This is a Fan Fav episode. I’m sitting down again with the incredible Dr. Nicole LePera—The Holistic Psychologist—for a radically honest conversation about self-sabotage, self-betrayal, and how our subconscious habits keep us stuck for YEARS if we don’t wake up and intervene. Dr. Nicole doesn’t just break down the science; she offers the practical tools and tiny first steps you need to start making change, even if you’ve failed a thousand times before.
With her signature compassion and “no more hiding” approach, Nicole shows us how overthinking, meaningless routines, and people-pleasing quietly sabotage our dreams. But, most importantly, she gives you a roadmap out. It’s time to reconnect to that inner voice, build unstoppable self-trust, and finally become the hero of your own life—no matter your history.
