Imagine stepping into the shoes of someone who has faced life's darkest corners, battled addiction, confronted trauma and emerged on the other side, not just surviving, but shining with spiritual wisdom. Welcome to our space, and today, we have the privilege of having Gabby Bernstein (to speak about her book Happy Days), a spiritual teacher and author who embodies resilience and transformation, sharing her life's journey with us. She unveils her battle with addiction, her path to sobriety, and a traumatic childhood event that laid concealed for years, providing insight into how extreme behaviors, good or bad, can serve as shields protecting us from our internal struggles. Have you ever pondered how our past traumas, feelings of shame and relationship styles can affect our physical health? Together with Gabby, we delve into this fascinating territory, examining how these elements can manifest into physical issues, from digestive problems to brain fog. Gabby's insights reveal that our biologically designed shame responses, which are meant to tether us to safety, can lead to debilitating issues when suppressed. Moreover, we shed light on the enduring physical impact of trauma and stress the importance of embarking on the healing journey in a safe and timely manner.For Mari’s Instagram click here!For Pursuit of Wellness Podcast’s Instagram click here!For Gabby’s Instagram click here!For Gabby’s Podcast click here!For Gabby’s Coaching Membership click here!Gabrielle’s Books (to name a few):Happy DaysThe Universe Has Your Back: Transform Fear to FaithSuper Attractor: Methods for Manifesting a Life Beyond Your Wildest DreamsMay Cause Miracles: A 40-Day Guidebook of Subtle Shifts for Radical Change and Unlimited HappinessProducts Mentioned:Peter Lavine - Trauma ExpertThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
