  • LisaRLee
    More please!
    I’ve lived off of this series for weeks now and have finished listening to the last one! Elizabeth’s amazing kindness and generosity of spirit shines through so brightly, and I call it “Healthy content for the heart and soul.”

    Lacks Diversity in Guest
    Power of show, but lacks perspective due to lack of racial diversity, ethnicity amongst guest.

    Big Magic changed my life
    I’ve listened to the Big Magic audiobook I couldn’t even count how many times. I have just discovered this podcast and am savoring every one. Thank you Liz!!! You’re amazing.

    Beautiful Poet Hope
    WOW Hope sounded WAY more confident and filled with joy after completing Liz’s assigned “homework” Hope.. your beautiful, articulate, colorful poem shook me to the core. Keep shining, I will pick up and experience anything you put out into the universe.
  • Niki_Lucy
    With gratitude!
    The only podcast I keep coming back to. I could listen to each episode 1000x over and still never get enough. Liz you are who I turn to when the light has dimmed in myself. Forever grateful.

    Invaluable
    I’m getting free coaching lessons each time I listen to an episode and I feel inspired, thankful and so filled with joy after each one. I’ve challenged myself to complete a few of the assignments Elizabeth gave to the aspiring artists. This podcast is a gift to those of us who need an encouraging word as we are lovingly pushed beyond our comfortable and difficult places. Thank you to Elizabeth, the courageous artists and lovely guests for sharing and being present. And using a few of Elizabeth’s favorite words, we’re grown-ups. Let’s put away childish ways of thinking and do the creative work that is in us to do. We’ll be okay.

    Kicking my fear away & inspiring me!
    Thank you SO much. I read your book and now I’m listening to you. I’ve been in a struggle with creating art for basically my whole life. I love it, I’m drawn to it, but I hate it and fear it. I’m constantly called to it, but I avoid it, and want it… Such complex feelings!!! Now I’m finding courage and a deeper understanding for what “I” want to create vs. what I’m good at creating or what others want me to create. I just really appreciate you as an author and also for being here on this podcast to support and encourage people like me.

    Best Podcast.
    I absolutely love this podcast and am so sad Elizabeth Gilbert stopped doing these, but they have been extremely therapeutic and encouraging in so many ways. It’s inspired me to finally do what’s been in my heart but I always come back when I need another nudge :) Liz, if you read these, please continue podcasting!!

    Men and still having compassion.
    I’m listening about the troll and Brene’s woman come to her defense, which fight of all I LOVE. But I always go back to the Buddhist belief of compassion first when someone has done us wrong. Men/women we are all humans. I’m a mother of boys, I’m doing my part to raise men to be equal humans with women. Those men were not ever taught to be human, only men. Let’s change our next generation to be one!! ❤️
  • abbie028
    Wish there were more episodes !

  • KellySWalden

  • Jen Zash/ Mindful Mama
    Thank you x infinity, In EVERY language & form
    Your podcast, your teachings, the Omega Institute, every offering I’ve received through you makes me so grateful to have had such opportunities, like as train stops along the path of light, at each location, I discovered a treasure chest filled with Golden Nuggets in the form of wisdom, strength, inspiration & friendship. Thank you beautiful soul. I am in service of you if I can ever do anything to support you. This review a small token of my gratitude to you! XO
  • K&J090918
    Yessssssss
    So glad I found this! So insightful and encouraging! Please bring more and more 🙌🏼
  • cindyanaj
    Anyone with a desire to create should listen
    This entire podcast is top notch, such a breath of fresh air for anyone who has creative pursuits in their sights. Please do another season Liz!
  • Hannahlys
    So good.
    All I can say is thank you, and more, please.
  • GVenables
    Inspiring
    I have enjoyed and learned and taken notes of pure inspiration from every episode I have listened to. Liz, can you do another season, please? I will submit an essay!
  • AnnPaq61
    Call your real life by it’s true name
    I loved this episode! You have so much wisdom to share and I appreciate you being so generous. You are a writer maker!
  • Dian BW
    Thankyou
    I wanted to listen to some creative love and being called into “seeing and hearing” as opposed to “being seen and heard”. And I got it.... The young poet Cecilia (interestingly the Patron Saint of Musicians) is a true gift. She faced her pain of rejection and in doing so, became a beacon of light to me, and I’m sure many others listening. Thankyou for being a stand in the wonder of no agreement and what’s possible. And your mentor poet, Marc Nepo was a breath of fresh and wise air
  • thanksforoversharing
    Refreshing, inspiring and real
    I loved listening to each episode and have re-listened to a few of them more than twice! (The Brene Brown episode and the Glennon Doyle ones are my favs!!) I have also shared this series and my two fav episodes with several people who all stated that they were helpful and eye opening for them!! Grateful for this work 💛🙏🏽💛
  • Elizabeth-Civil Graces Project
    Amazing and inspiring...
    I found this podcast as I was finishing my first book...I was so nervous about putting my ideas out in the world. Hearing Liz’s encouraging words helped me to bring my own heart forth to give birth to my book. It is like having that genius she describes in Big Magic call you forth to create your life’s work. ❤️Thank you, Liz!!
  • SpellboundYogi
    Useful podcast, but...
    I really want to listen to this podcast, but Elizabeth’s laughter after every sentence she says just kills it for me. I know it’s not a very constructive criticism, and I love her books, and I know she (and all of us) should laugh a lot more every day, but girl.... maybe it doesn’t sound very genuine?
  • sharoni820
    In love with her creativity and wisdom
    Omg i just started listening to Elizabeth and I didn’t realize how much I’ve been missing. Her message totally resonates and I love her wisdom, authenticity and generosity that shines through her message and her interviews. She’s amazing!
  • jessdeeejay
    Exactly what I needed
    Absolutely incredible. Here’s hoping you continue to produce more of this in the future!
  • pattieanne
    Tooo fast like speed talking
    Is there I way can turn this speed talk - love the content, but Eliz. Speaks like she is getting paid by how many words she can speak.
  • H. SLIN
    THANK YOU LIZ!

    Wealth of love
    Liz is a wealth of love and a river of knowledge. Her voice with regular folks as with her professional friends is unwavering and honest. So good you might not wanna listen while driving because you might want to write down all the amazing points she and her guests make!
  • Kamaluhia
    Can’t stop listening
    So good, her voice is calming, her message is peace. Liz is Jesus. Liz is God.

  • Sshah12345
    Real and inspiring
    If you dig Liz Gilbert’s interviews or books, you’ll love this.
  • TheatreArtsAdvo
    My favorite!
    Huge fan of all things Liz Gilbert! This podcast was inspiring and affirming. Really wish there would be more seasons.
  • BooneLady
    A gift to creative people everywhere.
    This was an incredible production, and I’m so grateful that Elizabeth chose to do two seasons. To have the before and after interviews for each person really shows both the obstacles to creativity, and troubleshooting for solutions. Elizabeth chose great guest mentors for each person, and she herself was the perfect blend of encouragement and tough love. These are worth re-listening!
  • Jandda2002
    It’s challenging to find the words.
    Elizabeth. My heart is warm. My spirit inspired and ignited and curious. Tears are selling up. I have so much gratitude in my whole body. My fingers can barely type these words. Thank you for your generosity, kindness, courage. I love your work.

  • CC412
    Absolutely gorgeous.
    I just love Liz Gilbert! Her voice is like smooth velvet, so rich and comforting. Please continue this podcast!!! Very insightful and motivating. 🙌
  • Moxie Mummy
    Life changing if you’re ready for it
    This podcast came into my life at the perfect time and seemed to smash my creative blocks to bits in a funny, authentic and powerful way. Maybe it’s not for everyone but maybe you’re not ready for it. Each episode was like a whisper in my ear, a tap on the shoulder or a smack on the head saying - this is for you so listen up. I’ve listened to several episodes multiple times over. I hope she restarts the series. And if not, thank you regardless for your generous, creative, inspiring spirit. I am grateful.
  • SuperTwinsDad
    I would run through hell or highwater to hear Elizabeth Gilbert!
    Elizabeth Gilbert is a big, hardworking genius who is not afraid to be vulnerable. I love this in her books and love this in her podcast. I spend a of time wondering what her MBTI and Enneagram types are. I am going to guess ENFJ and 4. In these dark times, the world needs more of Elizabeth Gilbert and of people like her!
  • luckygoodyoga
    Thank you
    Thank you Elizabeth for always being true to yourself and always speaking from the heart. Your podcast brings me so much joy. Cheers
