Hello <<First Name>>,

In April I attended a Yoga Journal-sponsored talk on “True Power” with Gabrielle Bernstein. She tested out material from her upcoming book The Universe Has Your Back, which addresses how to transform fear into faith in order to live a divinely guided life.

At the 700-person event, we meditated, we consciously breathed, we chanted, we sat with our (for some, uncomfortable) feelings, we shared and we learned steps to awaken our true power.

The following week I met with The New York Times best-selling self-help author and motivational speaker over a lunch of vegan cuisine at Angelic Kitchen in the East Village, for a Q&A for the Observer. We covered a lot of ground, talking about success, ISIS and her tips for happiness.

But there were a lot of interesting bits that didn’t make it into the article, like Gabby's thoughts on money, trying to get pregnant and having faith amid tragedy. Gabby said I could share those in a Connect the Dots Coaching blog post, which you can read here.
