Gabby Bernstein: How Your Childhood Shapes Your Mindset, Mental Health and Success | Mental Health | YAPClassic

Gabby Bernstein thought her mental health struggles were behind her after getting sober at 25. She became a bestselling author and successful entrepreneur, but years later, she was still battling anxiety, workaholism, and an overwhelming need for control.
