FML Talk

Tay is on the pod this week, and he and Gabrielle have some big f%cking news! No, Gabrielle is not pregnant again. Tay has come onboard as co-author of Gabrielle’s next FML book, ‘Finding You Through Finding Me,’ and so starts the collaborative and sometimes contentious journey of working with your spouse on a creative project. (Couples everywhere, we know you can relate.) They touch on the emotional difficulty of writing about past traumas and think about the day when their kids will be old enough to read this. What will they think? It’s an honest and heartfelt episode looking at the challenges and rewards of writing about your life and very relatable truths.

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. From the Chill Woman (who seems easy going but craves more) to the guarded Fortress, the high-standard Goddess who intimidates, and the Magnetic Woman radiating inner confidence, Lilli shares the journey from "dating f%cking sucks" to "dating actually works." 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!

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!

In that case, consider that box DOUBLE checked this week for Tay and Gabrielle! We swear that no one is high in this episode, just extremely sleep deprived (Hi Tay!), as they both giggle, chuckle, and belly laugh their way through the last week’s adventures in parenthood. From Stone cutting his finger (he’s ok!) to Tay’s very, very eclectic musical tastes to Gabrielle’s use of some light TikTok deception—it’s all here this week! They wrap up the episode by answering some FML’er questions about what their best date would be, any past relationship regrets, and who you’d want to be stranded on a desert island with. Tune in to find out!

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!
