Mad & Lucy Mind the Gap: Generations of Eat, Pray, Love

Published on August 5, 2025

Is walking away from the life you built… selfish or brave?

In this episode of Mad & Lucy: Mind the Gap, we dive into the legacy of Eat, Pray, Love—the memoir, the movie, and the generational moment. With special guest (and our podcast producer) Lara Dollens, we unpack what made this story resonate so deeply—and what made it frustrating.

We talk about authenticity, scripts we were handed, and why Gen Z might be throwing them out earlier than anyone expected. From house buying and hustle culture to parenting and privilege, this one’s a multi-generational reckoning with what it means to live a life that actually feels like yours.
