Big f%cking news this week, FML’ers! Gabrielle was going to wait until her next solo ep, but decided that now was the right time to announce that FML Talk is moving exclusively to Patreon in the new year. She’ll have more info on what this means for listeners during the next solo episode, so be sure to check that one out! In this episode, she and Tay dive into parenting updates as well as reflect on what they’ve learned from writing their latest book together, as they just submitted the final draft to their editor (yay!). They wrap the episode with fun listener questions, including Tay’s very elaborate answer on what his final last meal would be.

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.

**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. 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.
