The indomitable Liz Gilbert (of EAT, PRAY, LOVE fame) joins Kate for a live conversation on the courage to create. Listen as Liz helps us expose our exhausting American need to make everything useful and lets us embrace beauty as a way of really living.

In this episode, Kate and Liz discuss: 
Why we stop ourselves from being creative 
How we are all capable of making anything (badly! medium-well!) 
But how our creativity is best if it is for no reason whatsoever (not for impact or legacy or money or acknowledgement) 
How curiosity quiets fear and control




CW: some spicy adult language
