Are you tired of feeling stuck?

Do you wish you could break free from the self-destructive patterns that hold you back?

If so, buckle up for this jaw-dropping conversation with Dr. Nicole LePera — aka The Holistic Psychologist.

Back for her second appearance on the show, Nicole returns to talk about her groundbreaking framework for self discovery, and why meeting your true self is the key to unlocking a life that feels authentic and that makes you come truly alive.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we dive deep into the heart of self-discovery, exploring topics such as: how to identify the patterns keeping us rooted in the past, unlocking our innate ability to heal, why it can feel uncomfortable to meet our true self, the best place to start with self-discovery, the life-changing magic of asking for and receiving support, and her #1 tip for managing stress and releasing tension.

Packed with the kind of laser-sharp insights, practical wisdom and ‘aha’ moments that have made her one of the most famous psychologists on the planet, this episode promises to be nothing short of life-changing.

About Dr. Nicole LePera

Dr. Nicole LePera was trained in clinical psychology at Cornell University and the New School for Social Research. She also studied at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis.

As a clinical psychologist in private practice, Dr. Nicole LePera often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients— and for self— she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves.

She is the creator of the #SelfHealers movement where people from around the world are joining together in a community to take healing into their own hands. Her first book, How to Do the Work, has resonated within the community and Dr. Nicole is currently working on a new book launch.
