How did Gabby Bernstein's nightlife career impact her?

Gabby Bernstein 0:22
Being a young entrepreneur, I started my first company when I was 20. That became my new God. I think the first decade of my career, maybe I had five or six books at that point. Interviewed on Oprah, Next Generation Thought Leader. It was like sort of benchmarks that I was just going towards. And by the time I was 25, I had a serious cocaine addiction. I can't remember things. I'm not nice to people anymore. I remember having an intern. She'd been working for me for a year and I did not remember her name. That was how bad my brain had fried from the drugs and partying. I recognized that I couldn't go on like that. And I said a prayer. In that moment, I heard this inner voice say to me, Around 35, I hit a huge bottom. Then I had a panic attack.

I am so excited for this conversation. I feel like I've been waiting for you to come on the podcast for like years now. And finally, here you are. So thank you for joining us. I have arrived. I'm here. So when I was researching about you, I found out that you were really spiritual even since a really young age. You learned how to meditate from your mother. And these days, everybody knows you as this big spiritual guru, leader. But then in your 20s, You got into the nightlife in New York City and you started a PR firm and you kind of moved away from your spirituality.

Gabby Bernstein 3:03
Well, I definitely know that having a spiritual foundation as a child was really crucial for me in my life as the through line of my life. And my mom brought me up visiting ashrams and I was named by the gurus. And it was just a very natural thing for me to meditate, to talk about spirituality, to have a open dialogue about what that meant because it was in my home. But by the time I was in my 20s, I was really looking for my self-worth in all the wrong places. And really, being a young entrepreneur, I started my first company when I was 20, and I was representing nightclubs as a publicist. And that became my new god, really.
