Part 2/8:
A notable segment from a recent online interview features Gilbert discussing the importance of surrounding oneself exclusively with high-caliber individuals. During the session, she recounts an anecdote about a gathering with civil rights activist Rachel Cargle, emphasizing the value of eliminating toxic or difficult relationships from one’s life. Cargle’s bold claim—that she currently does not harbor anyone she perceives as difficult in her circle—serves as a provocative example of boundary-setting and self-respect.
Gilbert's reflections underscore a broader cultural conversation about personal boundaries and the conscious curation of one's social environment. This emphasis on authenticity and self-preservation aligns with her public persona of spiritual clarity.
