Episode notes

Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on December 7, 2022. What up, guys? It's your girl Lisa Bilyeu, and welcome back to the Women of Impact podcast, where we're diving deep into the sea of empowerment and coming out stronger on the other side. Today, I'm beyond excited to bring you an incredible episode with none other than my dear friend Nicole LePera, the holistic psychologist extraordinaire!

We are tackling something that's affected us all—those moments when we're triggered and explode in ways we immediately regret. Nicole is here to help us break it down and build ourselves back up. She's got the tools and wisdom we need to understand our triggers, navigate through them, and hold ourselves accountable without shame. And because we're such close friends, I found myself being more vulnerable than I expected, which was both surprising and cathartic. So, grab a seat and buckle up. This episode is a wild yet rewarding ride!
