About this episode
This week on Reclaiming, Monica is joined by Liz Gilbert, bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and City of Girls, for a deeply personal conversation about solitude, self-compassion, and the courage to live outside expectation. Liz opens up about the liberation she’s found in celibacy, the radical practice of befriending herself, and the cost of female over giving. She and Monica talk about loneliness, freedom, recovery, and what it means to say: this isn’t working for me. It’s a candid and soulful episode about grief, transformation, and the power of reclaiming your own life. And make sure to check out her new book "All the Way to the River" out now!
