“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.” – W.M. LewisIn this solo episode, Michael reflects on the ways we delay the life that's calling us. He shares how he waited years to launch this very podcast and over a decade to write his book, Resonance, and what finally helped him get out of his own way.Drawing on Steven Pressfield's The War of Art and Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic, he explores the idea of the “muse” – that creative force that wants to move through us – and the counterforce Pressfield calls “resistance.” He weaves in stories from elders facing the end of their lives, including a man who had never once been met at the airport, and contrasts that with memories of his father, a man who always showed up.In this conversation, you'll hear about:Why we wait so long to begin the life that's meant for usThe muse, resistance, and how to finally start dancing with your creative callingThe difference between résumé goals and eulogy goalsWhat elders' regrets can teach us about how to live nowWhy relationships — the people who would pick you up at 2 a.m. — matter more than anythingThis is an invitation to stop postponing your real life, to sing your unique song, and to surround yourself with the people who help you play it beautifully. Michael Trainer has spent 30 years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists, and wisdom keepers worldwide. He's the author of RESONANCE: The Art and Science of Human Connection (March 31, 2026), co-creator of Global Citizen and the Global Citizen Festival, and host of the RESONANCE podcast.Featured in Forbes, Inc, Good Morning America.

Description: In today's mind-bending episode, prepare to challenge everything you think you know. Acclaimed storyteller and filmmaker Ky Dickens—known for documentaries that shift public policy and cultural perception—takes us on a new journey with The Telepathy Tapes, her viral podcast exploring telepathy within the nonspeaking community. The series sparked global fascination, raising profound questions about consciousness, language, and human connection—and is now being developed into a feature documentary. Jen and Amy talk with Ky about how non-speakers are breaking barriers and communicating in ways once thought impossible. From the science of telepathy to its spiritual dimensions, this conversation will upend your understanding of what it means to connect and communicate.  Highlights: The groundbreaking ways non-speakers are reshaping communication Dismissed yet fascinating topics like energy healing, animal communication, mediumship, and near-death experiences “The Hill”: a metaphysical space where non-speakers connect telepathically – just wait until you hear about it! What non-speakers reveal about consciousness—and why we never truly disappear Thought-provoking Quotes: “Maybe instead of fixing the brokenness in society, I should focus on fixing the brokenness in me and in humanity.” – Ky Dickens “I don't think it's binary that people have to be that dogmatic about science, and we don't have to believe in everything. I think most of us are somewhere in the middle. We want to really investigate and understand the truth about the non-physical world, and it's not silly or unscientific or gullible to do so. I think it's a beautiful part of being alive.” – Ky Dickens “If you look at the world outside of nature itself, everything here was a thought first. The chair you're sitting in, the jeans you're wearing, even your life itself.  And so if consciousness is fundamental, it explains everything.” – Ky Dickens “So much of what science postulates was completely mocked and ridiculed and dismissed at the time. And it turned out later to be true. I mean, people once thought the world was flat. So our beliefs do change.” – Ky Dickens “One thing I have come to realize deeply is that science and spirituality are not enemies.” – Ky Dickens “I have not met a single non-speaker who doesn't talk about people who've passed and about the very real existence of God in an afterlife.” – Ky Dickens Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Telepathy Tapes – https://thetelepathytapes.com/ BT Harman - https://btharman.com/welcome Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell – https://drdianehennacy.com/ Elizabeth Gilbert – https://www.elizabethgilbert.com/ Rick Rubin - https://x.com/RickRubin Gregory Shushan – https://www.gregoryshushan.com/ Jane Goodall – https://janegoodall.org/ Guest's Links: Website - https://thetelepathytapes.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thetelepathytapes/ Twitter - https://x.com/TelepathyTapes Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPA5cHDlwkvTM7akXINZo9w TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@telepathytapes Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/1zigaPaUWO4G9SiFV0Kf1c Connect with Jen!

(Full episode for paid subscribers on Substack.)I have been lucky enough to interview Liz Gilbert multiple times over the years. First almost ten years ago now, when I launched my podcast Ctrl Alt Delete in 2016. We spoke on Skype, the audio was tinny, it was the early days of podcasting, I was in my mid-twenties recording from my spare box-room in my old Hackney flat. I remember how magical it felt to be speaking with a woman I admired so much. I was invited to her book launch luncheon for Big Magic in London members' club and I sat with journalists ten years older than me. I interviewed Liz again in 2019, when I was writing my first novel Olive, and her brilliant novel City of Girls was published. I went to the Bloomsbury offices on a bright sunny day, walking through Bedford Square Gardens with a t-shirt that said Sigourney Weaver on it.In April last year, I had the honour of introducing Liz on stage in front of thousands of people at the Barbican as part of her UK tour, and I got to attend one of her sold-out creativity workshops. As readers, we get to see all her different eras. During our conversation, we call the writing life ‘living out loud' and ‘learning in public.' For many Millennial women like me, Liz has been an unapologetic symbol of living a creative life, leaning into solitude, travel, adventure—and quite frankly: doing whatever you want with your one wild and precious life.Before All the Way to the River came out this year—her new memoir all about her all-consuming relationship with her late partner Rayya Elias—I was lucky enough to read an early copy in proof form. I was absolutely glued to it, pretty much ignoring my husband for two days, totally immersed in Liz's world. I love Liz's novels for this reason, they're big and expansive, an intricately built world to escape into, and I love this about Liz's non-fiction too—she lets us into the full truth of what's been going on in her life and shows us around. She did it in Eat Pray Love, Committed, and now this new book. It takes courage to say: Actually, you know what, I'm still a work in progress—and aren't we all? She says life is full of ‘good guesses' and it suggests that we should all have compassion for our past selves who were trying to figure out all of this *points around*. We don't have to tie up our stories in pretty packages. We don't have to be ‘consumed' easily. We don't have to have our personal stories confused with ‘giving advice' or being a guru. We live in ever-changing lives and worlds. Life is messy—and so are the memoirs that follow. “I'll see you in ten years with the next memoir. We'll see what happens after this.” — Elizabeth GilbertI loved interviewing Liz again this week, about our books, writing fiction vs non-fiction, ‘cooking' our writing before publishing it, and why we do what we do. I also asked her for some friendly advice as my own memoir A Year of Nothing publishes in January. I hope you enjoy the conversation (and how progressively dark my office gets over the recording lol, it was 4pm in the UK i.e. winter hours!) xoxoxoTimestamps during our conversation:00:00 - An introvert on tour06:00 - All The Way To The River and how it was born08:00 - Journalling vs ‘cooked' writing10:00 - How would Eat Pray Love look in 2025?13:00 - Self-help vs memoir16:00 - Having respect for your readers18:30 - The myth of the ‘guru'20:00 - The fear of publishing a memoir23:00 - Dealing with judgment or criticism25:00 - The reason why we write books27:00 - When a memoir demands to be written30:00 - Writing the book you want to read34:00 - Choosing which form to write in37:00 - Fiction vs non-fiction 40:00 - Creativity and divinity 44:00 - “Success” isn't enough47:00 - A darkness retreat50:00 - Martha Beck advice54:00 - What's next for Liz 56:00 - US vs UK audiences1:00 - Where do we write?1:05 - Alone vs lonely1:07 - Women and invisibility 1:13 - The end!

I share why I'm pausing this podcast at Episode 78 and shifting my focus toward women's healthcare and midwifery.

Most of us are busier, more “optimized,” and more connected than ever - yet somehow feel less alive. Why? And what would it look like to reclaim a deeper, wilder sense of humanness in a world obsessed with control?This week, Oliver Burkeman, bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks and Meditations for Mere Mortals, returns to explore the paradox at the heart of modern life: the more we chase mastery, certainty, and perfect systems, the more we squeeze out the very aliveness we're craving. From the illusion of control to the quiet courage of letting go, we dig into how to live fully now, not “one day when everything's sorted.”Together we explore:Aliveness vs. optimization: why feeling in control can be the enemy of feeling alive — and how to make room for vitality again.“Letting go” without giving up: Elizabeth Gilbert's reframe you're not losing control; you never had it, only anxiety.Productive discomfort tolerance: sitting with the first five messy minutes, parenting, deep work, reading, and why difficulty isn't a personal failing.Resilience as release: from kintsugi to self-trust, why strength often arrives after the break, and why gripping harder rarely works.Plans that don't kill the work: using structure as a North Star, not a taskmaster, so projects keep their spark.Spontaneity on schedule? The weird trap of “time-boxing serendipity,” and the liberating truth that every moment is a choice.Comparison culture: inside vs. outside, and why someone else's serene grid may mask chaos you can't see.AI, therapy, and the human need to be held in mind: where tools help, and where only a person will do.This is a conversation about refusing to postpone life until after the emails, the crises, or the algorithm say you're done, and choosing to show up, human and imperfect, right now.Love,Sarah Ann

In this episode, we lean into the mystical side of Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear. From her belief that ideas have a life of their own, to the almost magical way inspiration seems to show up, we explore the “woo-woo” aspects that make this book both enchanting and controversial. We'll share our thoughts on the spiritual and mysterious side of creativity—like whether ideas really “choose” us, how synchronicities play a role in the creative process, and why leaning into wonder can transform how we work and live. If you've ever felt like creativity has a mind of its own—or questioned the mystical side of inspiration—this conversation is for you.

Elizabeth Gilbert rocketed to fame for her best-selling romp “Eat, Pray, Love.” Her  latest memoir has a very different tone. “All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation” details her journey to heal from sex and love addiction. It is also about the love of her life, Rayya Elias, a Syrian-born recovering addict and musician. Elizabeth Gilbert joins us for a live broadcast in front of an audience at the Literary Arts bookstore.

Charles shares a personal reflection on Elizabeth Gilbert's new memoir All the Way to the River—a raw, beautifully told story about love, addiction, and loss. He explores what makes Gilbert's writing different from typical books on recovery and co-dependence, how her honesty resonates with his own journey, and why the audiobook version delivers an especially powerful experience.Support the show

What if the secret to unlocking creativity, confidence, and collaboration at work wasn't more structure—but more play? Today's guest is living proof that playful rebellion can lead to powerful results. With over a decade of experience in corporate leadership and nearly as many years on the improv stage, this dynamic facilitator and coach has helped thousands of professionals ditch burnout and rediscover joy, connection, and purpose in their work. His book, “Playful Rebellion: Maximize Workplace Success Through The Power of Play,” challenges the idea that productivity and play are at odds. Instead, it offers a bold invitation to infuse our workdays with curiosity, experimentation, and fun without sacrificing results.

Description: As a luminary in contemporary literature, Elizabeth Gilbert's writing has shaped the zeitgeist through adventure, spiritual exploration, creativity, and what it means to live a life of integrity. Her work consistently resonates with a global audience, prompting introspection and inspiring personal journeys of self-discovery. In this episode, Elizabeth Gilbert delves into the intricate narratives woven within her latest book, All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation.  Liz traces the evolving nature of her bond with Rayya Elias, illustrating how the relationship transitioned from a cherished best friend to a trusted neighbor, then blossomed into a profound creative muse, and ultimately became a romantic partner—her "person."  This deeply significant relationship unfolded against the harrowing backdrop of Rayya's terminal pancreatic cancer diagnosis and her courageous, yet often arduous, battle with addiction.  In a conversation full of heart and unabashed vulnerability, Liz reflects on her own struggles with people-pleasing, addiction, and finding emotional and spiritual sobriety, discussing what it looks like to take accountability for one's own well-being to write a life story that ends with dignity. Thought-provoking Quotes: “If you're very lucky, you might just meet one person in your life who you can go all the way to the river with.” – Elizabeth Gilbert “There's not a jury in the world who wouldn't have agreed that I had every right to see myself as a victim in that story but I still didn't see my role in the insanity. It took me years of grieving and anger and processing to see it.” – Elizabeth Gilbert “There is no such thing as a relationship between an incredibly healthy person and an incredibly dysfunctional person. There's an incredibly dysfunctional person and a person who is very far from themselves engaging in that relationship with that incredibly dysfunctional person.” – Elizabeth Gilbert “I've used people as though they are drugs, to shore up my incredibly gaping insecurity wound. So I'm going to either use someone as a sedative, somebody who makes me feel really safe, or I'm going to go find somebody to use as a speed ball of excitement and danger, somebody who's very bad for me. I would just try to find the person who could make my levels feel right.” – Elizabeth Gilbert “Like many humans, I am extremely faulty at knowing what's going to make me happy.. I anticipate that something will make me happy and it almost kills me.” – Elizabeth Gilbert Emotional sobriety, for me, is taking complete accountability for my own nervous system and not ever accusing anybody of disrupting it. A simple thing that I've learned to say is not ‘You need to stop behaving the way that you're behaving', but ‘I love you and I need to go.'” – Elizabeth Gilbert To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

When someone you love is in pain—whether they’re sick, addicted, or falling apart—you show up. Again and again and again. You make the calls. You hold the line. You carry what you can. But what happens when love, loyalty, and devotion blur into something harder to name? When care turns into codependency, and compassion starts to erase your sense of self? Kate sits down with best-selling author Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love; Big Magic) to talk about the toll and the tenderness of caregiving. Liz’s new memoir, All the Way to the River, chronicles her years caring for someone she loved deeply through addiction and illness—and what it meant to finally let go. Together, they explore: What it means to walk someone you love to the edge of life How codependence disguises itself as devotion The permission we need to be more than someone’s lifeline This conversation is for anyone who has ever loved to the point of exhaustion. Who wonders if love is meant to cost this much. Who needs a blessing for the moment when helping means losing yourself.

What happens when love becomes addiction and life completely breaks you open? In this raw conversation, Elizabeth Gilbert shares her journey through grief, codependency, and recovery - revealing how our most devastating experiences can become our greatest teachers. You'll learn the difference between healing and fixing, why familiar pain often feels safer than growth, and what it truly takes to rebuild yourself from the ground up.  @elizabeth_gilbert_writer is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and Big Magic, with over 25 million books old worldwide.

The Wailin' Jennys have been singing together for more than two decades - recording albums, touring the world, and filling venues large and small. After all these years, the trio—Ruth Moody, Heather Masse, and Nicky Mehta—have reached both a plateau and an inflection point.
