When I submitted this manuscript, I sent it to my publishers and they wrote back and said,

we need to talk. And again, this is my ninth book. I'd written more than half a dozen books with this particular publisher.

I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?

No one's ever like challenged my manuscript because it was always pretty

they sent it in clean, it was good work, and it was always like let's print of course you know some line

edits but like let's print and this time they work were very concerned so they

called me and they said we're worried about you Gabby You're sharing one negative story after the next.

You're too vulnerable and you're not showing your true strength. And I responded,

my ability to be this vulnerable is my true strength.

Hey there it's light Watkins. Welcome back to the podcast. So this week I've got a very

special guest on the show. It's my dear friend Gabby Bernstein. Gabby is a number one New York Times best-selling author multiple times over

Oprah named Gabby to the Super Soul 100 list

Gabby's also been featured on the Dr. Oz show multiple times.

Gabby speaks. She writes. She vlogs. She blogs. She blogs. She's got a thriving online community.

Gabby also co-hosted a Guinness world record setting global meditation with Deepak

Chopra, and she has just released her ninth book since 2011, which is called Happy Days. So I've known Gabby personally

for several years now and what I love about her is that she is the exact same

person both on stage as she is in private. She speaks from the heart, she tells it like it is, and

Gabby is a master manifestor in every sense of the word. So it was an honor to have her on the

show and I purposely didn't go too deep into her backstory as I normally do because it's been so well documented throughout all of her books and talks and interviews.

And if you haven't heard of Gabby Bernstein before,in before, basically, Gabby grew up in New York City.

She worked in nightlife in her early 20s.
