Sophia BushGUEST
And that book saved my life in 2023.
Sophia BushGUEST
And I feel the same way about Cheryl Strayed's writing.
Sophia BushGUEST
Tiny Beautiful Things made my soul say everything.
Sophia BushGUEST
Yes, that to words I hadn't already read, but that I already knew to be true.
Sophia BushGUEST
A, because let's be real.
Sophia BushGUEST
If you are a gorgeous writer like a personal hero of mine, Cheryl Strayed, and you write the bone marrow of your life and that book becomes famous, you're allowed to do that.
Sophia BushGUEST
If you are someone the world perceives as famous in whatever way they do, you don't get the same carte blanche to talk about

Sophia BushGUEST
Gloria talks so much in her books about the transformative power of listening to people.
Sophia BushGUEST
And she designed her whole life around being able to listen anywhere she was.
Sophia BushGUEST
And one of the things that always cuts me to the quick in the best way about Cheryl Strayed's writing is that when she answers people's letters, she will say, what I'm hearing is, based on what you've told me, it seems.
Sophia BushGUEST
And she offers people's own expression back to them, right? in a way that is so tenderly observed that she gives them permission to feel the feelings they're still hiding

Lisa KeefauverHOST
Is...
Lisa KeefauverHOST
I mean, we're going to go through these seasons of suffering.
Karson BrownGUEST
She would never remember me in a million years, but it was at Writers Rising Conference in Hollywood a couple of years ago.
Karson BrownGUEST
Cheryl Strayed was the keynote speaker and Jen Pasteloff, who I adore.
Karson BrownGUEST
Marlon James was there.
Karson BrownGUEST
It was so incredible.
Oprah WinfreyHOST
Oh.
Oprah WinfreyHOST
Cheryl Strayed's best-selling book, Wild, captivated millions of readers and inspired an Oscar-nominated film.
Oprah WinfreyHOST
But in a twist Cheryl never even predicted, many of her words have sparked an internet phenomenon.
Oprah WinfreyHOST
When people take a quote,
Joel PitneyHOST
And this included small names, and it also included big names.
Joel PitneyHOST
And so one of her personal heroes was Cheryl Strayed, who wrote Wild.
Joel PitneyHOST
That-
Paul KatzGUEST
I, I worked on the movie.
Tracy SmithGUEST
Yeah.
Tracy SmithGUEST
So I think that there was some comparison about Cheryl Strayed's Wild and then Eat, Love, Pray.
Tracy SmithGUEST
And I think that the big difference, and this is why I said that just a few moments ago, the big difference that you'll find between what I wrote and what they wrote is they went on a journey because they had trauma, went on their journey.
Tracy SmithGUEST
They were healed from their journey and they came back and they started life fresh.
