Eat Pray Love author Elizabeth Gilbert on addiction, loss, co-dependency, love, grief and rage.

Trish & Lorraine meet the international best selling author to pick up the story of her life detailed in her new memoir All The Way to the River: Love, Loss & Liberation. Elizabeth speaks with moving honesty about her love story with her ‘wife’ Raya, their descent into addiction, and the rage and pain of profound grief. She also shares her spiritual learnings & life philosophies for our midlife years, including how to stop ‘purpose anxiety’, why gentle curiosity rather than one big passion makes for a more interesting life, why women need to stop pouring themselves into others & her experiment in ‘honest ageing’.
