Women of Impact

Trauma stems from any number of experiences, but women are twice as likely to develop PTSD and roughly 50% of women are reported to have experienced some sort of traumatic event in life. What trauma have you experienced that gets pushed out of your mind continuously so you can carry on with your day? When you still have to show up for work, care for your children, and attend family functions, when are you taking the time to face the trauma that is affecting you? As we disregard the warnings in our minds, symptoms can often manifest physically and go untreated. Gabby Bernstein is back to share the depth of work she’s been doing to get to the next level seeking freedom. Gabby is a NY Times bestselling author, spiritual coach and motivational speaker. She opens up and reveals her journey from being a meditative holistic spirit junkie to accepting medical diagnosis and prescription to help her through mental health challenges she needed to overcome.“When an eggshell is cracked from the outside it is broken, when it's cracked from the inside it is reborn.” AmaCheck out Gabby’s new book, Happy Days: https://amzn.to/3JN8DsbSHOW NOTES:You’re Not Crazy | Gabby on how to be compassionate and more curious about triggers [0:42]Being Medicated | Gabby explains how she came to accept a diagnosis and medication [7:13]Go Next Level | How being devoted feeling free is the catalyst for change to level up [12:56]Codependency | Gabby exposes how codependency in relationships is an addiction [18:14]Running Away | How to identify if you’re running away when you need to face the trauma [21:23]Address Wounds | Why addressing your core wounds is a must even when medicated [24:38]Shame of My Shame | Healing the trauma causing shame and caring for your inner child [28:00]Discomfort | How to sit in the discomfort when you are ready and desire to feel free [35:27]Rage on the Page | Gabby shares how to journal your anger and make space for love [38:49]Doing the Work | Gabby explains how to do the internal work in your own pace [44:00]Happy Days | Gabby explains why her book is meant to share hope of the other side [47:23]Follow Gabby Bernstein:Website: https://gabbybernstein.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabbybernstein/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gabriellebernsteinInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabbybernstein/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiGs8bAma9q1fqP-3SokQZwCheck out our sponsors:Athletic Greens: Go to https://athleticgreens.com/lisa and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase!InsideTracker: insidetracker.com/womenofimpactAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?Calling all Badasses!!
