The following podcast is a Dear Media production. This is Let's Be Honest with Kristen Cavallari, a podcast all about getting real and open on everything from sex, relationships, reality TV, wellness, family, and so much more. And just a fair warning, there will probably be some oversharing. Welcome in, guys, and happy New Year's Eve, which is crazy to even say. This year has flown by. I'm a little under the weather, so I'm sorry I kind of sound like this, but we're just going to make the most of it. And today's episode is absolutely perfect for the new year. I am so excited about my guest today. She's a spiritual leader and a number one New York Times bestselling author, which I know personally is a massive accomplishment. She has the Dear Gabby podcast.
She's a motivational speaker, and she's the queen when it comes to manifesting practices, which is exactly what we're going to get into today to set everyone up for the new year. Gabby Bernstein, hi. finally finally we've been talking about this for over a year i feel like i've been like dming you well i'm really excited to have you here i've been such a fan of yours for years and years which i want to tell you a funny story about how long i've been a fan of yours for but we'll get to that but i want to start with your story for the people who may not be familiar with you you are very open about the dark times you've been through the struggles you faced and how you were able to turn that into love
And so I'm curious because I know when people are in such a dark place, it's really hard to find the light. It's really hard to think there's any hope and that you're ever going to get out of that. So how were you able to do that?
I think I've been doing that over and over and over, you know, rinse and repeat. But I believe that my first really big life bottom was when I was 25 and it was 19 years ago where I was really struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. And at the time I was running a business here in New York City where I was representing nightclubs and really in the scene and really thinking that that was what life was about, right? Yeah. seen having president on my business card, getting past the velvet ropes, like just the bullshit. I was also 25, 20 years old.
That's what is important.
That is important at that time, I suppose. But for me, it was a blessing that I hit such a hard bottom so fast because my drug of choice was cocaine. So using cocaine will take you down. And thank God I was using it then and not now. I mean, I would have been dead. Definitely would have been dead. Yeah. So that drug took me down. And I, even when I was using, always had stacks of self-help books next to my bed. And I would always be reading spiritual texts and really wanted another way of perceiving the world. But obviously that was the opposite of where I was. And I remember I was at this after hours party right before I got clean. And there's people in my apartment. I was like in this like one room studio apartment.
It was like so dingy. Trash was outside the window. It was awful. And I was looking at these people and I'm like, I'm going to be a motivational speaker and a self-help book author. And they were like, nice fucking try. And... i i realized that because i would look at those books i knew that there was something more for me i knew it i felt it psychically i just i had a call and by the grace of god i made the decision we talked about this earlier it's you know getting sober is about making a decision to choose a different path and on october 2nd of 2005 i asked for a miracle i was like i need a miracle And then I heard an inner voice say to me, get clean and you will live a life beyond your wildest dreams. Wow. And that's the path I chose.
That's incredible. 19 years. That's amazing. What do you say to people who are in that dark place, though? Is it like ask for a sign, like find that inner knowing? Like how do you guide people through that?
no matter what you're facing, and that was just one of many bottoms to come. There was definitely difficult moments, as we all experience. Of course. Difficult moments in my life. And in each of those moments that I see as these opportunities to transcend or an opportunity to detour in the right direction, I would say to anyone, all you need to change is the slightest willingness to change.
