Dr. Nicole LePera along with her partner and co-creator Jenna Weakland are on the podcast today reflecting the courage to look, share and heal.
Together they lead + co-create the SelfHealers Circle, SelfHealers Soundboard Podcast and the many offerings from The Holistic Psychologist.
As a clinical psychologist in private practice, Dr. Nicole often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients— and self— she began a journey developing a united philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves. She's the author of the #1 New York Times Bestselling Book "How To Do The Work" and her latest workbook "How To Meet Your Self" was released on December 6th.
Jenna’s healing journey began after experiencing the trauma of poverty and addiction throughout her childhood years. This led her to tumultuous teenage years and a breaking point that came in her mid 20s. After her own deep transformation, she began owning her gift for inspiring others and made a conscious choice to use her life as her greatest teaching; leading and empowering others to embark on the journey of becoming themselves. Jenna’s own vision of creating a new, holistic approach to healing divinely led her to Dr. Nicole (via Instagram).
Prior to coming across this work, I had a consciousness practice for years, meditating and journaling. What I didn’t have were the simple steps and tools to create safety in my nervous system to change the behaviors I was conscious of. Participating in the work, building internal trust by focusing on making and keeping one small promise a day has been transformational in my life. We can create safety in our nervous systems by slowing down which in a beautifully twisted way really speeds up the process.
I am grateful for Jenna and Nicole’s sustained courage to look, share and heal.
Some Highlights from this conversation with Nicole + Jenna:
- Depersonalize shame + connect internally to create safety.
- The importance of attuning + giving language to children with regards to feelings. NOT saying it’s okay when the child is clearly NOT okay.
- Create a foundation of consciousness to create change.
- It takes so much energy to stay detached from the reality of what is happening, accept reality to expand.
- Moments of authentic divine presence allows others their own cathartic release all around the world.
- The human desire for emotional attunement, to feel seen and known.
- Simplify to connect, deepen intimacy, and heal.
- Pure presence connects to the chanel – divine intelligence.
- Small steps you can take today to meet yourself.
- Create internal trust to allow, create and receive the “impossible” I’m Possible.
