One hour is just not enough for Lynne Twist, we WANT MOOOOORE LYNNE!!

[@TeamForleo]

Thanks SO much for watching! It was such an honor to have Lynne on the show. Maybe there will be another opportunity to chat with her again soon. 💕- Jayleen, Team Forleo

[@agnemongesanchez1710]

If the global countries would be ruled by women like Lynne - there wouldn't be any war or hunger. Such an inspiring soul! Feeling beyond grateful to learn about Lynne and her work - thank you, Marie!!! ❤🙏🏻 I follow this channel for years, but this is the first time the conversation touched me so deeply. Sobbed the whole time 🥹 Thank you both for existing and living your dharma to the fullest ❤🙏🏻🪷 Be blessed!

[@JoanaSaahirah]

I cried my eyes out watching this episode. Cathartic and profound. Thank you, Marie, for bringing this special content to the world.

[@reneewallace8079]

Wow powerful words - we have moved from citizens to consumers. When you sit with this, it hits home.

[@unfeigned4997]

Wonderful episode! I love what she said about how you find your role on this earth and your passion. I found mine in Bulgaria’s orphanages and co-founded One Heart Bulgaria. Serving others is the way to happiness.

[@mackmorton13]

blown away by lynne! and clearly marie helped to create a container where everything lynne said could surface so beautifully. thank you, thank you.

[@TeamForleo]

Your share made our hearts grow bigger. Thank you so much for being here! 💖

[@MusicaErika]

Months later and I connected and cry with this beautiful, inspiring conversation thank you 🙏 Lynne Twist for the beautiful work you do , 🙏 Marie Forleo for sharing with us this conversation. ❤❤❤

[@TeamForleo]

Oh how this made our day, Erika. Thank you so much for being here and for sharing your heart and spirit with us. Sending you big love. ❤❤

[@margaretcampbell2681]

Yes when you take a stand for something larger than yourself something changes 😊

[@IzetteM]

One of the best podcasts I've ever listened to. Lynne is so amazing! I cried all the way with her. Thanks so much Marie

[@CyndiPerkins]

The enough-ness piece is huge - I loved all of Lynne's wisdom and the way she wove it into her stories, but for me, that idea of being enough, having enough, and doing enough is both comforting and inspiring. It will stay with me. I'm grateful!

[@donnabond]

Oh thank you Marie for this beautiful, uplifting, important message of Grace from Lynn. Deep gratitude.

[@Schwemlamabad]

This was a lot for me. My life is at rock bottom right now, struggling with so much and drowning in pathways and ideas to create myself a lifeline out, but this was the most helpful time spent to actually deal with some of the 'mess'. I feel like it was the missing link I needed to help me go from one area of work to another in my focus, and one that is coming all from me, rather than seeking to work for others. I really hope that the ideas and visions that came to me as listened to this will be the solutions i've been searching for, for the best of my life. They feel authentic and I am truly grateful for the effortless clarity I got from this, that runs so deep. Thank you Lynne and Marie x

[@TeamForleo]

[@carolynmaryscott]

Lynn is a force of nature. She is a stand for transforming our planet. Her work to save the Amazon is critically important.

[@NardaSays]

So beautiful! Just yesterday I got feeling is should read her first book and then I’m seeing this amazing and heart centered interview now! Now this is indeed a sign! 😃🎉✨

[@TeamForleo]

Totally a sign! How fantastic! - Monika, Team Forleo

[@NirmalaWisdomQueen]

When Lynne says Step up, I tear down. Playing a role in my life with my heart is one of the most incredible insights I’ve taken from the conversation. Now I must get up from bed and stop drinking too much wine.

[@mindful123]

unbounded spirited talk that only prescribes unleashing own potential and living purposeful a life. Appreciated both of you shaking my egoistic mind.

[@TeamForleo]

Thank you so much for being here, mindful 123. We're honored to have you with us. - Abby, Team Forleo

[@jimmathieu4194]

Thank you, I am grateful!

[@TeamForleo]

We're so grateful for you, Jim. 😊

[@danielleperron6304]

Woooooow! This is by far one of the most inspiring MarieTV episodes eeeeva! "What you appreciate, appreciates." This resonates deeply as it's such a simplistic and tangible way to shift the narrative and truly experience abudance, clarity, and gratitude in life. Thank you sooo much for this incredible episode; truly heartwarming xoxoxoxo

[@TeamForleo]

Hey Danielle! We're so glad you enjoyed this episode. We're truly honored you took the time to watch. It means the world to us. We appreciate you and we're sending lots of abundance your way 💗 - Monauar, Team Forleo

[@anamiguelhg]

This is GUIDING!!!thank you Marie! I've been terrible sick since 2019 with a rare autoimmune disease and that fact it has been also my major teacher

[@WellnessGardenToolShed]

I cried, too. What a beautiful soul. And Marie, you are an inspiration.

[@beckydaro8101]

I love what she said about the people in the jungle said it you are here just to help us then go because you are here for us to help you. I love that among so much of this conversation because lately probably for the last three years, but definitely in the last year I have felt and truly question how many different brands of bottled water do you/we need and I know this question is a metaphor for the real question; when is enough, enough? I imagine there is a lot we can learn from the peaceful, grateful, "Poorer" tribes. We don't need so much. Just as this conversation seemed to be about throughout in different levels. When is enough, enough?

[@emilytamayomaher]

Thank you so much. I'll listen to this again and again. Key take away: moving out of a consumer culture into a creative culture, that actually leads to meaning and fulfillment and a better life for others in life. Some of the most life-changing books I've ever read have been on this channel. Grabbing this book NOW.

[@robynpaulete4390]

THIS IS IT!!! Perhaps the best interview you've ever done. Thank you Marie, and thank you Lynne 🙏🏼

[@lorrainep6802]

I love the concept that we need to go from ‘you or me’ to ‘you and me’ in the world. It’s true - we need to bring our thoughts in line with that and be all inclusive in our thinking. There truly is enough for everyone.

[@NyeshaMcCauley]

If you hit the comments first and wondering if you should watch, this is your sign. WATCH this episode! Life affirming. Thanks, Marie, for bringing Lynne's voice forward.

[@TeamForleo]

Oh how we love this, Nyesha! Thank you so much for watching and for being you. 💖 - Abby, Team Forleo

[@anamiguelhg]

Huge Thank you Marie. The way you feel about Lynne a lot of us feel it about you. Thank you ❤❤❤

[@beckydaro8101]

THANK YOU!!! Thank You both!!! WOW!!!

[@user-sx6mv3jh2i]

Extra-ordinary - Thank you , Thankyou, Thank you two incredible women x x x

[@susanhagan642]

So many wonderful nuggets in the comments already. I'm also taking away the idea of Pachamama as earth, the sky, the universe, AND all time!! And the clarity that we don't get to prosperity through "more;" we get there through enoughness. My action step: to deliberately feel enoughness within, and receive the fullness of the moment already at hand.

[@TeamForleo]

"To deliberately feel enoughness within" is such a lovely and well-articulated takeaway, Susan. Thank you so much for watching and participating in the "wonderful nuggets" - add your share to that list! 🥰- Abby, Team Forleo

[@Pamuchos]

Omg 🥹 I don’t believe on coincidence, but I do believe on Godincidence and today was spectacularly one of those moments 🙌 (and its only 10am here!) powerfull mindfulness morning for me today and I wanted to thank you Marie ❤ I am a big fan of yours! Thank you for introducing me to your fabulous guest Lynne 🫶🙌👏 I didn’t know who she was until today, but boy oh boy! We are so compatible it’s insane! I will be reaching both of you on your email just to extend my gratitude for this podcast but I wanted you to know that I am from Guatemala and I recently embraced my purpose and I’ve been working on it for the last 5 months and it’s been crazy insane 💪 I knew my purpose but now I know my mission and that is to contribute 🥰🙌 thank you both spectacular powerful woman for this wonderful contribution to my heart ❤❤❤❤ God bless ya! Keep sharing!

[@lysveieninntilhjertet7446]

What a meaningful and such a beautiful conversation, one of the most beautiful I have ever heard. The story of Mother Theresa touched me a lot, and also her journey with the Shaman. But also her sentences; * What makes your heart sing? * We all have, in our uniqueness something that`s ours to bring, ours to do, to commit. * We are the instruments to play and we have a role to play, our OWN role. So great teachings, just bought her last book now, thank you both. 🥰🙏💞

[@TeamForleo]

These are such beautiful insights. Thanks so much for sharing. We're so glad you enjoyed this beautiful conversation with Lynne Twist. Her stories really are inspiring. 💖 - Jayleen, Team Forleo

[@lysveieninntilhjertet7446]

[@pattiebrown8639]

Most likely the most fascinating interview I've seen... thank you Lynne, thank you, Marie.🙏

[@TeamForleo]

We love hearing this, Pattie. So wonderful that this episode resonated so deeply with you. We're so glad you're here! - Abby, Team Forleo

[@sharonboyd8402]

What an incredible person, who happens to be a woman. YIPEE Marie it says a LOT of positiveness about you to have facilitated this interview.

[@brickandmortarvisibility]

oh my word. i've shared this episode with my dearest friends. SO good. #1. Mother Theresa - loving ALL people brought tears to my eyes. #2. Paying attention to the voices in your head, they determine everything (seriously needed the reminder) #3. The calling. Even if you've been doing something really well for a long time, there may come a time that there is another calling and you need to go toward it. Bawling moment for me. So so good. A saved episode that I will listen to and refer to often. Thank you!

[@TeamForleo]

We're SO glad you enjoyed it! We're honored you're sharing this episode with your friends. 💖- Jayleen, Team Forleo

[@suriyastahel6287]

What an honor to be an inspiration to someone who inspires you Marie! So happy for you 👏. Thank you both for showing up the way that you do. Makes me proud to be a B-Schooler and happy to keep going in the way that I can, and let the rest unfold by itself. I've definitely felt pulled to the idea of 'enoughness' for a long time now. We in the modern world, do have enough! Let's do something more interesting and meaningful with our lives.

[@TeamForleo]

We're honored you're a part of our B-School community, Suriya! And we're so glad you enjoyed this episode. It's such a wonderful reminder of the change we can make in the world. 💖 - Jayleen, Team Forleo

[@nothingimpossible3377]

Love listening to this inspiring woman.... God bless both of u 🙏

[@santiagocardoso8436]

One of my favorite interviews so far. Amazing!! Thanks Lynne and thanks Marie.

[@coralinehausenblas]

Thank you so much for such a moving and inspirational moment. Thank you Lynne to share with us all your precious teachings.

[@Courtney7171]

This episode reminded me of “The Secret” on CD that I listened to years ago. The author talked about focusing on how much you love everything you have and having gratitude for everything that you have that came about as a result of other people; like clean running water,for example or all the inventions that people came up with long before you were even born. Also things like the fact that women can now vote and being thankful for all the wonderful women whose efforts created that change, and all the other changes that we can choose to no longer take for granted. I decided after listening to that book to make a list of all the things that I am grateful for every day! (I’m grateful for you Marie and this video and I loved “Everything is Figureoutable”. I’m working on becoming more of an optimist like you!)

[@marialindbergh3926]

My biggest insight was the two questions: what breaks your heart and what makes your heart sing? Oh my god, just such a great, fantastic episode. I really needed this! Thank you, Lynne and Marie, for sharing thoughts and talents.❤

[@TeamForleo]

Seriously great insight, Maria.❤ We're so happy this episode spoke to you. -Grace, Team Forleo

[@kleahm1]

I loved listening to Lynne’s stories, especially the powerful lesson learned about bringing compassion to everyone. What a great interview!

[@carennawillmont3706]

I am committed to guiding leaders to be greater good stewards of money. Also the noise IS boring. Fun hearing that too.

[@carennawillmont3706]

@Marie Forleo sure.

[@kellieporterburks3871]

I also cried from Mother Teresa story until the end. This conversation felt shamanic and Lynn is an amazing story teller. For a long time I have been ignoring a quiet little voice inside that has been urging me to take a trip to visit an orphanage that I support in Peru. I heard it so loud during this interview and the next day I started to doubt the voice. As I'm walking a particular route to visit a friend - I look up to see a new sign that said Lima, Peru - a Peruvian restaurant that opened here! I live in Copenhagen so it is rare to see something like that. A sign, on a sign? TIme to make this "Figuroutable."

[@TeamForleo]

Hey Kellie! That definitely sounds like a sign ✨ Peru is calling to you. We're sending you tons of abundance and ease that you make it Peru safely 💗Please keep us posted on your journey! - Monauar, Team Forleo

[@salome10011]

Beautiful teachings. So moving, so necessary, and so simple - yet with complex tentacles. ❤

[@ljohnston108]

Hugely inspirational interview, thank you both. I will be journaling and listening for guidance... Also is there a way to listen to episodes without ads? It's jarring to go have so many ads interrupting such important content.

[@cyprianuslilikk.p.7937]

Three modern myths : 1. There is not enough 2. More is better 3. That just the way that it is.

[@blaiseaimee7098]

I can tell from Lynne's story of Mother Teresa (now Saint Mother Teresa!) that she is being called back to the One Holy and Apostolic church that Jesus Christ started - the Catholic church. "Catholic" means "Universal". Christ came for EVERYONE and his church is for everyone. So I can't agree with "Bucky" that even religion is set up with the "you or me" myth. The human part of the church, perhaps, but not the Divine church, which is still perfectly intact as Christ created it.
