My guest today, Elizabeth Gilbert, is the number one New Yorker's best-selling author

of Deep Pray Love, Big Magic, City of Girls, and a whole bunch of other awesome books.

She is also just a straight-up, cool, genuine, wise, deeply-feeling human being with a lens

on life that is incredibly kind and real since her last appearance on the podcast.

Liz's life has gone in a lot of different directions.

In fact, it's been turned upside down and back again.

She's navigated, profound, awakening, unbelievable love, loss, transition, reclamation, and along

the way, really continues this practice of finding her way back into the light of reimagining

what this life is really all about and then committing herself wholeheartedly without

judgment or expectation or really concerned about what other people think to stepping into

the way that she wants to be in the world.

That is a skill set and a lens that 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 with you.

I'm Jonathan Fields and this is Good Life Project.

For the seventh year on the Code Switch Podcast, conversations about race and identity go

way beyond the day's headlines.

Because we know what's part of every person is part of every story.

We're bringing that perspective with new episodes every week.
