Summary

Anita Moorjani, the author of Dying to Be Me and What If This Is Heaven?, takes us on a crazy ride through her near-death experience and spontaneous healing from cancer. Apart from that wild story, what’s most striking is how she learned to take autonomy over her health without shouldering self-blame or guilt. For Moorjani, the secret to striking this balance lay not in doing more—but in discovering how to be who she already was. In turn, GP answers a question on her own spirituality.

Hi guys, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. Welcome to the Goop podcast.

0:11.8

One Thursday of every month I'll be interviewing a culture changer. And every Thursday in

0:16.1

between, editors from our content team will be sitting down with a spate of proactive

0:20.1

thinkers and industry disruptors. Today's guest is Anita Morjani, the author of Dying

0:26.6

to Be Me and what if this is heaven? Her story is wild. After a four year battle with

0:32.4

end stage lymphoma, she had fallen into a coma in organ failure. Her mother and husband

0:37.9

said goodbye as she was not expected to live. She had a near death experience while in

0:43.3

the coma, which we'll let her tell you about. And when she woke up, she knew she had the

0:47.9

power to heal. Five weeks later, she left the hospital cancer-free. Anita sat down with

0:54.1

the lease-loon in the chief content officer here at Goop to talk about what she learned

0:58.4

about living after going to the other side. What I invite people to do is drop what is

1:04.1

not you and set yourself free. That is healing. There's so many mind-bending pieces to

1:11.0

Anita's story. For one, her spontaneous healing is medically documented. But what I think

1:16.6

is really striking is Anita's message about illness that we can take autonomy and responsibility

1:21.8

over our health without children any blame. After the conversation, I'll be doing a quick

1:27.3

round of asking me anything. If you've got a burning or totally random question you want

1:32.1

me to answer, hit us up at Goop on Instagram or Facebook.

1:36.9

Now let's get to a lease and her interview with Anita Morjani.

1:42.1

February the 2nd, 2006, should have been the last day of my life. On that day, doctors

1:49.1

told my family that I was dying. I was in a deep coma because I had end-stage lymphoma

1:56.8

and my organs were now shutting down. I'd been suffering from lymphoma for four years

2:03.6

and it had spread throughout my lymphatic system and it had moustasticized. So now I had
