Impact Theory
About this episode

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.” Ama
