Trigger warning: This episode deals with sexual assault, sexual abuse, and attempted suicide.
This week, Gabrielle sits down with non-profit organizer turned investigative journalist, Laila Mackelwait, as they discuss Laila’s role in taking down the now infamous adult content site, Pornhub. Laila was one of the first to raise the alarm about the site’s complete lack of content and user verification, which allowed anyone with just an email address to upload content, no matter what it was. This effectively meant that the site was set up to enable perpetrators to upload abusive and illegal content with no repercussions for their actions whatsoever. Until f%cking now. This episode highlights the urgent need for more accountability in our digital age as well as how one person with a mission for justice can make a huge difference.
You can follow Laila @lailamickelwait to learn more about her book “Takedown” as well as the Justice Defense Fund, an organization she set up to empower victims to hold their perpetrators accountable.

This week, Gabrielle chats with Erin Diehl, a former chronic people-pleaser-turned-author who found herself battling actual physical f%cking pain as a result of trying to meet everyone else's expectations. It was a book by Gabor Mate that shifted her thinking and put her on a path of self-healing with the realization that pleasing everyone around her just was not sustainable. Along the way she also had her miracle baby (seriously, the odds are incredible) and developed a thriving improv coaching business that has helped thousands bring out their very best selves. This episode reminds us of the power of healing and self-love, especially for those who have spent years in the service of others, and that it’s never too late to pivot, heal, and reclaim our own energy.

Ending a 3-year relationship with a single email? No, this is not a f%cking movie; it really happened to Karen Maloney, Gabrielle’s guest this week. Karen details the moment she had the rug pulled out from under her life, and what’s more insane is she never heard from her now-ex ever again. What the actual F%ck asks every FML’er everywhere. Karen discusses her initial reaction of self-blame to the shocking news but also the deep self-reflection it triggered in her, leading her down a new path of self-love, personal empowerment, and the realization that her own well-being must come first.Find out more about Karen's journey and her transition to life coaching at karenmaloney.com/Thank you so much to our incredible sponsors!Lumen - Visit lumen.me/FMLTALK to get 15% off your LumenUncommon Goods - To get 15% off your next gift, go to uncommongoods.com/FMLTALKS.

**TRIGGER WARNING**: Loss of a child.
Tara Marino joins Gabrielle on the pod this week with a trigger warning for those who have experienced the loss of a child. This was Tara’s f%cking unimaginable reality in her twenties when she lost her son Mason and was faced with the daunting task of picking up her life and trying to move on. Tara opens up about how she channeled this profound loss into finding a new purpose in life, describing her grief as a gift that ultimately guided her toward healing. In the process, she started a coaching business and developed a unique system of defining feminine archetypes for women to channel their power into overcoming significant trauma. This is a hard episode but ultimately rewarding to see someone come out the other side as a healed person with incredible knowledge to share.

Tired of feeling f%cking defeated when it comes to dating? In this episode, dating coach and relationship expert Lilli Bewley joins Gabrielle to break down four painfully relatable dating archetypes that shape how we show up in all relationships—not just dating. Forget swiping and dating “rules”—this is about the real you.

Whether you're single or settled, tune in to find your archetype and transform how you move through life!

Gabrielle is back with a solo episode this week! She dives into her recent break from social media, resulting in a much f%cking needed mental health reset to combat the late-night doom scrolls that she was feeling trapped in. Not only did she get some quality family time, which was great for the soul, she feels more reconnected to herself and is better equipped to deal with feelings of comparison she was having from seeing other people’s lives on social media. (Don’t we all need this?) Lastly, she reads a submitted FML’er story about love lost but wisdom gained, reiterating the need to trust your own judgement at all times.

Beloved psychotherapist Terri Cole is back by popular demand, and boy does she knock our f%cking socks off with this episode! Terri and Gabrielle break down what an HFC (high-functioning codependent) person is—essentially someone who feels compelled to over-invest in their friends or families emotional/financial/spiritual wellbeing at the expense of their own happiness and peace. Terri provides insights into the emotional labor involved in maintaining relationships this way, leading to blurred boundaries, exhaustion, and eventual burnout. Gabrielle shares her own experiences with control and trust, finding it easier to give help than to receive it—a hallmark of HFCs. The episode concludes with ways to flip the narrative, including embracing your own vulnerabilities and prioritizing self-care to find these much-needed healthier interactions. It’s a must-listen episode for anyone who resonates with these situations—you don’t want to miss it!
Be sure to keep up with Dr. Terri on Instagram and order her new book here!

This week’s episode explores the concept of generational trauma, healing, and breaking out of the f%cking victim mentality. Gabrielle is joined by Judy Wilkins Smith, a renowned systemic executive coach and author of the book ‘Coding Your Emotional Blueprint’. Judy explains how trauma responses can be passed down through generations of family history—inherited even by those who did not experience these events directly. It’s all part of how our emotional landscape is shaped, and it adds a fascinating layer of understanding to how we react to situations in our lives. They also dive into the impact of social media and how we often glamourize our own suffering, adding that while validation of trauma is important, we can’t get trapped in that victim mentality, and it’s essential to flip the perspective to celebrate your resilience. This episode is packed with eye-opening insights you don’t want to miss!

This episode is for all the f%cking co-parents out there. This week, Gabrielle sits down with Dr. Courtney Evans, a divorce and co-parenting coach, as they discuss the complexities of co-parenting, particularly in toxic situations. Dr. Evans has seen both sides of the equation as she’s been through her own divorce (which stayed amicable) as well as her current husband’s divorce and subsequent custody battle (which was extremely toxic and wildly expensive). Seeing an opportunity to help others, Dr. Evans drew on her experience from the healthcare system to develop her coaching business, where she now advises clients through their own divorces, separations, and co-parenting situations. In toxic environments, Dr. Evans advocates for a mindset shift to deal with the emotional toll and reduce conflict, as well as focusing on personal healing to reach a more positive state of wellbeing. No one ever said co-parenting was easy, but Dr. Evans' approach may just be the playbook you need!
Dr. Courtney Evans Bio:
Dr. Courtney is wife-mom-stepmom-DNP-soon to be published author who also happens to be an experienced divorce coach and co-parenting mentor. Her two decade career in the healthcare field has lent to her deep understanding of human behavior, mental health, and the importance of self-care during challenging life transitions. With her expertise in healthcare, coupled with her coaching education and personal experience dealing with a high conflict co-parenting dynamic, Courtney is uniquely equipped to provide support in surviving the emotional impact of divorce. Courtney shares how she survived her own divorce and is navigating the subsequent co-parenting journey. She is also a co-survivor of a lengthy, expensive, custody battle riddled with false allegation and alienation tactics. She survived it all… ungracefully… but is rising from the ashes of what was meant to destroy her and is writing one hell of a comeback story.

Buckle up, FML'ers, this is a f%cking wild one! Gabrielle sits down with Nikole Mitchell, who became a viral sensation after a profile in the New York Post described her as a pastor-turned-stripper (and yes, that’s her true life story!). As sensational as the headline is, the truth is much more nuanced, and Nikole openly shares her journey from one end of the spectrum to the other. Nikole dives into what that transition was like for herself, her family, and her friends, revealing that there were some really tough moments along the way as a lot of people in her circle struggled to understand the choices she’d made. But now, she feels so much more comfortable in her new identity as a queer content creator, and bonus, she’s been able to give her kids a better life with the added personal and financial success she’s found. This episode is all about body positivity and personal growth and really shines a light on what it means to truly embrace the person you feel you are deep inside!

This week, Susie Evans from season 26 joins Gabrielle to spill the tea on life during and after the show, sharing her incredible journey from shy teenager to Bachelor contestant with all the ups and downs along the way. The journey included relationships with some real lying, cheating a**holes, which Susie dives into and describes how she now has a zero-tolerance policy for any dishonesty in a relationship. As anyone who follows Bachelor Nation knows, Susie’s also recently been through a very public breakup, but thankfully is on the road to recovery and is focusing on personal pursuits. One of which is a new podcast (check out Gabrielle as a guest on it!) that delves into 'the intriguing world of relationships gone awry' and bills itself as a place to be ‘enlightened, entertained, and empowered’. F%ck yeah, we love it!

Get a f%cking bottle ready to pop for this solo episode, everyone, because it’s September 4th! FML’ers will know the significance of this date already, but to those who don't, it’s the date that two big things happened for Gabrielle. 1) The date of her first wedding, which, as we know, went down in flames, and 2) the date she left for her first Eat Pray FML trip, which launched her book as well as her healing journey. Gabrielle has been reflecting a lot lately this past week after last week’s emotional episode and received some amazing and encouraging responses not just from friends but from FML’ers too. She’s realized that there is still some fear of a pattern repeating that she saw her mom go through (having her career side-swiped), and that’s been really challenging to reconcile. But with some supportive advice from past guests, Gabrielle emphasizes that we’re not doomed to the same fate as our parents and reminds us that our inner child has the power to break cycles and reach new heights. She wraps up with an FML story about a mom dealing with a sh*tty baby daddy but celebrating the joy she now has with her newborn son.
