Gilbert: My best friend in the world was a woman named rea elias. She and i had a 17 year long friendship that, by the last five, six years of it, had become so important to me she had become the most important person in my life. And then in two thousand 16 she was diagnosed with terminal pancreetic and liber cancer. Within weeks of that diagnosis, there was something about the jarring horror of that diagnosis that made him unable to not to see any more what he'd been not seeing for years. He left his marriage shortly after; spent 18 months with her before coming out as gay.
Elizabeth Gilbert is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Magic and Eat, Pray, Love, City of Girls and other awesome books. She’s also just a straight-up genuine, wise, deeply-feeling human with a lens on life that is incredibly kind and real. Since her last appearance on the podcast, Liz’s life has been turned upside-down and back again. She has navigated profound awakening, unbelievable love, loss, transition, reclamation and, along the way, continues the practice of finding her way back into the light. That’s a skillset and a lens we could all use right now. We explore all of this, in detail, in today’s deeply honest and powerful conversation. So excited to share this Best Of conversation.
