Gabrielle Stone (Eat Pray FML) on Betrayal, Love Bombing & Healing.

Bestselling author Gabrielle Stone joins Kelly for one of the most kindred-spirit conversations Comfort Food has had yet. Gabrielle wrote the cult-favorite memoir Eat Pray FML, its sequel The Ridiculous Misadventures of a Single Girl, and her newest release with husband Tay, Finding You Through Finding Me.

Her CliffsNotes story: married almost two years, blindsided by her husband's six-month affair with a 19-year-old. She filed for divorce, fell madly in love with a "well-known Hollywood actor" (Javier in the book), got invited on a month-long trip to Italy, and 48 hours before the flight, he broke up with her. So she went anyway. Six countries, one month, solo. And wrote a book about it.

Kelly and Gabrielle dig into the love bombing red flags they would have missed at 28, Gabrielle's subconscious "when I love someone, they leave" wound (she lost her dad at 6 and her high school sweetheart at 18), why the relationship after the divorce often hurts worse than the divorce itself, and what it actually takes to reset your nervous system from toxic love to safe love. Plus where Javier is now (still, apparently, doing the same thing at 50).

Honest, raw, funny. The kind of conversation you wish you could have over a bottle of wine.
