Elizabeth Gilbert: The Art of Being Yourself

[@sophia.ciocca]

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 💛💛💛

[@runningrigert]

Same.

[@upamarai8878]

That's what speaking and living your truth does, I guess. 🙂

[@dimplesharmalyngdoh628]

I love ❤

[@gigiatlas2364]

Looks like there at least 57 of you as of today 😊

[@jicasso9848]

Every day. Stay you stay strong!! ✿

[@CharlotteLeguy]

What she describes is reparenting the inner child by being an unconditionally loving parent 🙏🙏🙏

[@gb4375]

“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.

[@realtorcarlyoptionone6474]

Oh damn 💯 that's good

[@katanaheart]

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. 💙

[@PAILINCOY]

Daena de Guzman AMen sis 🥺

[@LifeAsIHoneIt]

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?

[@MarsTV_Cartoons]

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 ✨✨

[@GeorgiexoxoTV]

chills chills chills. I am so in love with her light and wisdom xoxo

[@charmedprince]

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.

[@Dani-ix9cl]

@@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.

[@faelien_ink]

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

[@J.Moyine]

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😘

[@Ophyd]

Me too!! ❤ As a hypersensitive cancerian, i feel our sensitivity can be a gift )

[@tracilebo3]

"Taking care of my mental health is a full time job" ❤️❤️💯💯

[@azzamotara-abraham2910]

Elizabeth Gilbert is an absolute genius and functions on such an elevated spiritual frequency. Her voice has expanded my universe that much larger ❤️.

[@DMalltheway]

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.

[@burton7767]

- "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.

[@japandata]

[@FlowerUruguay]

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!

[@susanjones4904]

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!!!💖🙋‍♀️

[@keitha.neubert3063]

Be "1% more curious than your fear." What a juicy CJLive nugget! ♡

[@melaniealtinakisova]

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.

[@Barrrt]

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.

[@Pjkaa]

Totally agree!

[@surabhiverma3095]

Love says to me, "I got you. I will be there till the end. I am here to comfort you."

[@staceywi2288]

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

[@JennySansouci]

one of the most impactful Liz G interviews I’ve ever heard. I just love this woman. thank you!

[@rinavarley954]

Is there anything more inspiring than the bravery of facing weakness, yet continuing on? Thank you Chase for curating such compelling company.

[@PapiyoneVineland]

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.

[@KimberlyCatoTransformed]

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 !!!

[@ChaseJarvis]

Thx Kimberly. Beautifully said. ❤️

[@KimberlyCatoTransformed]

@@ChaseJarvis Thank you SO very much ... it pierced my heart

[@ShaneHummus]

Being yourself is the best thing in business when you are showing what you really are people get easily attracted to you.

[@ChaseJarvis]

so true.

[@mattwanders2704]

Yep and in the end it's the only person you can be if you want to stay sane.

[@realradiant1r69]

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.

[@mahamo92]

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 :)

[@ChaseJarvis]

Love this. Thx for tuning in! ❤️

[@lisakruger86]

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 🙏🏼

[@ChaseJarvis]

Yay, glad you found this. And welcome!

[@soniakjones]

Love this conversation. There is so much in truth telling… Liz’s comments on …If there’s something you know about yourself that your intimate partner doesn’t know and if they did they’d change their own life, they deserve agency over their own life’ this is how I felt after my now ex husband told me he was bisexual, by him claiming it had no impact on our marriage just made it worse as I chose his kids as mine, I chose not to have my own kids for us… I deserved to know this when I was making the biggest decision of a woman’s life. It’s been a big healing journey since then and now I chose my art, to pour everything I have into it and to grow a creative community around me, my version of family. Just speak your truth… my fave saying during that time was Heal your own wounds so you don’t bleed over those who did not cut you … Thank you Liz Gilbert and Chase Jarvis… love your belief that creativity matters :) 🙏

[@suzannerose2130]

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.

[@bolikilelik]

Love her. And she inspires me every time, even in time of coronavirus. Always.

[@DC083]

This is the best thing I've watched in such a long time. She is amazing.

[@ChaseJarvis]

100% agree. the way she manages her mindset really made an impact on me.

[@bolikilelik]

It's so much better than interview with Oprah in June 2019 - for me. Thank you, Chase!

[@Jenny-bf4ss]

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.

[@y.kunoichi9007]

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

[@aklitmark]

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.

[@aklitmark]

And I loved the way Elizabeth described being mercyful.

[@LuciaDeGiovanni]

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.

[@TamarChante]

What a wonderful conversation! Liz is so down-to-earth and brilliant at the same time! Enjoyed every moment of this.

[@sharonericson4125]

Elizabeth Gilbert thank you so much for this talk!!! I so appreciate the chance to listen to you online. I love your demeanor, your approach to so much. As a fellow female artist, it's great to feel seen as you share your honest look at self. Ah, breath. 😊

[@zehrhayader-_-6762]

[@vajolinda]

RIGHT?? He actually let's her talk. Refreshing!

[@MaryFrances72]

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!

[@karinabarbee8049]

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.

[@ladywood855]

For real!!! Alma is a “real” person to me & I proclaim regularly that it’s the absolute best book I’ll ever read. It’s my comfort food/bible❤️ Was really cool to see someone else who feels the same way. 😁

[@eugeneaniar7232]

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.

[@authorgirl93]

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...

[@mattwanders2704]

Hey Chase thank you for such a great interview!

[@bec.des3]

Shes so goddamn beautiful I appreciate her so much

[@dianehall5345]

Dynamic interview. Liz's partner was her corner stone. I am older and have experienced a LOT of living. My only corner stone was my maternal grandmother. She was in my life into my 30s. When she died, the sobbing and dreams almost did me in. Listening to Liz, I realize now that my grandmother imprinted into my soul and DNA since my birth. She taught me to be myself,which is no easy thing, according to this interview. And no one else has ever seen the real me and loved me regardless. I consider myself lucky to have ONE person like that in a lifetime. Her compassion was my saving. And I am a highly creative person, art wise/journalism wise...

[@dianehall5345]

Thank you Angelica. My grandmother taught me the old, rural 1935 New Hampshire ways and to strive for a kind heart. I live and teach her lifestyle to this day. So she is with me always.

[@nancyg323]

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.

[@celesteburley4035]

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.").

[@brynagallagher2304]

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.

[@nanmcculloch4477]

LOVED City Girls! The connection intricate, natural& organic. True to human nature and revealing to be human. I loved it. The solace in intimacy w oneself and another. And it took me to another world which is so imaginable because we've all experienced theater...but not lived it as these characters engulf. Then the stupidity of youth, the impermanence of the perfect and the death of life. Thank you Elizebeth for you're empathic, compassionate, individualistic, self awareness that connects all consciousness and makes us whole.

[@AnnaMishel]

The joy (for me) is in making all the little improvements along the way, and watching it take on increasingly better form

[@beepollin1780]

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

[@TheZGALa]

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.

[@mollypinto4666]

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 🙏😘💞

[@StaceyRenee8]

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!!!

[@TheCelestialhealer]

Thank you so much for the interview. Relaxed woman is my goal, peace, beauty, harmony...

[@nanpeterson35]

Wow! Listening for the first time and reflecting on how much harder it has been for me to even discern truth in the middle of a pandemic, this election, and so much more. There is so much here to draw strength from.

[@omjulie]

i dismissed E

[@kaivenfenton]

Wow, I'm 83 now and I discovered the same things you did by talking to that Love part within. It doesn't matter what that voice is and I don't need to know. I say the exact same things and IT brought me all the way home to my Truth. What I don't have that you do, is friends and people who love you. I don't know how to get those things so I live alone with only the Love I know I am...However I KNOW it is human nature to want to be connected to others, but I am too rare and different, in a good way. I have been trying to write my memoir for 30 years with no support or help from anyone, hence it is still not published.

[@elwiewallin7657]

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. ♥🙏♥

[@jeannecresse2879]

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!

[@IevaKambarovaite]

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.

[@markcunningham3891]
