In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Nicole Dolan, a depth psychologist, to explore how depth psychology reveals the deep connections between the unconscious mind, dreams, and personal transformation. We discuss how working with the unconscious can unlock insights hidden beneath the surface, how spiritual dimensions influence healing, and why intuition is such a powerful tool in therapy.We dive into the role of dreams as a window into emotional and psychological states, and how they can guide the process of integrating trauma. Dr. Dolan shares how different therapeutic modalities can be applied based on individual needs, the importance of self-advocacy, and how conscious parenting starts with self-reflection and understanding our own triggers. We also touch on chronic illness, exploring how emotional and psychological roots may contribute to physical health challenges.This discussion goes beyond traditional therapy, exploring ideas like soul contracts, the mind-body-spirit connection, and the transformative power of confronting and processing pain. Whether you’re curious about depth psychology, interested in the intersection of spirituality and mental health, or looking for tools to navigate your own healing journey, this episode offers both insight and inspiration.1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, OR MOVEMENT COACHING ---------------------------------------------Buy Sara's New Book Here!Please give a review and let the community know what you think!Thanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and Sara_________________________________________________________Some of our Favorite Affiliates...Sweat it out with an Infrared Sauna from SunlightenFeeling Stressed?

Although it may not always feel like it, joy can be your choice rather than a condition of if something happens or if you get something, then you experience joy.

In this interview, I had the opportunity to sit down with  @SwamiRevatikaantaOfficial  and hear his remarkable story of transformation. From his roots in Brazil to his life as a Hindu monk, we explored deep spiritual concepts like Dharma, the soul’s purpose, and how reincarnation reflects the desires we carry.What struck me most was his emphasis on humility and compassion, not as abstract virtues, but as essential tools for understanding ourselves and others. He also explained how the divine responds to sincere desire for change and growth, often in quiet, surprising ways.Throughout the conversation, we discussed practical spiritual paths like Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga, and how each offers a way to connect with something higher. We also touched on cultural symbols and rituals.Whether you're spiritual, curious, or simply seeking clarity, I think this conversation will give you something meaningful to reflect on.1:1 SessionsPERSONALIZED HYPNOTHERAPY, TRANSFORMATIONAL COACHING, OR MOVEMENT COACHING ---------------------------------------------Buy Sara's New Book Here!Please give a review and let the community know what you think!Thanks so much for all of your support!With gratitude,Les and Sara_________________________________________________________Some of our Favorite Affiliates...Sweat it out with an Infrared Sauna from SunlightenFeeling Stressed?
