I have listened several times this conversation. Every time it is a treasure. Thank you , thank you.
Something terrible is going to happen to me -- I am going to happen to something terrible. Brilliant.
Wow! As a former Mormon, I appreciate hearing from Martha. I am only recently awakening to certain events of my childhood and how devastating they've been to my romantic relationships. I found her book by accident and decided to get an overview here on KZread. The stars aligned. 🙏
Martha Beck. She has been so brave in her life. Elizabeth is right, "MB smokes what she's selling." love that.
Love these two ..even just looking at their light in there faces ..Thank you for your wisdom .
i've never seen an interview where the interviewer loved and understood the guest more, what a wonderful wonderful interview 💕
I needed a dose of Liz right now. I completely admire that she drew back from social media...but I miss her!!

And I should add, the fact she DID step away for her own well being, despite the fact so many of us miss her, is EXACTLY why she's a key role model for me.
Oh! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who bolt from the yoga voice. I had to pause the video just to laugh and celebrate. "I'm not alone!" LOL
Love Martha Beck’s writing and story. This conversation was a balm. I saw a few interviews with Ms. Beck where she was so hyper I couldn’t take her, she stressed me out. This format I think is very good cause she can be passionate but calm. Appreciated this.
About 7 years ago I woke up in the middle of the nite , sat right up in bed & heard the word Breezy clear as a bell ! 🌟🌟🌟 It felt so good as I felt it move thru my body . Swoosh . 🥳 I wondered is this my new name ? I had been wondering how come I never had a nick name . It took me a while to be able to tell People about this name . I'm pretty sure now , it's my soul name 💥💥💥 In the end I said to People " this name makes me happy " it's light and airy , reminding me to lighten up where as my given name is so serious ,, so it's the balance I needed . 💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙
This interview was L.I.F.E. in every way, shape and form!
My soul always deeply smiles and relaxes when it's in the presence of these two magnificent women. I have red the book 2 times already, but this makes me wanna revisit it yet again. Thank you so much xxx
Christina has been the perfect catalyst for a continually refreshing bouquet of ideas. Thanks Ladies
"I'm going to happen to something terrible"....Oh thank you so much for this!
Two women of the light. X
Running in a dark tunnel...so true.
Such a beautiful conversation. Love love love!
Love Martha Beck, Liz, Glennon and Andre Agassi, Gabor Mate..Real gems we have in the world...and it would be such a blessing someday to get a chance to meet and have a conversation/s with all of them.
This book 100% changed my life and it gets better the more I follow it. But goddamn so hard omg. hastag courage hastag disappointing people hastag facing your deepest fears
Just got some bad news about my mom, her cancer is back and they need to do more surgery. I immediately came to listen to this episode again because I find both Elizabeth's and Martha's stories to be so comforting and helpful. Thank you all for this podcast. It's a scary time for sure but we've been here before but that was when mom was many years younger. 93 and general anesthesia twice in one month isn't the most exciting thing. On one hand I feel helpless, powerless and frustrated cuz I want to DO SOMETHING! but on the other hand I know we all signed up for this and none of us know the future and it might very well turn out to be the best possible imaginal future, and then even better. But today is a tough day for sure.
Thank you both for brightening my day … the energy was beautifully fun and authentic.
Thank you so much, living here for the next 30 will be living. Can’t wait to read the book.
If this is not the most inspiring and beautiful interview on KZread, I don’t know what is 🩷
Oh, wow 🥰🤩 Thank you for going into such depth so quickly. How can you help it with these two! I NEEDED to hear this today. I love that the teachers arrive when you need them! And a wonderful facilitator ❤ You did a great job.
I'm hosting a 4-part book club on this book to create a space for my community to work through the sections of this book together. I am so so so thankful for this book and all the experiences that allowed it to be created! Feels like a gem that found its way into being over many centuries. Bless you Martha and Dante.
Truly an amazing book - these two women are just the most loving and inspiring guides! My life have not been the same after i started reading and listening to Liz, Martha (and after doing the work by Byron Katie). Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow...Elizabeth's story about her dad's long journey to become a Christmas Tree Farmer (passion for trees) is simple yet profound!!
A truly inspiring and energizing conversation! I have listened to The Way of Integrity 2x's on Audible and am constantly recommending it. Thank you for hosting this! 🌷
Your discussion is so interesting in the way it parallels my current journey. I'm committed to ascending 14,000 feet mountains this summer. I now believe I'm doing it to prove I am brave enough. It's a deflection from me needing help in designing a platform for discussions on creativity similar to your excellent talk right now. I'm so grateful to you both.
Thank you, I love you deeply ♥
I just stumbled upon this interview - am very glad I did! Among the many (MANY) gems, is the question from "Jennifer" (@ 1:00:00) when Martha and Elizabeth were asked about their "real" lifestyles... the diet Martha speaks about (no refined sugar) and Elizabeth's description of her day were very helpful. I have recently been on a whole-plant based diet (which has helped me to stay in my integrity), and also the reality of enjoying living alone is happening for me, at last. I'm looking forward to diving into Martha's book. Thank you B&B for hosting this virtual event. Very much appreciated.
Just love what Liz said at the end, I am not responding bc I am busy…it’s bc I am enjoying my time.

Wonderful
I love Martha's book. Thank you both for this conversation. Angels on earth!!
I love how you support each other
This was so much more than I thought it would be. I love learning about Martha’s back story, I can’t relate to people that haven’t been through life & death situations just bc of my life path, can’t stand fluff… this isn’t fluff. This is good.
I still believe it's AN ESSENTIAL project to teach humanity about the Creative Arts. I don't care if people don't believe in it. I taught it and saw it work first hand. No matter if students were in the arts or sciences, the Humanities liberates all.
Grateful a Jillionfold 😊💜Liz and Martha
Thank you wonderful inspiring conversation! I love all the insights like life should be freaking amazing :)
1:09:07 I like what she says here & I want to watch again later.
Martha Beck . . That’s so brilliant!
Breathwork can send you into another dimension! It’s probably the dimension we belong foremost.
this is so beautiful- thank you Liz for sharing your personal story and your experience with Truth.
Thank you Ladies!!!
beautiful conversation. thank you for sharing
I also feel like it’s important to give ourselves permission to not feel like Labrador retrievers all the time, that doesn’t mean you’re getting it wrong. Sometimes the kindest, healthiest thing we can do is feel the hard stuff and for however long it needs to be felt, that’s really and ok.

Absolutely!
Enjoyed this SO fully - thank you!!
Just what I needed today!
Thank you so much for this!!!
1:05:50 is the reminder I needed on boundaries.
Thanks for this beautiful interview 😊
Wow, I've been doing a ton of self-reflecting the last couple of weeks about my childhood, my life as I've created it to this point as well as how I deal and have dealt with my negative emotions and negative thoughts throughout my life. This conversation resonates so well with everything I've been figuring out about myself that I never before had taken the time to sit with. Thank you for sharing it. Oh and I've never read Dante but I do believe especially after this that I'll have to give it a shot. :-)
Lovely conversation, I love watching these 🌟
This was fantastic.
Loved this!
Love this
Gosh, I'm trying this 'no lying' thing..now admittedly, not in hugely high stakes situations, and it does actually make one feel so much lighter..AND is making me far more chill about other people's actions, figuring the pal that flaked on me was just expressing her truth at that moment and hence I took it far less personally than I might have normally. I did lie to a homeless person about not having change though....and it was very hard NOT to lie to the next one, and just say no.

Amazing
Fine = fucked up , insecure , neurotic & emotional . 😂 I asked my husband once " What kind of response is that ? " That was his answer to everything . Fine . Maybe that's a left brain response ? 🤷🏼♀️ If I use the word fine , it's not very good at all and I just don't want to complain . Ah hah . Being the good girl . Now I see , it would be way healthier to tell the truth of that exact moment . Time to tune into how I really feel . If I'm not feeling great , check in with my breathing . If they're still around , they are my People. 🤗 ❤️💥❤️💥❤️
Amazing 🤩
daggg elizabeth saved this interview 😉
I think the “safety in the truth”, is that there is no more work to do (justifications etc).
“I validate my ass thus.” Haha.
Is this quote from Martha Beck? : 'Whoever said love is blind is dead wrong. Love is the only thing lets us to see each other with remotest accuracy." ...?
mental ilness come from social and cultural expetations, true
What’s the story behind those grande glasses?
35:44
15:45
Can’t stand yoga voice… yes. 😆
Great talk. Terrible glasses.
Mhmmm… mixed feelings about this. Bit of Mott n Bailey action going on here. I’m on board for the leaving her family and the Mormon stuff, but extending that to Liz ditching her 2nd husband / lesbian drama to an eager audience- nah
Oh dear I was really enjoying this but now :-( I don't believe in god, it's daft!! Spoiled the whole video and books for me.
