There's clearly a global need to be articulate and share our thoughts. It begins with self education. The wisdom is everywhere. Sharing it in everyone's shower (your words) is very cleansing! Podcasts and music are good media.

Thanks for having me as a guest on your Podcast, Katie!  You are such a great host, and I appreciate the thoughtfulness and time you took to create this conversation!

In this episode, Katie dives into her journey through disordered eating and addiction and explores how they were a portal to discovering the deeper truths of life she had been avoiding. For a deeper dive into Katie’s recovery journey, you can pre-order her book “Fed Up: An Illustrated Guide to Food Freedom” at www.thefedupbook.com and follow her on Instagram at @TheFedUpBook.

1. Welcome to Casual Ecstasy

Let’s dive into the deep end of human consciousness with Aisha Pema Salem. This conversation took place in March of 2021 at Nari Sanctuary on the Danish island of Møn. Pema talks about sinking deep into the feminine to truly be with the joy of grief and anger, and being courageous enough to become deeply honest. Pema invites us to remember the knowledge that has always been within us, and to stabilize in this remembrance. You can find out more about Aisha Pema and how to work with her at www.AishaSalem.com.

2. Becoming Deeply Honest with Pema Salem

From the worldwide bestselling author of Eat Pray Love: the path to the vibrant, fulfilling life you&rsquo;ve dreamed of. &#160; Readers of all ages and walks of life have drawn inspiration and empowerment from Elizabeth Gilbert&rsquo;s books for years. Now this beloved author digs deep into her own generative process to share her wisdom and unique perspective about creativity. With profound empathy and radiant generosity, she offers potent insights into the mysterious nature of inspiration. She asks us to embrace our curiosity and let go of needless suffering. She shows us how to tackle what we most love, and how to face down what we most fear. She discusses the attitudes, approaches, and habits we need in order to live our most creative lives. Balancing between soulful spirituality and cheerful pragmatism, Gilbert encourages us to uncover the &ldquo;strange jewels&rdquo; that are hidden within each of us. Whether we are looking to write a book, make art, find new ways to address challenges in our work, &#160;embark on a dream long deferred, or simply infuse our everyday lives with more mindfulness and passion, Big Magic cracks open a world of wonder and joy.

Magic Lessons Ep. #12: Brene Brown on "Big Strong Magic"

Her name is synonymous with her fantastically best-selling memoir Eat Pray Love. But through the disorienting process of becoming a global celebrity, Elizabeth Gilbert has also reflected deeply on the gift and challenge of inhabiting a creative life. Creativity, as she defines it, is about choosing curiosity over fear — not to be confused with the more familiar trope to "follow your passion” — but rather as something accessible to us all and good for our life together.

Elizabeth Gilbert — Choosing Curiosity Over Fear

Showing Up Messy is a podcast about the messy parts of the creative process and how we often need to show up before we feel "ready."

You are officially invited to join the conversation, launching March 2018. Subscribe now!
