With her book #eatpraylove @elizabeth_gilbert_writer essentially wrote the manifesto for what to do when your life goes off the path you had expected it to go on. Here she talks about how her biggest mistake back then was thinking that she needed to stop going after one year. And that our lives don’t end in tidy happy ever after packages. We talked about her grief over the last year, in the wake of the death of her partner and best friend Rayya Elias, of how depression is often caused by blocking all feelings, about when grief feels like rage, how she deals with fear, what she thinks about #metoo, about female promiscuity, and her new book #cityofgirls which is about women and friendship, and how women can survive the consequences of their at times bad choices. This interview originally appeared in the Sunday Independent. Big big thank you to @cormac.kinsella for all your help setting this up #elizabethgilbert #podcast
