I love how Megan is connected to herself! The way she can express herself is impressive.

[@TinkerKell6]

She seems very spiritual. I really like her

[@Alexismarie1322]

Idk how she does that isn’t called spiritual and how do you connect to your spiritual self?

[@wildone106]

I wish she was as good at acting!

[@brandymariee]

The most refreshing thing about Drew is that she genuinely LEARNS and appreciates the different points of views from her guests. So often, hosts try to be the "know all" and leave their personal experiences out of it. Drew so beautifully balances centering the speaker, engaging with them, and connecting with their experiences.

[@macmcc3201]

Awsome 😂😂😂😂😂

[@fifilafleur5555]

You mean like Oprah??? She’s a “know all” type. It’s so annoying.

What she said about the desire to fall in love making her hurt people that she didn’t actually love is so true!

[@MeganFox-hx5yu]

Thanks for you comment xx ❤

[@ceterisparibus8966]

What does that mean, though?

[@JeannetteTetrault]

​​​@@ceterisparibus8966 It means you want the experience & feeling of falling in love more than you want to actually be & stay in love so you go around love bombing new partners & being their everything theyve ever dreamed of just to get that beginning of the relationship new love feeling & they ACTUALLY fall for you & start picturing forever & once you have them hook line & SUNK its not fun for you anymore so you up & leave for what feels like no reason out of the blue & leave someone broken hearted & confused for god knows how long

[@barbararommy]

I love the way Drew is so supportive

[@actownsend7288]

I do too although I must admit I was a little surprised when I read the headline here.

Drew is so wise. We’re the same age, why do I feel like she’s a grownup and I’m not?

[@pacesetterbyyou]

Give me a break. Like look at her she's beautiful rich had men falling all over her all money can buy. Sorry there is nothing to feel sorry for here .there's people dying in a war overseas. Just an over indulged poor me celebrity who needs to get a grip,!

[@paris3331]

Exactly

[@prik4727]

Profound what Megan said - that it's not about blaming our parents, they were doing the best they could but it was our subjective perception and the need to re-parent ourselves.

[@richieharkness5535]

Hardly profound! 😂 Simply the conclusion we all come to with age and experience!

[@Dontrolling]

Most people’s issues start with their family and parents not surprising but not to many openly address it or admit it to themselves

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

@@richieharkness5535 Not everyone is able to reach these conclusions and alter their behaviour accordingly. I know people in their 50's who still don't understand how the way they behave effects others, and still blame the people around them as if it's not them that has issues it's everyone else.

[@richieharkness5535]

@@gatekeeperboxing5898 Yes, you're right. That is true. I know some people also now you come to mention it.

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

@@Dontrolling It's so true, my Dad was never abusive to me physically and was often supportive when it came to financial help, but he was always very dismissive of anything I saw as an achievement that I was proud of as a kid, he would always bring up examples of adults who did the same thing alot better.

[@cooki3monstrrr]

I LOVE this interview. The way they're holding hands the whole time to comfort one another is so heartwarming. I know Drew is always affectionate, but it's nice to see it welcomed & reciprocated

[@alexialira3839]

Megan was uncomfortable.

[@randominoh]

Yeah that was a forced Oprah move

We’re not all comforted by affectionate gestures from random acquaintances. Megan looks uncomfortable and pressured to perform the reciprocation.

I really appreciated this conversation. It was brave of them to share so much. I’m happy to hear the work Megan has done. Much respect to her.

[@tih6317]

Drew seems so much more authentic/ ~real~ than anybody I've ever met! How that happened growing up in Hollywood is astounding! She's a breath of fresh air and the world would be so much more beautiful if there were more people like her in it!

[@marinaciol]

"I percieve her to be..." Mega has done some real serious hard work - well done. Hope she shares more = as we do not all have $$$ to access therapy experts like she has - and the wisdom is muchly appreciated.

[@Bunny11344]

You can do the work too the info is out there you just have to put in all the hard work yourself plus it’s not easy finding the right therapist. You don’t need to be rich to heal you just need to put in the effort

[@valshiro515]

You don't need money to get therapy. All you need is a brain and free KZbin access. It's all available online.

[@AK-pq7wb]

Yo get a library card. You can learn all the real self help stuff from just a few classic books that have stood the test of time. Like check out Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations and everything he has to say about how everything that affects you is just your perception and how you’ve chosen to react. You can change your perception and choose to not react and to not take everything others do as a personal attack. It’s really that simple. There’s not some secret stash of life hints, tips, and tricks that only the rich and famous have access to. You can access all the same information. You can educate yourself the same as people with advanced degrees in psychology. It’s just that a lot of people find it incredibly uncomfortable dealing with themselves and thus avoid it entirely. We’re all constantly lying to ourselves much more than we ever lie to other people. The hardest part is acknowledging all those lies and finally facing your real self.

[@peggyC22]

Omg hearing back what you feel and think you’re alone is so eery

[@eloisety1392]

I love Megan. I love her wit, her maturity, her honesty, her "idgaf about what the world tells me" kind of attitude, and I love how she used all her trauma to become a stronger and better version of herself instead of being the weak woman men and society have always tagged us with. Thank you for that Megan. Keep slaying for us..

[@Charlton2010]

That’s right, blame the men as always 🤷🤦‍♂️

[@alexialira3839]

What does a whole gender have to do with Megan saying she chooses to have whirlwind relationships because her mother chose a crazy dude to be the stepfather of her kids so now she emulates what she saw at her house growing up? No one is calling women weak. 🙄

[@RielEyes]

I feel this. My husband is exactly like my dad in so many ways, some of the best ways and some of the bad. I am attracted to that I think because I lost my dad at 19 before knowing myself or what I really wanted. It took years to find my husband and the men I dated before were like my mother. Toxic with addictions and vindictive, would lash out. I am blessed now to know my worth and found my way with my husband! I took changed the cycle in my family with having my two babies!! ❤

I was born in 74'. The first time I saw Drew was in the movie ET. When I was eight she was the most beautiful person I had ever seen and my childhood dream was to marry Drew. However, not all childhood dreams come true but forty-one years later she is still the most beautiful person ever.

ET, we were about the same age when she was in that movie (I might be a little younger) and had the biggest crush on her lol She connects with her guests on a deeper level. Megan looks gorgeous with that hair and those butterflies...I love eccentricities that make us all different. Megan is really connecting with her inner self in big ways.

[@aaronwimberleymbamsf5776]

I love her unabashed freedom to emote. The fact that she is creating infinite ideas through her poetry and poetics shows the true essence of creativity. The ability to rage against the dying light and actively seek rights for the wrongs as a poet shows her intellectual prowess. I haven't read her poetry but I would imagine that it is in line with the original rule-breaker and line-crosser Rumi, "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase ‘each other’ doesn’t make any sense. As a fan of Borges, "The Aleph"- pure bliss is finding the infinite in the basement of our dwelling=]
