Today I am joined by the one and only Carola Lovering (and as of the past year or so, Carola Lovering Crane). Carola is an acclaimed novelist and author of the book Tell Me Lies, which is a "thrilling, sexy A thrilling, sexy coming-of-age story exploring toxic love, ruthless ambition, and shocking betrayal, Tell Me Lies is about that one person who still haunts you—the other one. The wrong one. The one you couldn't let go of. The one you'll never forget." Carola was a huge get considering she just gave birth to son James and is a new mom. Luckily, however, she still had time to sit down with me and chat everything from toxic men, to on and off again "situationships," to eating disorders that take over your life; the whole nine yards really. Lucy, the novel's protagonist, is a college student who is caught up in the dual toxicity of her emotional draining "relationship" with master manipulator Stephen and her battle with a nasty eating disorder (which of course is only worsened by the situationship at hand). Carola stresses that while the novel is entirely fictional, it rings emotionally true to her and some of her past experiences with men and eating. This episode gets so deep and raw and is so incredibly important for women, let alone people, of all ages.
