Summary
A month-long trip to Europe might sound like a dream, but for Gabrielle Stone, it was one more curveball during one of the hardest years of her life.
After catching her husband cheating on her, getting divorced, falling head over heels for a new man and planning a dream trip to Europe with him, days before they were scheduled to leave, he told her he would be going on his own.
With a plane ticket in her name and a choice to stay home or leap from the world of "serial monogamy" to a solo adventure, Gabrielle chose the path of adventure, and in doing so, began a journey of self-discovery and healing that has become the "Eat, Pray, #FML" movement.
Alone with her emotions halfway across the world, Gabrielle started journaling and reflecting on herself and the patterns in her life. Through connecting with herself and discovering what self-love really means, she healed heartbreak, trauma and abandonment, and today, she vulnerably and authentically shares her journey with the hope of inspiring others.
Listen to discover:
- Gabrielle's story of healing from abandonment, trauma, divorce and depression
- Practical, tangible ways to love yourself
- Gabrielle's "self-love cocktail" and how you can create your own
- The "thought onion" process for working with negative and subconscious thoughts
- The connection between trauma and the relationships we attract
Gabrielle is relatable, funny and honest as she talks about life, relationships and changing our unhealed patterns so we can change our lives. I hope her story is an inspiration to anyone who needs to feel like you're not alone and find joy in the healing process.
"That relationship was really what pushed me to go heal a lot of this abandonment stuff." - Gabrielle Stone
"There's something very therapeutic about physically writing in a journal." - Gabrielle Stone
"When I realized that loving yourself is as simple as giving your soul the things it loves, it totally changed everything for me." - Gabrielle Stone
"We don't take enough time – down time – to get to know who we are." - Michelle Chalfant
"When you keep attracting the same kind of people into your life, you have to look inward." - Michelle Chalfant
