339: Healing Trauma, Releasing Shame, Finding Joy & Becoming a Super Attractor With Gabrielle Bernstein

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.Episode Highlights With Gabrielle BernsteinThe story of how Gabrielle faced a life-or-death decision at the age of 25… and how she chose lifeThe protective mechanisms that help us “hide”Why Gabby calls her postpartum depression a blessing in disguiseHow to discover the habits that undermine your success and root them out for goodWhy addiction often has its roots in traumaWhy acceptance is sometimes more important than doing everything “right”How our belief systems are formed, and ways to reshape based on our authentic selvesAnd more!Resources We MentionGabbyBernstein.comBooks by Gabby BernsteinTrauma Proofing Your Kids by Peter LevineNo Drama Discipline by Dan SeiglHealing Back Pain by Dr. John SarnoThe Mindbody Prescription by Dr. John SarnoMore From Wellness Mama483: Mark Wolynn on Why It Didn’t Start With You, Inherited Trauma & How We Heal339: Hea
