About this episode
The last two years have been a journey for me as I worked through a past trauma to get to a new point of inner healing. The result? I feel happier in my skin and even enjoyed a dramatic 80-pound weight loss as everything else came into balance. One of the heroes I looked up to during this process was Gabrielle Bernstein, who is my guest today. She has an incredible story of fighting her way back from a traumatic experience. Now she’s known as a “shame-shifter” who helps people all over the globe. Gabrielle wrote the #1 New York Times best-selling author of book The Universe Has Your Back and six additional bestsellers, including Super Attractor . She also co-hosted the Guinness World Record’s largest guided meditation with Deepak Chopra and was chosen by The Oprah Winfrey Network to be part of the “Super Soul 100,” a trailblazing group whose life’s work is to elevate the world.
