Gabby Bernstein is at the forefront of the growing spiritual wellness trend for a generation taught to strive for success above all else. She has been named a “next-generation thought leader” by Oprah Winfrey. She appears regularly as an expert on The Dr. Oz Show and has been named “a new role model” by The New York Times. She is an NYT bestselling author, and the founder of HerFuture.com, a social networking site to inspire, empower and connect women.
Now if you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ll know that one of things I attribute to my success in the recent years has been a consistent meditation and gratitude practice. I’m telling you, my mind has never been more clear or focused. In our conversation, we dig into meditation, creating daily habits, and stepping away from the crazy.
True inspiration can come when you step back and receive.
