Dear Gabby

Gabby Bernstein is a number-one New York Times bestselling author and one of the most recognized voices in modern spirituality, so when she launched Dear Gabby, it immediately attracted a massive audience. The show sits at 305 episodes with a 4.8 rating from nearly 6,000 reviews -- those are serious numbers for a spiritual growth podcast. The format that sets Dear Gabby apart is the unscripted Q and A sessions. Listeners call in or write with real problems -- relationship struggles, career paralysis, grief, self-doubt -- and Bernstein coaches them through it live on the show. It is essentially a free coaching session you get to eavesdrop on, and the rawness of these conversations makes episodes feel genuinely unpredictable. She also brings in guests ranging from neuroscientists to psychic mediums, which keeps the show from settling into a single lane. Bernstein has a gift for cutting through surface-level questions to identify what is really going on underneath, and she is not afraid to push back when a caller is stuck in a pattern. Her spiritual framework draws heavily on A Course in Miracles, meditation practices, and intuitive guidance, all filtered through years of her own recovery and personal work. The biweekly release schedule means you are not overwhelmed with content, and episodes run long enough to go deep. Fair warning: some recent reviews mention heavy advertising within episodes, which can interrupt the flow. But the substance of the coaching and conversations consistently wins people over.
