How to ACTUALLY Do the Work with Dr. Nicole LePera

Do you ever feel like no matter how much "work" you do on yourself, you still wind up stuck in the same patterns? Maybe you've read all the books, attended countless therapy sessions and done a lot of introspection — and I mean, a LOT — but the changes you want to make just aren't happening. Maybe you feel like you know all the answers, but you can't get out of the start and stop cycle you're caught up in. If you've ever felt this way… you're not alone. In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Nicole LePera, author, psychologist, and creator of the popular Instagram account @the.holistic.psychologist, where she shares her journey of inner healing and how we can all start to make real change in our lives. As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Nicole often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. She wanted more for her patients—and herself— so she began developing a united philosophy of mental, physical and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves. She shares the life-changing results she discovered along her holistic psychology journey to nearly 4 million "self-healers" on Instagram, through her programs and with her new book "How to Do the Work".
