them to myself”. I needed this Love story told to me today.
Oh damn 💯 that's good
I'm 32, and both of my parents have passed, so in addition to my normal cluelessness, I have very few "elders" who "get me" as a woman, a creative person, and a spiritual being experiencing cycles of womanhood and life. Liz speaks to me... Maybe it's her cancerian nature ;) , but I feel so nourished by her wisdom
I feel you my love. I have struggled with similar themes my entire life. You're not alone 💜being a high sensitive intuitive being with creative gifts comes with its own set of struggles. But our kind come with some beautiful rewarding gifts that can truly transform the world when used in service of humanity.sending you so much love xxx😘
Me too!! ❤ As a hypersensitive cancerian, i feel our sensitivity can be a gift )
"You have to give up the life that you planned to have the life that's waiting for you"✨✨
You have to give up the life that other people/parents/family plan for you.
Never live for the crowd or you won't be able to hear your own thoughts
over the cacophony of opinions ✨✨
chills chills chills. I am so in love with her light and wisdom xoxo
I hate this quote because it makes me feel like I'm not in control of my own destiny.
*My counterpoint maybe an influence of Neo from The Matrix.
@@charmedprince Lol 😂 but you/we are. Only if focus within. It’s ‘perception’ that controls the mind. And nothing is in control. Controlling people try to control others because they are fearful, insecure.
"Taking care of my mental health is a full time job" ❤️❤️💯💯
Elizabeth Gilbert is an absolute genius and functions on such an elevated spiritual frequency. Her voice has expanded my universe that much larger ❤️.
She has relationship struggles and portrays herself as some expert guru (all about her), you’re getting scammed buying her advice. See a therapist for better advice.
This was mind blowing and soul opening yet soothing like a warm cup of mint tea. Thank you both for being so open and honest. It's a huge gift you're sharing.
Totally agree!
- "You're not doing anybody any favors by holding this in, if there's something that you know about yourself that if, an intimate person in your life knew, they would change their whole life, they should know. The sooner you tell them that, the sooner that they have agency over their life again to figure out what they need to do now."
This has impacted me tremendously deep, I been struggling with my sexuality for my entire life and now I'm finally in a healthy relationship, now I know that is my responsibility to say the truth to my mother, for me and for her.
Man, you're such a great interviewer
RIGHT?? He actually let's her talk. Refreshing!

Love says to me, "I got you. I will be there till the end. I am here to comfort you."
Shes so goddamn beautiful
I appreciate her so much
This interview for me is like a mind blowing, wow how loving yourself can be that important.
You described it like a knife in a cheese, so simple and straight to the heart.
Thank you Elizabeth for your truthful authentic experience and of course to you Chase :)
Love this. Thx for tuning in! ❤️
Never seen this show before. But I love Liz and this talk truly felt so honest. Thank you so much for doing this. I needed to hear all of it. Perfect timing 🙏🏼
Yay, glad you found this. And welcome!
Hey Chase thank you for such a great interview!
Is there anything more inspiring than the bravery of facing weakness, yet continuing on? Thank you Chase for curating such compelling company.
I'm undone by this ... it was SO on point with what I needed to hear right now in the midst of my most delicate instance of completing my current project and releasing it to those who will now package it. I LOVE her brilliance, and truth, and wisdom, and insight ... my heart is full. Thank you for this ... Truly life changing ... I'M RIGHT HERE !!!
Thx Kimberly. Beautifully said. ❤️
@@ChaseJarvis Thank you SO very much ... it pierced my heart
The "Best Humans in the World" are the humans right in front of you. All people deserve your time, respect and understanding.
Elizabeth, thank you for your incredible bravery, your incredible honesty, and your ability to share what you’ve learned from the experiences you’ve gone through in such an intelligent, Articulate and realistic way. You are so incredibly inspiring. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Be "1% more curious than your fear."
What a juicy CJLive nugget! ♡
Being yourself is the best thing in business when you are showing what you really are people get easily attracted to you.
so true.
Yep and in the end it's the only person you can be if you want to stay sane.
Love it 💙 love how you dissected the various stuff about creativity. I always enjoy it whenever Liz shares her idea on writting and how she merges both the technical and the mystical stuff.
Am I willing to be that person that's capable of attracting a friend like Elizabeth in my life? Can I be that friend?
So much love for this woman 🙏🏻
City of Girls got me crying, wondering, questioning and admiring. Have you ever cried reading a description of a dress? I did. And I don't even like shopping.
If you haven't read it, please please do pick it up. It's sexy, colourful, bald, full of love and compassion.
Love her. And she inspires me every time, even in time of coronavirus. Always.
Such a special interview! Thank you. I had huge internal shifts just watching it...xx
You're just the most amazing interviewer! The way you led the conversation to very meaningful answers was powerful. Thank you both for the shared wisdom
your videos are amazing and gives me inspiration to be a better person and artist! never clicked on a video so fast : )
Liz is an incredible human. Glad you were able to catch the episode!
You're amazing Elezabeth G. And your confessions touch the hearts of so many. Totally relate to sooo much you say. Infact I have always used poetry to put down my thoughts. Never thought they were good enough to share until lately when my family as nd friends insisted i post them on Instagram. And....once again people have related to my words if not my effort 😅
Wish you lots of love peace and success always 🙏😘💞
Now I am a HUGE Eat Pray Love fan, it was SO important for me to read another woman saying she didn't want children...but fans..get to 'The Signature of All Things' too. Alma Whittaker is an inspiration!
I randomly found Signature of All Things at Goodwill last year. It's the only thing I've read by Elizabeth Gilbert and I am so thankful for her giving Alma to the world.
Elizabeth Gilbert has done the hard work, during her year in Eat Pray Love, she confronted the physical, spiritual and ultimately her own humaness. Like the host said, she gives out "power pellets". There is no ground you are standing on, and the terrifying moment you realize your life is about parental drama you inherited and need to discard...then who are you? This is the journey of life. A must listen to!!! Thank you!!!💖🙋♀️
Her writing and talk influnced me to try to learn about myself and not to give up at the time I had to give up and I could find some answers and I am stil trying to find answers and keep questioning.....she is my soul savior
I come back to this interview over and over for many years now. When you were talking about feeling pain not sharing something that helped you and the sensation of "what if it helps somebody else" when I share it, you were right. It does help! This is me being helped over and over by your sharing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Liz and Chase! You participated here in the creation of a truly timeless piece.
What a wonderful conversation! Liz is so down-to-earth and brilliant at the same time! Enjoyed every moment of this.
Yes - Truth-telling to be free is the practice. Just love. Thank you for your heartfelt conversation. City of Girls is my next book of summer reading, this was the pre-taste I needed.
And I loved the way Elizabeth described being mercyful.
Love her so much 💕 Such an amazing woman...
one of the most impactful Liz G interviews I’ve ever heard. I just love this woman. thank you!
It's so much better than interview with Oprah in June 2019 - for me. Thank you, Chase!
just yes and yes. Loved it.
Thank you, Chase, for sharing such a powerful interview. Taking a deep breath with all the creatives. We got this. And then we don't. But we are not alone.
It was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you ❤️ Greetings from Portugal.
Portugal por aqui 😁
V G, People pleaser is really a people manipulator. Thank you from same and for clarifying, so true .
grace can take you further than the hustle. Wow, i think i knew this all along but i just got it, just now. Really hits hard.
The beauty of women, who have come of age, are speaking the truth. I just listened to Joni Mitchell's interview, and this one, and Joni, resonate, with such love for the process of being courageous, with all the heart, and sass.
I’ve watched this maybe 20 times now?! Thank you so much 🙏 it’s brought me a lot of comfort and wisdom when I needed it 😊
This is a most AWESOME interview 🙏🏼
Thank you
From the darkest-and lightest pits and crevices of my ♥️
Great interview! That 'painting bicycles' story was great too! Good advice for writers block. Go do something else... for multiple weeks lol
Elizabeth is the most amazing, independent, honest beautiful person who is my idol & inspiration I just bought this book and reading it right now. When I watch these videos and interviews with her it brings me back to ME and reminds me that I need to stop letting emotions that I feel for others like relationships gets the best of me some times and I need to be stronger and there's always room to grow and you can never stop growing and how I don't need anyone but ME. I'm also a writer and wrote half of my book and stopped now I'm starting again on a completely higher spiritual level. She inspires me to let myself soul be seen and free myself from the image of body because I am not body I'm a spiritual being having a human experience in a body that does not define what's inside ❤ much love I thank God for sending such a strong inspirational soul to save so many woman and all beings.
I love Elizabeth Gilbert
Who the fuck clicks dislike on a video like this. Are people nuts?
Thank you so much for the interview. Relaxed woman is my goal, peace, beauty, harmony...
Taking a deep breath every 3 minutes.
breathe in. breathe out. 😌
ooohhhh..... I am so in love! Thank you! I've been squirrelly, and now, I walk on, feeling so grateful. I've been painting bears all summer, and doing cartoon, and making paper airplanes --so nice to join the crowd. or crows...
It is so rude that the interviewer has his foot almost in her face. Man be gentle and keep your feet to yourself. :P
Do it again, do it again, do it again until we became honesty.
Minute 36... a surprisingly Catholic answer. How refreshing on her part. Mercy indeed is the basis for all relationships. We all just do the best we can and God is merciful in all He does.
Julian of Norwich (14th century Mystic) wrote extensively about God's mercy (love) being absolute--in all cases, about everything, everthing. (See Mirabai Starr's translation of "Julian of Norwich The Showings" [2022]. Also previously copyright of 2013 gives title as "The Showings of Julian of Norwich.").
This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thank you both.
Absolutely loved this conversation (especially being a fellow Cancerian).
There is a thread of calm between us, because I love you.
I cannot tell you how long I've been waiting for this conversation! Brilliant! Thank you😊❤
Unfortunately in our world as our ecosystems breakdown so does the lost of large numbers of indigenous people who would be the mots relaxed peoples on the planet.
Also many poor people in undeveloped countries who have access to food , clean water and shelter they are also very relaxed.
They are not concerned or worried about the rat race. They understand that they have the most important things and money should not have to buy those things. This is why so many wealthy people are unhappy. Money cant't buy happiness or love.
Thanks so much!!! I truly enjoyed this video! I love that she uses the words creativity, grace and mercy. I loved Eat, Pray and Love and I myself have found myself on a journey and have decided to write my 1st book and don't have unreasonable expectations but have intention and love that I don't have to worry about being perfect and it being a best seller. I am also inspired about Liz's talking about fear and sharing her courage as I am stepping out of that even more so because of her sharing, sometimes I watch one of her video's before stepping out in courage and I am able to do it without fear of failure but instead a big "hell yea" for the fear of not doing something and wishing I did in fear that if I don't someone else will and I would only have myself to be pissed at. Thanks Liz and Chase!!!
THAT WAS A WONDERFUL INTERVIEW. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HOSTING IT. THANK YOU !
True jems! Beautiful conversation thank you 🙏
Her « love » voice is the voice of a good mom. When I’ll have children, I’ll do my best to say and embody those statements.

“The truth has legs.”
Thank you very much for this interview!!!
I Love Elizabeth G...and this interview is wonderful...so insightful, helpful , I agree wholeheartedly about speaking one's truth, and working to BE oneself.....it is a "process". I LOVE her "wordsmithing" she's so GOOD at describing how life feels, and how to gently challenge oneself
And here I thought her only real claim to fame was her book, Eat Pray Love and Oprah interview (which is huge in itself). Almost 30 years here sober with 12 steps, I found this interview very powerful. I look forward to hearing more of her stuff.
I love that Chase says: is it a book “just about sexuality?”Something only a guy could say. There’s no such thing as a book “just about sexuality” if it’s about a woman exploring her sexuality.
How utterly refreshing to see this formidable interview not only for its impressiveness in content!
I have watched it before and was deeply touched. This time around I realize how much the exquisite simplicity of the set and it being in black and white actually heightens this experience.
♥🙏♥
PS Clive James is Australian.
I listen to this at least once a week. Needed.
Same.
This is such an inspiring and insightful interview with Elizabeth :) I'm taking these words into all my future relationships "if there's paint to be had, let's just do it now..." WOW, this is truly empowering. Thanks for this awesome interview Chase.
Great interview - as always - So many wise nuggets, love it! Even power washing to get unstuck creatively! Thanks Chase, and thanks for being honest and inspirational!
ty
22:48 wow just when she was talking about when her body would break down when she’s not living in integrity the sirens start to get louder!
She's a guru
The joy (for me) is in making all the little improvements along the way, and watching it take on increasingly better form
this is such a beautiful interview! So inspiring! It got me out of a slump, thank you so much!
Hi, i saw that ovie more than 5 times and read the book at least 3. It's what we always want- to live live. So gratefull Gilbert and to your criativity and way of thinking most of all.
love Elizabeth so much. Her honesty is just out of this world. The host though???🤨
I love when she said how many relaxed women you kn. ?
I could use the sidewalk in front of my house power-washed.
I have watched this video more than once and when starts talking about mental health I can’t help but weep ❤❤❤
At 57 i am at the ah fuck it stage. Ladies it is amazing. The strange thing is i am finding it is easier to be kinder. Very much still a work in progress.
So comforting to hear you are an empath too, Liz. And that you also understand and experience the challenges of life with so much intensity. The Truth will set us free. What a heartfelt interview. Much love and thanks to you both. 🙏 💛
Elizabeth can clean out my closets and organize my kitchen any time.

loved Elizabeth as usual...the truth WILL set us free...really appreciated, needed and loved hearing about real definition of people pleasing---right on!! THANK YOU!!

She is literally glowing! Beam of light.

She has got a beautiful personality and tons of talent
Just finished the book. Love you Liz 🍷
wow!. WOW! I'm impressed.
Such a powerful talk I am glad I came back to today. I am moved to tears. I can so relate to all of this. Such beautiful wisdom there is in learning to love ourselves.
she's talking about THE virus in july 2019?
Nor that virus but a more sinister one. Stress. She was saying how stress is a huge virus
