Finding Joy in a Capitalist Society (Interview w/ Author Elsie Gilmore)

In this video, I talk with best-selling author and activist Elsie Gilmore about her new book How to Find Joy in a Capitalist Hellscape. We discuss positive ways to create a life of our own design outside of the ‘shoulds’, staying true to ourselves in challenging times, creating social connections and learning to be comfortable with ourselves (particularly women) as we age. This episode is power-packed with positivity for living joyfully.

ABOUT ELSIE:

Elsie Gilmore, author of How to Find Joy in a Capitalist Hellscape, holds a master’s degree in environmental law and policy from Vermont Law School. Known for her environmental activism, Elsie has taken part in civil disobedience and was arrested at the White House in 2011 as part of Tar Sands Action. Along with being an advocate for environmental protection and basic human rights, she also engages in social art like talking to and hugging strangers.

Elsie began her writing journey when the internet was a mere toddler and hasn’t stopped since. Her work includes various personal and professional blogs, a column for the Rutland Herald, participation in several radio shows, and her current weekly Substack publication, Sunday Mornings in Bed. Described as “that lady who will not stop talking,” Elsie’s voice is both persistent and passionate.

With a career spanning twenty years as a web developer and the founder of Women With Moxie, a women’s networking company, Elsie has worn many hats. From Vermont farm girl to multi-business owner and now a published author, she continues to pursue the awesome sauce in life.
