Listen Later

Episode 100.

Elizabeth Gilbert.

And my 31st birthday.

These are three things that are all happening today on The Lively Show, and I’m pinching myself to make sure this isn’t just a dream….

…. A lovely dream that I cannot wait to share with you!

Today we’re talking with worldwide bestselling author, Elizabeth Gilbert – of Big Magic, and Eat Pray Love fame – about a wide range of topics including creativity, the fetishization of passion, the magic of curiosity, and the importance of epic doses of self-compassion.

This episode is perfect for anyone looking to have a more compassionate + creative life, career, and relationship with themselves. 

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND OUT ABOUT

 

  • How Elizabeth’s childhood spent living on a farm contributed to her creativity.
  • Why Elizabeth doesn’t preach passion to others, and what she thinks is a better alternative to passion.
  • How she is repurposing and reclaiming the word “entitlement.”
  • Why Elizabeth believes people shouldn’t quit their day jobs in order to be creative.
  • Why she thinks service is not effective if you don’t love the work.
  • How Elizabeth is able to avoid martyrdom in her life and solve conflicts in a creative and playful way.
  • Why self compassion is essential for a joyful and beautiful life.
  • How Elizabeth distinguishes between the soul and the ego and how her soul has kept her going through rejection and scrutiny.
  • What she believes is the best way to help others.
  • How Elizabeth has come to understand and work with her psychological creative cycles.
  • What Elizabeth would tell someone just starting out on this journey.
