Gabrielle Stone pulled on the threads of her own marriage, until it came apart. At the other end, she'd discovered spare phones, receipts, emails, and an extraordinary web of social media posts that came together to paint a picture of her husband's extensive affair with a younger woman.

In her day job, Stone is filmmaker. Her films It Happened Again Last Night and After Emma earned her awards for writing, directing, and acting. With the discovery — and recovery — through her husband's infidelity and ultimately divorce, she put pen to paper and produced Eat, Pray, #FML, a book chronicling three months of her life of struggle, exploration, and reward.

Gabrielle Stone in the Toaster

We loved the book. It's vulnerable, enlightening, and above all a red-hot page-turner. Welcoming Gabrielle to How to Split a Toaster gives us the opportunity to explore some legal concepts that can lead to anxiety. For example, what do you do when approaching your spouse for divorce might put you in harm's way? How do you mitigate risk in process serving? Does your lawyer really recommend you act as your own private investigator?

But more important, Gabrielle helps us understand her healing process. In the spirit of letting her experience serve others, she talks about her journey through love bombing, recovery, solo travel and finding a space for healing alone.

The sequel is coming in just a few short weeks. In the mean time, click through to pick up Eat, Pray, #FML on Amazon to get yourself caught up and ready for more. Our great thanks to Gabrielle Stone for joining us this week on How to Split a Toaster.
