A Fresh Story - Gabrielle Stone & the Diary of Metamorphosis
play

02/19/23 • 54 min

We chatted with author, and award-winning actress, writer, and director, Gabrielle Stone, about how she took a massive heartbreak and turned it into a best-selling book, podcast, and movement. We talked about the transformation after divorce, traveling alone through the world, her journey writing Eat, Pray, #FML, and how she healed herself through creativity, wisdom, and empowering others. It’s a gorgeous, honest, and vulnerable conversation about turning heartbreak into humor, and everything in between.

Gabrielle Stone is no stranger to the world of entertainment and the idea of a fresh start in life. Growing up on set with her legendary scream-queen mother, Dee Wallace, she had days of licking off mommy’s fake blood and watching behind the scenes movie magic. Seeing the world with mom and dad gave her the travel bug at an early age—until Gabrielle experienced a real-life horror when she lost her father suddenly at age seven.

After many years in the industry herself, Stone transitioned from meaty acting roles to writing and directing. Her award-winning films It Happened Again Last Night and After Emma gained her awards for writing, directing, and acting—but she had a bigger role in life that would soon present itself: freaking badass.

After the rug was vigorously pulled out from under her when her husband’s affair came to light, she found herself falling into the arms of another man. After a second failed attempt at love and a massive heartbreak, she decided that instead of landing flat on her ass—she’d make a career out of it.

And so came the birth of the book Eat, Pray, #FML, where she shared all the mistakes, all the lessons, and most importantly, how she became a fearless leader from it all.

When fans around the world demanded more, the highly anticipated sequel, The Ridiculous Misadventures of a Single Girl, and the podcast FML Talk were born—and Gabrielle soon realized that her broken heart had bloomed a movement.

You can learn more about Gabrielle Stone and purchase her books on her website: https://www.eatprayfml.com/

A Fresh Story - Emily Helck & The Lost Bookshop
play

03/08/23 • 58 min

A Fresh Story, season 2, episode 5

Sometimes people come into our lives and change the course of it forever - Emily Helck is one of those people. We chatted with Emily, the founder of The Lost Bookshop, about her many fresh starts in life - including supporting her partner through cancer, a diagnosis and experience of breast cancer as a young woman, figuring out her career, pregnancy loss, grieving a parent, and ultimately - following her dream and opening The Lost Bookshop - Delhi, New York’s independent bookstore.

As she says about The Lost Bookshop, "Our name plays with the dual associations of the word "lost" when it comes to books —it’s a pleasure to be lost in a story, for example, and people in periods of change or transition (like leaving home, relationships ending or beginning, and grief and loss) who are perhaps feeling lost, can benefit from time spent with books. We offer books for getting lost and finding your way. Our carefully curated selection, which is guided by personal recommendations from our community, will place absorbing books in the hands of all readers, including those at crossroads in their lives."

Emily Helck is a writer and artist who divides her time between Philadelphia and New York's Catskill Mountains. She holds a bachelor's degree from Drew University, a master's degree from Fordham University, and is a graduate of Rutgers University–Camden’s creative writing MFA program. Her writing has been published by ABC News, Bustle, and other outlets. In addition to writing, she's proud of professional accomplishments in young adult cancer advocacy, and in the arts, having worked for iconic artist William Wegman for nearly twenty years. Emily is currently in the process of opening her own bookstore, The Lost Bookshop.

A Fresh Story, season 2, episode 9

Novelist Zoe Fishman is the critically acclaimed author of six novels, the most recent of which, The Fun Widow's Book Tour, was published in March of this year. She’s the recipient of myriad awards, including an AJC "10 Southern Books We Loved in 2019" selection and an IndieNext Pick, and was the 2020 Georgia Author of the Year in the Literary Fiction category.

We chatted with Zoe about losing her husband suddenly and how it completely changed course of her life, how living with grief feels, her relationship to writing, and her dedication to telling her story so that no one else feels along in their grief journey. Join us as we talk about her new novel, The Fun Widow’s Book Tour, loss, grief, writing, and finding hope.

Interviews and profiles of Zoe have been featured in Publisher’s Weekly, The Atlanta Jewish Times and The Huffington Post among others and her essays have been published in The New York Times' Modern Love column, as part of The Atlanta Journal Constitution's Personal Journey series and Modern Loss.
Zoe worked in the New York publishing industry for thirteen years before moving to Atlanta in August of 2011. She was most recently the Executive Director of The Decatur Writers Studio as well as an instructor, and a Visiting Writer at SCAD Atlanta. She is currently working on her next novel and raising her two young boys in Decatur, Georgia.
