We had such a great time connecting with our new comadre Gabrielle Ruiz on this episode of 'the Chill. She opens up to us about what it was like going through her first full term pregnancy while living in a pandemic, the shifts she had to make after becoming a mom, and the courage she had to summon to make tough decisions regarding how she would introduce her daughter to the world. She candidly invites us all into her life as a new implant in Los Angeles and what it's been like bridging the gap between successful actor, entertainer, and new mom. She says "God's plans are always more fun than ours"...and we couldn't agree more!

Gabrielle is most widely known for her role as Valencia on the CW show "Crazy ExGirlfriends". She also co-hosts her own podcast called "What are Friends For?" which focuses on the journey through platonic, adult love. You can follow her everywhere at @gabrielleruiz
