This week, Sarah Grynberg is joined by one of the world’s most beloved authors, Elizabeth Gilbert. Known for her bestselling books Eat, Pray, Love and Big Magic, Elizabeth has become a beacon of wisdom on love, creativity, and the courage to live an authentic life. Her work resonates deeply with millions, offering a masterclass in vulnerability, resilience, and the magic inherent in the human experience.

In this intimate and transformative conversation, Elizabeth opens up about some of the most pivotal moments of her life, she candidly discusses the profound grief and healing process following the loss of her lover and best friend, Rayya Elias, and how that journey reshaped her understanding of love and connection. They also explore the rock bottoms she has faced, including the dissolution of her marriage, and how those moments of despair became catalysts for self-discovery and renewal.
