I Didn't Quit the Work. I Quit the Way I Worked with Gabby Bernstein

In this episode of Soberness, Cat sits down with #1 New York Times bestselling author and spiritual teacher Gabby Bernstein for a raw, funny, and honest conversation about healing, parenting, and power in the digital age. Gabby shares why she’s never had a boss, but has “quit” many old patterns that no longer served her, from unresolved trauma to limiting beliefs. She opens up about what it means to unburden yourself and change not just what you do, but how you do it.

They also talk about the responsibility that comes with having a public platform. In Gabby’s words, “We’re all the media now.” Whether you have one follower or one million, your words carry energy, and that energy has consequences.

And in one of the most memorable stories, Gabby reflects on a parenting moment during Covid lockdowns when her son shouted “f*ck you” at her. Instead of reacting with punishment, she chose humor and compassion, a choice that instantly diffused the pressure in their home and reminded her that sometimes laughter is the most powerful release. This conversation is equal parts grounding and liberating, offering perspective on:

👀 How to “quit” the ways of working and living that keep you stuck

👀 Why everyone with a platform has power, and how to use it responsibly

👀 The unexpected lessons that come from parenting in difficult times If you’re ready for a mix of wisdom, honesty, and a few good laughs, you won’t want to miss this one.
