I adore and admire Marie Forleo. She is the epitome of personal branding, yes.  But she’s living authentically – without apology.  And she brings a lot of wonderful things to the world.  I love that.  She interviews people who do similar things too – those who pioneer new ways of thinking and doing.  I regularly watch her videos and am both inspired and moved.  This particular video is no exception.

You might know Elizabeth Gilbert as the writer of Eat Pray Love – but she’s written many other books, of course.  And this latest one is something special.  It’s fiction.  But it’s a wonderful journey of overcoming adversity we created ourselves. We can come back from that.  As Marie would say, “Everything is Figureoutable”

I really appreciate that message.  There’s also some pretty profound discussion about the difference between depression and grief here.  All in all, it’s a wonderful discussion between two friends that we, the audience, get to witness.  And a great many truth bombs are dropped.

I think you’ll really enjoy watching.  And then, I think you’ll really enjoy reading the book.  But honestly – to me – the more interesting thing here is listening to Elizabeth Gilbert talk through her process – not just in writing a book, but in life.  We could all learn a lot from her.
