We all find spirituality in different ways. Some of us are born into it. Some of us are moved by great texts or speeches. And some of us find it in our darkest hours, a guide that brings the hope and courage we need to find our way back to the light. It was this guide that found Gabby Bernstein 14 years ago when she found herself on the losing side of a battle with addiction. It was the day Gabby chose to be sober that she became a self-professed Spirit Junkie, soaking up spiritual principles, meditation practices, and anything else that helped her align with her true purpose: being a source of love and inspiration in the world. And she has indeed become a powerful source of love and inspiration for thousands and thousands of us, introducing so many people to the wonders of gratitude, manifestation, and meditation through her talks, books, and app. That’s why so many of us have been eagerly awaiting her new book, Super Attractor, and it doesn’t disappoint. The book will help you work with the universe to co-create a life beyond your wildest dreams. You'll learn to accept that life can flow, that attracting is fun, and that you don't have to work so hard to get what you want — and you will learn how to be a powerful force of love in the world, too. This conversation is equal parts fascinating and fun, and I really can’t think of a better way to prepare for the shifts of a new year than soaking in some of Gabby Bernstein’s love and wisdom.
