Life Uncut5 Nov 2024

Single Needs A Rebrand. Uncut with Elizabeth Gilbert. Eat, Pray, Love.

Elizabeth Gilbert is one of the most brilliant authors of our time. She authored ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ which sold over 12 million copies and was then turned into a movie starring Julia Roberts. She’s also written books like ‘Committed’, ‘Big Magic’ and ‘City of Girls’.

Elizabeth shares so many teachings around vulnerability, connectedness, living a life that is led by love, and now how to become ‘a relaxed woman, pushing back on the expectations of what society wants from you’.

Today we spoke about:

Being an award winning writer who wrote about men and was sympathetic to the male experience, until she wrote the number 1 ‘chick-lit’ book of our time. Funnily enough, the award nominations dried up.
The shared experience of having everything that we are meant to ‘want’ and feeling so deeply unhappy.
How Liz used to drain herself by giving her everything to relationships, and how free she now feels being emotionally autonomous
The facts about how marriage affects women: married women don’t live as long as single women, they’re more likely to report being depressed and anxious, they are more likely to have autoimmune conditions, more likely to be addicted to substances etc.
How all of our lives could be titled ‘not exactly what I had in mind’
The complexity of falling in love with someone knowing it will hurt other people that you care about
Learning about loss through grief
