TWR 042: Overcoming Abandonment and Betrayal with Gabrielle Stone

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber has an open conversation with Gabrielle Stone. Gabrielle tells her story of abandonment and betrayal and how these old wounds propelled her to write two books and help other women in the same situation of vulnerability and confusion. We oftentimes hear the advice, “love yourself”… but sometimes a broken heart simply doesn’t know how.

Gabrielle also shares a lot about her trips through Europe, which emotions came to surface during these trips, and how she had to face old ghosts, deal with unhealed traumas, and take a deep look into her soul to let the healing begin. Through these deep processes of self-development, Gabrielle was able to write two books highlighting the importance of self-love, worthiness, and making ourselves a priority.
