Dr. Gabrielle Pelicci is just a rock star. If you can believe it, Gabby started her career off as a fashion model. Her father was a physician and so she was used to having every cough and cold treated with traditional medicine. Gabrielle knows there are huge benefits to medicine, but when she was growing up she realized right away medicine could not treat her stress, her eating disorders, and others alike. Gabrielle currently helps teach other wellness practitioners how to navigate their businesses in this industry, but I don't want to give too much away about Gabrielle's story. You'll just have to find out more by listening in!

Maven Moment:
Let's talk about the healer's journey for a moment. As Gabby mentioned early in the episode, we're so used to seeing perfection on the cover of magazines, TV shows, and even well-established businesses, we almost forget there's a darker side to everybody's journey. Everybody has failed at one point or another and we feel ashamed for even expressing this failure, but Gabby and I say don't! Be proud of your transformation, be proud of the story, be proud of what it took for you to get to where you are today. I also want to remind you that you will experience multiple transformations in your life time. Don't be afraid of where that journey takes you.
