The following podcast is a Dear Media production. How many times have you held a desire only to have that inner voice come in and whisper, I don't trust that this can actually happen? Maybe you don't trust your health, maybe you don't trust that relationship, or even trust the state of the world right now. When things feel shaky, it's really easy to stay stuck in control mode, but I have got the five-step plan to move you from fear into a state of grace, into a state of trust, into a state of knowing. By the end of this episode, you won't just know about trust, you will have a practical five-step roadmap to live it. I'm going to show you how to trade your anxiety for profound sense of safety inside, so you can finally wake up and know with absolute certainty that you're going to be okay. If you're ready to stop fighting and start living with a whole new level of trust, this plan is for you.

How many of you have had those moments where you're creating those big vision boards and you have that really clear list of what it is that you want to manifest or you've got your manifestation statement really clear, but you've got that voice in the back of your mind that's like, I don't think this can actually happen. How the hell is this actually going to happen? How am I going to manifest this? I see this lack of trust all the time. I see it coming out in relationships. I don't trust that I can have the relationships that I really want, or I don't trust that I can have that career path, or that abundance that I desire, or the health that I believe I need. So many people live with that lack of trust, or a lot of people out there feeling right now, like I don't trust the world right now. I see this all over the place. I don't just see this in my classroom and in my audiences, but I see this with my close friends. I recently had lunch with my sister-in-law, Meredith, and she's also one of my best friends in the world. We're sitting down, we're having our cappuccinos, and we're just shooting the shit and talking about everything that life brings. Out of the blue, she looks at me and she says, I've got something really serious I want to talk to you about. I was like, okay, bring it on, tell me what's up. She looks at me and she's like, Gab, I don't know what my purpose is anymore. I've lost my drive at work, I feel disconnected in my relationships and my friendships. I've put all my energy into getting my boys through high school and getting them off to college, and I'm really so focused on my boys. But other than that, I don't feel like I have a sense of purpose. I stopped her in her tracks and I said, Mary, the fact that you've put all this energy into your sons and that you've got one off to college next fall, the next one has two more years before he's off to college. I was like, girlfriend, you've rocked parenthood. She even shared this text message that my nephew gave her, and it was all about how he loved her and he thought that she was the most supportive mother and all the things that she brought into his life were so meaningful. I was like, you have defined your purpose and you have made it happen. But I also didn't want to minimize the fact that she was feeling out of alignment, she was feeling disconnected from the universe. She was really looking for a sense of purpose in her career and an extensive excitement beyond just what she was bringing to her kids. I said, okay, let's dream big. Let's put it out there. Let's see it through to the end. What happens in two years from now when Eli, your youngest son, is off to college and it's his first day of college, and it's day one, you're an empty nester, you wake up in the morning and what do you do? And I started to describe it. I was like, maybe you pick up a cup of coffee and you and Luke, her husband, maybe you guys go off and you walk the dogs together down the road. And then after your walk, you both get in the car together and you drive to your office, and he goes to his office and you're in your corner office with windows, and you're now running your own consulting business. Maybe you're working 10 hours a week for me and you've got a bunch of other cool clients and you're really, really lit up with this new job that you have and this new career path and you're making more money than you've ever made before. And I keep going and going and I see her whole face light up and her whole energy starts to shift and I'm like, tell me more about what that feels like. And she's like, well, I'm working only four days a week in the office. And then one day a week, I'm just at home with the dogs and I'm working out all the time and I'm going on vacations and she gets so into it. And she's like, I have more than enough money to save. And she starts feeling so good. And I was like, let's ride that momentum of that energy. And then immediately she looks at me and she goes, Gabby, I do not trust that that can happen. And I saw her entire vibration change and her energy dropped. And I looked at her and I go, honey, you're lucky that your sister-in-law is Gabby Bernstein. Let's get you to a place where you have faith and trust, that you can create your reality, where you have faith and trust that you can live the dreams that you have. And that you can really know that it doesn't have to happen tomorrow, that it can happen in the right time and order. She's like, how do I do it? And I said, once again, you're sitting with your sister Gabby Bernstein. I can help you. I've got five steps. Here are the five steps to unshakable faith. And I laid them out for her. And these are the steps I'm gonna give you today. Let me tell you, as I gave these steps to Meredith, everything in her body changed. She felt so alive. She felt so empowered. And she felt so psyched to take this to the next level. And it only took a brunch for me to get there. And now I have more time with you than I had over brunch. And I'm gonna give you the exact steps that it takes, the steps that I've applied in my own life, the five steps to unshakable faith. These steps are exciting because they're practices from a new book that I'm writing. And I'm revealing them here before the book is even out in the world. And you're gonna get them now. These are steps to living with a sense of knowing and a sense of trust that your desires are real, that they are meant for you and they're coming, that there is a timeline that's better than your own, and that you can relax and let grace settle in. For 20 years, I have actually helped people all over the world. I've helped them with major crisis, addiction, depression, and even small things like wanting to change career paths or change relationships. And no matter how severe or how simple the issue was, I always had to start from the same place and ask them, are you willing to heal that part of you that doesn't trust the universe? And so before I reveal these steps to you, I want you to take that area of your life right now, that area where you feel so blocked and you feel so uncertain. And I want you to ask yourself, am I willing to heal?
