I accept the invite for Liz Gilbert chat!

I’ve actually never read (nor seen) Eat, Pray, Love, BUT I recently started reading the top-half of her Letters from Love series here on Substack because the rest is behind a paywall and I thought I might find them some but I just adore them? And even her videos from her fancy house in NYC or all the places she travels, which again, I would think I would sorta hate, I find actually grounded and speak directly to my heart? I’m happily baffled by it. Do you ever read her Substack posts?

Hey Katie-- I did not know she had a Substack! I will check it out based on what you said here. I loved Eat, Pray, Love when it came out, then when I tried to read it again about three years ago I had a totally different take on it and was pretty turned off by it. Then recently I read an interview with her in Oldster Magazine and she said she had gotten sober and hadn't been in a relationship in a number of years and felt better than she had in a long time. That made me feel like maybe I could engage with her stuff again bc it had become very obvious to me she had relationship addiction issues she wasn't dealing with
