Duration: 50:25
Gabrielle Bernstein transformed her darkest moments into a mission to help others heal. In her early years, she struggled with addiction, anxiety, and deep emotional pain, until she hit rock bottom and whispered a simple prayer: “I need a miracle.” That moment became a turning point. Through years of sobriety, spiritual practice, and deep inner work, she rebuilt her life and became one of the most influential voices in modern spirituality. In this episode, Gabrielle joins Tim to share her journey from rock bottom to spiritual leadership while unpacking the deeper patterns that keep people stuck. She explores why high achievers often feel unfulfilled, how childhood experiences shape adult behavior, and what it truly means to lead your life from a place of self, not survival.
