Podcasts about holistic psychologist

Dr. Nicole LePera, better known as The Holistic Psychologist, has become one of the most influential voices in personal development and mental wellness. With millions of followers, multiple New York Times bestselling books, and a mission to make psychological healing accessible to everyone, Dr. LePera has helped countless people better understand themselves and break free from destructive patterns. In this episode, Travis shares some of the most impactful lessons he learned from his conversations with Dr. LePera and explores how self-awareness, responsibility, and holistic healing can transform your life. On this episode we talk about: Why taking radical responsibility gives you more control over your future How the body stores patterns and habits that the mind alone can't overcome The hidden comfort of familiar suffering and why change feels threatening How childhood relationships shape identity, behavior, and self-perception Why true healing requires addressing the mind, body, and overall lifestyle together Top 3 Takeaways You are an active participant in your outcomes. Taking responsibility for your role in past results isn't about blame—it's about regaining control and creating better outcomes moving forward. Real change happens through both the body and the mind. Practices like movement, breathwork, meditation, and nervous system regulation can help create lasting transformation when insight alone falls short. Familiar pain often feels safer than uncertain growth. Many people remain stuck in unhealthy patterns because predictability feels less threatening than change, even when change could lead to a better life. Notable Quotes "It's not about shifting blame—it's about putting your hands back on the wheel." "Your nervous system is wired for the familiar, even when the familiar is painful." "The identity that feels most like you might actually be the thing that's holding you back the most."

Dr. John Gray, author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus and the bestselling relationship author in history, joins Dr. Tara Perry to reveal what's actually happening in your body when love feels hard. With more than 50 million books sold across 50 languages and 40 years of research behind him, John connects the biology of stress hormones directly to the communication breakdowns quietly destroying modern relationships, and shares exactly what men and women can do differently to bring those connections back to life.John also opens up about why independent women are unknowingly producing the hormones that push love away, why men's mirror neurons shut down the moment a woman says "we need to talk," and how small, intentional acts between partners can shift the entire hormonal chemistry of a relationship.KEY TAKEAWAYS02:24 Why women's growing independence has changed relationship dynamics and what it means for their hormonal balance.03:59 The three symptoms that tell you a woman's hormones are out of balance: feeling overwhelmed, resentful, or exhausted.07:44 How stress looks completely opposite in men and women at the hormonal level, and why that explains almost every relationship conflict.09:45 What actually produces estrogen in women — and why it's not massage, it's the anticipation of support.19:11 How successful women can shift from their "male side" back to their female side after a high-performance workday.25:03 Why a man's mirror neurons shut down the moment stress enters the room, and how to talk to him so they stay open.33:47 The 10-minute conversation that drops a woman's stress more effectively than a full therapy session.43:29 The "two hands up" signal John teaches women — and why every man, no exceptions, will respond to it.47:41 What the "spark" in a relationship actually is biologically, and why you can keep producing it at any age.49:45 How women in and beyond menopause can continue producing estradiol naturally using the techniques John teaches.If you're ready to take your healing to the next level, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Tara at: calendly.com/consulttara/consultRESOURCES MENTIONEDMen Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus — For Women Only by Dr. John Gray:Available at marsvenus.comDr. John Gray on YouTube:youtube.com/@JohnGrayMarsVenusHeartMath Institute: heartmath.com

Michael Rix didn't choose music — music chose him. Growing up in Faith Assembly, a cult in rural Indiana that forbade medical treatment, secular music, and nearly any form of outside connection, Michael found his escape in a homemade guitar string stretched across a punishment paddle. Today, he's an eight-instrument musician with over 24 million streams, a residency in Nashville, and a Grand Ole Opry performance to his name. His memoir, From Cult to Country: An Asthmatic's Journey to Find More Air, tells the full story — including watching his infant brother die of untreated meningitis, surviving years of stress-induced asthma without medical care, and the long road to healing that followed.In this episode, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Michael for a raw and remarkable conversation about what it costs to grow up without permission to be human, how trauma lives in the body long after the circumstances change, and why telling the truth about your story is one of the most powerful things you can do.Key Takeaways:When you're in a cult, you don't know you're in a cult (00:00:35) — Michael describes watching his father transform from a joyful, basketball-playing man into someone cold and controlled — and how noticing that contrast was one of his earliest signs that something was deeply wrong. The teachings of Hobart Freeman's Faith Assembly came in slowly, then all at once.A medical doctor who walked away from medicine (00:02:46) — Michael's father completed his residency as a heart surgeon, then quit the profession after a sermon convinced him that modern medicine was equivalent to witchcraft. Michael unpacks the twisted theology behind it — and what it cost their family when that belief was applied to their children's health.Over 300 deaths, all from treatable conditions (00:07:24) — Faith Assembly members died from dental infections, childhood illnesses, and ailments that penicillin would have resolved. Michael describes the congregation, the prosecutions that eventually followed, and the surreal reality of parents being sentenced to prison for letting their children die while trying to follow God.Stress-induced asthma and the body's way of keeping score (00:14:24) — From age 11 to 14, Michael suffered three-day asthma episodes that left him breathless on the sofa, too sick to move. No inhaler. No emergency room. It wasn't until decades later — after hearing a Nashville minister describe her own identical symptoms — that he understood his asthma was emotionally driven, his nervous system responding to a world it didn't feel safe in.Watching his brother die (00:25:24) — At 14, Michael witnessed his six-month-old brother John die of untreated meningitis. His father prayed over the infant until the final breath. Michael was standing in the living room. This is the moment the episode turns — and the anchor point from which so much of his healing work has since begun.Music as the original medicine (00:29:53) — Long before therapy or coaching, Michael found his way out through songwriting. With headphones, a CD player, and a notebook, he translated his interior world into lyrics. His album I Can See the Sun — 24 million streams — grew directly from those pages. He shares the song titles and the feelings behind them, and reflects on what it meant to finally say what he actually felt.The toxic beliefs trauma leaves behind (00:32:48) — Through a process called SoSo Prayer with a psychologist friend, Michael excavated the beliefs he'd built around his worst experiences: nobody will accept me if they know, better keep this buried, telling the truth will get me rejected. Dr. Tara connects this to the subconscious stories that run below the level of awareness — and explains why those stories often control outcomes long after the original wound has passed.What happened when Michael worked with Dr. Tara (00:34:37) — Michael describes the session: a deeply relaxed state, forgotten memories surfacing, and a palpable shift in the heaviness he'd been carrying for years. Within days, the anxiety he'd long struggled to name had lifted — and opportunities began opening around him in ways he hadn't expected. He describes feeling clear, unblocked, and no longer weighed down by a stress he couldn't locate.Ready to take your own next step?

Dr. Liz Graves didn't set out to become a doctor. She discovered chiropractic as a patient, fell in love with its foundational philosophy that the body heals from the inside out, and built a career around that principle. Today, as the founder of Back 2 Real Food, she helps people restore their metabolic health through food, cyclic nutrition strategies, and targeted amino acid therapy — without relying on willpower, calorie restriction alone, or one-size-fits-all dieting.In this episode, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Dr. Graves for a wide-ranging conversation on why so many people are doing "everything right" and still can't lose weight, what the modern food system is doing to our metabolism, and the counterintuitive strategies that actually work.Key Takeaways:The real reason diets stop working (00:07:00) — Every time you diet without recovery, your body adapts to living on less, slowing your metabolism over time. Dr. Graves explains her cyclic approach: a structured window of fat loss followed by a deliberate high-calorie phase that trains the body to metabolize more, not less.Seed oils are the #1 offender in your diet (00:16:44) — Vegetable, canola, sunflower, and safflower oils disrupt cell walls, cause inflammation at the cellular level, and impair mitochondrial function. Removing them is the first and fastest win Dr. Graves makes with every new client.Three foods worth adding right now (00:19:41) — Healthy natural fats (animal fats, olive oil, coconut oil), quality mineral-rich sea salt, and more whole foods without a label. Small additions that compound into meaningful change.Know your farmer (00:21:49) — Pesticide load, not the food itself, is driving the explosion in leaky gut, celiac, and autoimmune conditions. Dr. Graves recommends the Weston A. Price Foundation as a starting point for finding local farmers and co-ops, and makes the case that buying direct is often cheaper than buying organic at a grocery store.Targeted amino acid therapy changed everything (00:26:56) — Most people have never worked with a practitioner who assesses neurotransmitter imbalances and uses amino acids to correct them. Dr. Graves explains how depleted GABA, serotonin, and dopamine pathways fuel emotional eating, overwhelm, and burnout — and how replenishing them through targeted therapy gives people the neurological resilience to stay on course.Cortisol, stress, and weight retention (00:32:41) — Chronic low-grade stress (email, notifications, relentless demands) keeps the body in protective mode, holding weight and suppressing metabolic function. Dr. Graves connects the modern stress environment to the ancestral body we're still living in, and explains why supporting the brain matters as much as fixing the food.Body composition over the scale (00:58:06) — Dr. Graves uses body composition testing (muscle, fat, water, bone) rather than BMI or scale weight to track real progress. She shares the story of a five-foot-one woman with 105 pounds of muscle who technically "should" weigh 100 pounds — and why that framing is misleading and discouraging.What results actually look like (00:47:24) — On Dr. Graves' six-week protocol, most people lose about 10 pounds and drop one clothing size. On the nine-week plan, 15 to 30 pounds and two clothing sizes. She describes it as achieving six to nine months of focused progress in six to nine weeks — structured and demanding while you're in it, but consistently described as the easiest thing clients ever did when they look back.Ready to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

I was so excited for this one, and Nicole did not disappoint. Dr. Nicole LePera, the Holistic Psychologist, trained at Cornell University and the New School for Social Research, is the founder of SelfHealers Circle and the author of three books including the number one New York Times bestseller How to Do the Work. In this conversation, Nicole and I go deep into covert narcissism, how growing up with emotional unavailability shapes every relationship that follows, what re-parenting actually looks like in the body, and why healing is never a straight line from A to B. I had so many personal realisations listening back to this one, about my own relational blueprint, my expectations, and how narcissism in my family has quietly shaped how I show up with others. Connect with Nicole:theholisticpsychologist.comwww.instagram.com/the.holistic.psychologistWORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttatchment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"We all become self-focused when we feel threatened — that's survival. But when someone is consistently unable to hold anyone else's perspective, that's a different pattern entirely." — Dr. Nicole LePera"I was a million miles away, demanding someone feel close to me — while every instinct in my body was pushing them away. That was the contradiction I had to face." — Dr. Nicole LePera"Re-parenting begins in the body.

What happens when you build the life everyone admires — and it still doesn't feel like yours?Dr. Jeremy Goldberg knows that feeling well. A behavioral scientist with a doctorate, publishing research on the Great Barrier Reef, working alongside world-class scientists for the Australian government — and yet something was quietly draining out of him. In this conversation with Dr. Tara Perry, Jeremy shares how he learned to hear the difference between the heart whisper and the fear shout, why he walked away from a prestigious career to buy a van and wander through America, and what it actually means to live in integrity when the outside of your life looks perfect.In this episode, you'll discover:Why high achievers often feel the deepest emptiness — and what that signal is really pointing toThe "worst case scenario" mindset shift that gave Jeremy the courage to walk away from his PhD careerWhat "heart whispers vs. fear shouts" means and how to tell the two apart in your own lifeHow Jeremy's side project, Long Distance Love Bombs, grew from internet posts into a global coaching and speaking brandWhy chasing happiness at all costs may actually be the thing keeping you stuckThe power of wholeness over happiness — and why shadow, contrast, and difficulty are what give life its depthWhat becoming a father taught Jeremy about presence, feeling deeply, and what it means to truly arriveResources & Links Mentioned:Long Distance Love Bombs website: longdistancelovebombs.comDr. Jeremy Goldberg on Instagram: @longdistancelovebombsJeremy's book: It'll Be Okay and You Will Be TooBook a free intro coaching call with Jeremy at longdistancelovebombs.comReady to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

Dr. Christine Bishara, gut health physician, founder of From Within Medical in New York City, and author of The Gut Revolution, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a live Q&A exploring the science of the gut-brain connection and what most people are getting wrong about healing from the inside out.Dr. Bishara draws on her personal journey, losing over 70 pounds as a teenager through food, intermittent fasting, and microbiome science before most of the research even existed, to lay out a practical, back-to-basics framework for optimizing mood, metabolism, and immunity through the gut.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:00 The conscious mind processes 30 bits of information per second. The subconscious processes 40 million. Lasting healing requires reaching the elephant, not just the rider.07:39 Most Americans are eating in a way that keeps their gut in digestion mode around the clock, leaving no time for immune function or neurotransmitter production.10:04 Inflammation begins in the mouth. Oral microbiome imbalances can deposit arterial plaque directly into the heart.15:34 Serotonin requires tryptophan, an amino acid the body cannot make on its own. Mood disorders are often a nutrient deficiency problem, not just a chemistry problem.22:15 Acetylcholine controls the speed of neuronal communication. Brain fog and sluggish thinking are often tied to low healthy fat intake, not willpower.29:25 Chronic cortisol elevation keeps the body in fat storage mode. It is persistent stress, not short-term spikes, that drives chronic inflammation and disease.45:37 The biggest intermittent fasting mistakes: not eating enough fiber, fasting too long, and confusing restriction with healing. For women, prolonged fasts can backfire by triggering cortisol.54:47 Beneficial gut bacteria produce postbiotics that activate GLP-1 receptors naturally. You can get the satiety effect without medication, just eat the vegetables first.58:13 Children who had high levels of bifidobacteria were largely protected from severe COVID outcomes. Bifidobacteria, which thrive on plant fiber, is the single most important bacteria in the microbiome.01:00:26 Studies show meditation and prayer increase lifespan by an average of five years. Heart-brain coherence directly affects immune function at the cellular level.RESOURCES MENTIONEDFrom Within Medical — Dr. Bishara's practice and free gut health starter guide (50 best foods, healthy oils, healthy sweeteners)The Gut Revolution — Dr. Bishara's book, available in print and on AudibleDr. Christine Bishara on Instagram — @dr.christinebWork with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

Traver Boehm, founder of the Uncivilized Men's Movement, two-time TEDx speaker, men's coach, and author of Today I Rise, Man Uncivilized, and 28 Days in Darkness, joins Dr. Tara Perry to explore the root causes of male suffering, why healing men is the key to ending harm caused by men, and what it actually took to spend 49 days alone in complete darkness.Traver draws on his background in MMA, professional bodyguarding, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to make a case for a new masculinity, one that is raw, relational, and built on brotherhood rather than isolation.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:03 Toxic masculinity messaging has left a generation of young men ashamed of natural desire. 03:35 Ending harm caused by men requires first addressing the pain that men are carrying. 07:38 Men in crisis stay silent because every outlet has taught them nobody cares. 10:34 Traver chose a 28-day dark retreat to discover who he was beyond physical achievement. 16:25 On his first retreat, the facility had never let anyone attempt more than three days. 22:41 Men are purpose-driven, and telling them they are not needed creates dangerous disconnection. 30:51 Owning your mistakes and attacking your resistance makes 90% of relationship problems disappear. 36:08 Brotherhood and high relational standards are the key to welcoming men back to the table. 38:40 Men do their best when given a place to be raw, real, and in relationship with their anger. 01:01:15 The four pillars Traver teaches: curiosity, physical competency, skill development, and relationship.RESOURCES MENTIONEDMan Uncivilized — Traver's men's movement, coaching, and community hub 28 Days in Darkness — Traver's latest book on his first dark retreat experience Today I Rise — Traver's book for navigating divorce and profound personal loss Traver Boehm on Instagram — @traverboehmWork with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

Steven Twohig, international speaker, author, and founder of Mastering Change, joins Dr. Tara Perry to discuss what happens when you stop running from your shadow and start treating it as a guide. Steven's story begins in a basement, where as a three-year-old he endured abuse, starvation, and threats — and it ends with 26 years of shadow work, over 200 trained guides, and a growing global community built around one core idea: you are the medicine.In this episode, Steven breaks down why the patterns we can't escape aren't bad luck — they're the mind looping unresolved trauma until we're willing to look at it. From the boardroom to the carpet ceremony, from Tony Robbins' stage to a bathtub suicide attempt, this conversation goes deep.Key Takeaways01:07 Shadow work isn't spiritual theory, it's the most practical tool Steven knows. 03:12 The first time someone turns within, they see they're both the warden and the prisoner. 05:00 Even a skilled guide catches himself deflecting fear — on the way to the vet. 09:48 Childhood torture, addiction, and multiple suicide attempts shaped Steven's entire path. 12:15 Jung was right: what you don't address will appear in your life as fate. 16:12 Projection isn't a metaphor, it's a measurable dynamic playing out in real time. 17:44 "Shadow dancing" is why couples keep triggering the same wound in each other. 21:53 The Shadow Work app and 65+ online integration groups are free entry points. 28:05 Family constellation parallels: when the container is right, trauma peels away. 47:57 The 100th monkey effect, HeartMath, and why 144,000 people doing the work could shift everything. 54:02 High achievers at peak performance are often running hardest from their core wound. 1:08:44 The mind wants to rewrite itself — you just have to stop blocking it.Resources MentionedTurning Within: Reclaiming Your Soul from Shadow by Steven TwohigShadow Work App — free download, includes the 28-question Wheel of Life quizmasteringchange.com — full program and guide training hubshadowceremony.com — live immersion carpet work (next event: September 18–20, Orlando)Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

Explore resources, books, and conversations that help you reparent your inner child, build emotional resilience, and create a life rooted in wholeness and abundance. Explore More Resources Why Reparenting the Inner Child Matters Now More Than Ever In this deeply moving episode, Dr. LePera explores the concept of the “inner child” — the emotional self formed through early experiences, conditioning, relationships, and survival patterns. She explains how unresolved childhood wounds often shape adult behaviors, financial habits, relationships, self-worth, stress responses, and even our ability to experience joy and peace. The discussion powerfully aligns with the foundational principles of Holistic Wealth — the globally recognized framework created by Keisha Blair that emphasizes wealth beyond money alone, encompassing emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, relational, and financial well-being. Throughout the episode, listeners are reminded that healing is not a luxury — it is essential infrastructure for a resilient life. The Defining Question: What Does “Resilient Wealth” Mean? One of the most compelling moments in the episode comes when Keisha Blair asks Dr. LePera: “What does Resilient Wealth mean to you in light of the Global Holistic Wealth Month theme?” Dr. LePera's response reframes wealth in a profoundly human way. Rather than measuring wealth solely through accumulation or external success, she speaks about the ability to remain grounded, emotionally regulated, adaptable, and connected to self during periods of uncertainty and disruption. True wealth is the capacity to sustain well-being through change. In a world marked by economic instability, burnout, chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, and rising anxiety, the conversation becomes larger than psychology alone. It becomes a roadmap for modern resilience. Healing as a Form of Wealth One of the most transformative themes in the episode is the idea that healing itself is a form of wealth. For years, society has separated emotional wellness from conversations about success, prosperity, and achievement. But this episode challenges that outdated model directly. Keisha Blair and Dr. LePera discuss how unhealed emotional patterns can silently impact financial decision-making, burnout cycles, relationship dynamics, productivity, nervous system regulation, self-sabotage, and long-term health. By reconnecting with and “reparenting” the inner child, individuals can begin building lives rooted not in survival, but in intentionality, peace, alignment, and resilience. A Global Conversation on Modern Well-Being As the founder of Global Holistic Wealth Day and Global Holistic Wealth Month, Keisha Blair continues to lead an international movement redefining what prosperity looks like in the modern world. This episode with Dr. Nicole LePera expands that conversation even further by bridging psychology, nervous system healing, emotional resilience, and sustainable well-being. Together, they explore a future where resilience is not about “pushing through” exhaustion, but about building internal systems strong enough to support peace, healing, adaptability, and authentic living. Why This Episode Resonates So Deeply What makes this episode particularly powerful is its honesty. There are no unrealistic promises of perfection. Instead, listeners are invited into a compassionate conversation about becoming aware of inherited patterns, reconnecting with the self, and building lives that are emotionally sustainable. The episode serves as a reminder that resilience is built internally, emotional healing is foundational, and the most meaningful form of wealth may ultimately be inner peace. Listen to the Episode The latest episode of the Holistic Wealth Podcast featuring Dr. Nicole LePera is now available. It is a must-listen conversation for anyone interested in emotional healing, nervous system wellness, resilience, personal growth, mental health, sustainable success, and building true Holistic Wealth in uncertain times.

In this episode of Next Level Healing, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with New York Times bestselling author, CPA, entrepreneur, and financial literacy advocate Sharon Lechter, co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and long-time partner of both the Rich Dad Company and the Napoleon Hill Foundation. Sharon's Origin Story: Money at the Dinner TableSharon grew up lower middle class in a family of entrepreneurs, living between her father's used car lot and her mother's beauty shop, and helping manage rental properties from the age of 10. [4:50] [5:00]Her family also owned orange groves; her father taught her that the oranges were cashflow while the land itself would grow in value—land that later became part of SeaWorld in Orlando. [5:10]Money, assets, and investing were regular dinner-table topics, shaping her understanding of wealth early on. [5:10] [5:24]She became the first in her family to attend college, was the only woman in her accounting classes, and one of the first women in public accounting in the late 1970s, where she learned how companies succeed and fail. [5:24] [5:51]From Talking Books to Rich Dad Poor DadSharon helped build a global company around the first talking children's books with sound strips, licensing with Disney, Warner Brothers, Sesame Street, and Marvel Comics to get kids excited about reading. [6:17] [6:35]After selling that company and moving to Arizona, her oldest son went to college, was lured into credit card offers with “free pizza” and “free t-shirts,” and ended up in serious debt—an experience that took him seven years to repair and ignited Sharon's lifelong commitment to financial literacy. [6:50] [7:12] [7:36]In December 1992, she dedicated the rest of her career to financial education, initially working with school systems. [7:56]Meeting Robert Kiyosaki & Building a Global BrandSharon's husband, an intellectual property attorney, introduced her to Robert Kiyosaki, who had created the board game CASHFLOW. [8:11] [8:33]At the first beta test, Sharon was the only player to get out of the “rat race,” and she loved how the game aligned with her teachings on investing, assets, and the difference between active and passive income. [8:33] [8:46]Drawing on her experience commercializing products, she helped Robert bring the game to market. When he wanted to price it at $200 in 1996, she suggested writing a brochure to explain his philosophy and justify the investment. [9:09] [9:21]That “brochure” became Rich Dad Poor Dad, which they co-wrote and never expected to become a standalone phenomenon; their company was originally branded Cashflow Technologies. [9:38] [9:54]Over a 10-year partnership, Sharon served as CEO, co-authored 15 books, created multiple games and infomercial products, and launched the Rich Dad Advisors series, helping build what became the world's largest personal finance brand in 110 countries and 51 languages. [9:54] [10:09] [10:28]Leaving Rich Dad & New Doors OpeningAfter a decade, Robert wanted to move into franchising, which Sharon felt was not a good model for franchisees; she chose to leave, emphasizing that sometimes you must close one door for others to open. [10:28] [10:41]Shortly after, she was appointed by President George W. Bush to the first President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, later serving under President Obama as well—an opportunity she believes she would not have had if she'd stayed at Rich Dad. [1:29] [10:52] [11:08]In March 2008, the Napoleon Hill Foundation invited her to help reinvigorate Hill's teachings, leading her into the world's largest personal development brand. [11:08]

We all carry the imprint of our earliest years. Childhood is brief, yet its impact is lifelong. Some parts of us were met with love while other parts were met with silence, criticism, or disapproval. Many of us still protect the parts of ourselves that once felt unsafe. As adults, we often fall into patterns that feel irrational or out of character – shutting down, lashing out, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging. Beneath those reactions lies our inner child, a younger part of us still trying to get its needs met the only way it knows how. While we can't change what happened, we can change how it lives within us and impacts our lives today. In this episode of the podcast, Cornell trained holistic psychologist Nicole LePera will guide us through how we can meet our inner child to begin repairing our oldest wounds, and to question the stories we've long believed about who we have to be.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver My Guest: Dr. Nicole LePera is the creator of The Holistic Psychologist, a platform with over 12 million followers, and the author of three New York Times bestselling books, including her newest, Reparenting the Inner Child. Key Learnings: Nicole was good at everything, so struggling meant failure. Her family's message was clear: success in life meant financial security through academics or athletics. The implicit message: you're worthy when you're bringing home A's, when you're winning the softball game. She quickly learned to identify things she wasn't immediately good at and just not pursue them. She filtered life, staying on the path of comfort. Your childhood adaptations don't leave. Nicole calls it the inner child. It doesn't matter how old you are or how far beyond your childhood you think you've gotten. It impacts you in reactions, in identities, in your way of being. What was once your best attempt at safety, security, or connection still drives behavior today. Not all adaptations are problems. Many continue to benefit us. The question isn't whether the adaptation is good or bad. The question is: are you choosing it, or is it choosing you? Nicole's drive for achievement created opportunities. It led to massive impact. But she still has the overachiever who wants to blow past her limits and say yes when she's exhausted but means no.   The Holistic Psychologist started in 2018, and Nicole had no idea it would explode. She was living in Philadelphia, operating within a private practice model. Within the first year, people from around the world were resonating, joining, and interested in working with her in this new way. But at the beginning, even learning how to speak on camera was such a big challenge. Her partner would say, "Say what you said to me earlier," and Nicole's mind would go blank. Just putting a camera in front of her was near debilitating. Boundaries are about knowing who and when to take feedback from. Sometimes the feedback from a loved one, while uncomfortable, is helpful to hear. Other times, it's a helpful boundary where you're not opening yourself up to the opinion of someone who has a different vantage point or is speaking from their own projection. That's allowed Nicole to create safety in herself, confidence in herself, which translates to flow. Several years in, Nicole's dad sat front row at her book event, crying with pride. In the beginning, her dad and mom would ask, "Why do you have to use us as the example? Why do you have to share about our family?" Nicole would explain: " This is the only experience I can speak from, and our family's experience is so common. To see her dad, who came from a family largely shut down emotionally, crying in understanding and pride, was overwhelming and validating for why she does this work. At 13, Nicole was getting straight A's but unraveling on the inside. She was socially shy, struggled to order food at restaurants, and had very few friends. Then she discovered alcohol and pot made her feel comfortable. That anxiety she lived with suddenly felt freer. She would stumble through the living room at night, her parents already in bed, then wake up at 6:00 AM the next day, pitch a softball tournament, win it, and seemingly be fine. Her parents had no idea. She was very good at suppressing her emotions and coping. By contrast, on the surface, it seemed like she was doing well. They were a family who didn't really talk about emotions, so they had no indication. The drive itself isn't the problem. It's the energy that inspires action. Nicole's dad worked into the night to support the family. Her mom would say, "why not 100?" when Nicole brought home a 96. That translated into drive and ambition. That's not a problem. For a lot of us, it's the energy that inspires action and translates into impact. It can become a problem when we have no limits to our working, where we exhaust ourselves and burn out, where we don't feel worthy in moments of inaction or rest. The marker of a healthy relationship with drive is flexibility. When you're forced to stop because you're sick, exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, or someone else needs you, can you be flexible enough to do that without feeling terrible about yourself? The ability to choose to say, "Okay, contextually speaking, I need to pause," and still feel okay about yourself, that's the marker.   Hold space for both: acknowledging harm and taking agency. Other people have contributed to our discomfort. Maybe parents didn't meet our needs. If we don't acknowledge that, we suppress. But we also can't stay stuck in anger and resentment. A true boundary isn't demanding that someone else be different. That's still giving away your agency. A true boundary is saying: you've hurt me, and I'm gonna take responsibility that I'm allowing it. I'm gonna show up differently now to limit the impact of what you're doing. Talking about trauma can keep it alive in your body. Trauma doesn't live in logic and understanding. It lives in your body. It lives in habits and reactions. Your mind is so powerful that you can think something and feel as if you're living it in that moment. If you're going week after week talking about all the things that are hurting you, you're continuing to keep that alive in your body. Holistic psychology bridges the gap between mind and body. Traditional psychology focused solely on the mind. The CBT model says if we think differently, we produce different feelings, then different actions. But Nicole was missing the body. Our nervous system, our earliest environments, neurobiologically created patterns wired into us. Science now shows we maintain the ability to change throughout our lives. Drop into your body. Where is your attention right now? Are you feeling your muscles, your heels impacting the earth, where you're sitting? Or are you so lost in thought you're disconnected? Jaw clenched? Fists clenched? Shoulders up to your ears? Holding your breath? Breathing short and quick from your chest? These are markers that your body is under stress right now. Once you have that information, make small shifts. Slow and deepen your breath. Elongate your exhale just a little longer than your inhale. If your movements are quick, slow them down. If you're holding tension, release it. Now you're regulating your body so you can show up differently. Meditation is just awareness. It's not sitting cross-legged trying to make your mind quiet. Life can be a meditative experience. Thoughts are helpful. They're where we create things, have insights. The goal isn't a blank, quiet mind. The goal is awareness. Nicole calls it her spaceship. Her protective habit for so long has been to dissociate, to disconnect. She pursued clinical psychology where she can live in her mind. When what she's feeling in her body is too uncomfortable, the quickest path out is to distract herself with someone else, with the next achievement. This work has made Nicole's relationships more real. More authentic. More grounded in vulnerability, messiness, emotion as opposed to curated versions of who she thinks she needs to be. What she's most familiar with is dealing with all her feelings alone. The Harvard study found one thing leads to a happy life: love. Ryan referenced the longitudinal Harvard study that has gone on for 90 years studying what leads to a happy life. At the end of the day, it's love. The ones who live the happiest, longest, most fruitful lives are surrounded by people they love and who love them.  What a gift it is to be loved for all of yourself, not just the perfect parts. When you can show someone all of yourself, your messiness, the things you hid and kept secret, and still be loved. The overachiever gets to show more parts of herself, and people don't abandon her. They stay. That's the love most of us are striving for. We are all a bunch of messy humans trying to figure it out as we go. Nicole's champagne moment a year from now: presence and beingness. Whatever is happening or not happening in her life, she's celebrating the celebration of that moment. Being alive. Feeling the gratitude, the joy. Not focusing on what was produced to give her the opportunity to celebrate, but being present to the life around her. The taste of the champagne, the humans surrounding her in that moment.  Reflection Questions Which childhood adaptations are still driving your behavior today? Are you choosing them, or are they choosing you? When was the last time you actually dropped into your body and checked: am I tense? Am I holding my breath? Am I stressed? Who in your life sees all of you, not just the polished version, and loves you anyway?

This podcast episode of Next Level Healing features Dr. Tara Perry speaking with fitness industry expert Kevin Steel, PhD, about the transformative benefits of exercise for brain health, anti-aging, and overall well-being.Kevin Steel brings decades of experience in health and fitness, having completed multiple Ironman competitions and holding a PhD in exercise physiology with a subspecialty in nutrition. He spent his career working with everyone from corporate executives to athletes, eventually becoming director of education research and member services for the world's largest health club company. The conversation centers on Steel's assertion that exercise is like a miracle drug - "if science could put it inside a pill, people would be lined up around the block, willing to pay anything to get it". He emphasizes that only 7% of chronic diseases are genetic, meaning 93% are lifestyle-related and preventable. Key benefits of exercise discussed include:Brain Health: Regular exercise regenerates neurons and expands gray and white matter in the brain [13:52]. It stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which acts like "fertilizer for your brain" [15:32]. Exercise can reduce amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's and dementia [13:52].Mental Health: Steel references Dr. John Ratey's book "Spark," which demonstrated that exercise therapy can achieve the same or better results than pharmaceutical drugs for treating anxiety, depression, and stress [21:12] [21:38].Physical Health: Exercise improves cardiovascular function, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and can even reverse type 2 diabetes when combined with healthy eating [18:58] [16:32] [18:01].Children's Health: A study in Naperville, Illinois showed that structured exercise programs eliminated ADHD symptoms in children, allowed them to go off medications like Ritalin, and dramatically improved academic test scores [23:05] [23:34] [23:44].Steel advocates for a whole food, plant-based diet, noting concerns about hormones and antibiotics in mass-produced animal products [34:11]. He emphasizes that exercise doesn't require expensive equipment - simple activities like walking 30 minutes daily cost nothing but provide significant health benefits [29:33].Despite these proven benefits, only 26% of American adults exercise regularly, and only 18-20% belong to health clubs [28:34]. Steel attributes this partly to doctors receiving little education about exercise science in medical school, leaving patients without specific guidance when told to "eat better and exercise" [30:53] [31:41].The episode concludes with Steel's contact information for those seeking more guidance: LinkedIn at Kevin D Steel PhD: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevindsteelephd and email at KDsteelphd@yahoo.comWork with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

They discuss what it's like being real and messy in the public eye, and the role the fawn response plays in that experience. They explore how the inner child shows up in daily life, how tending to one's capacity expands the work outside of the session or practice space, and how to reparent without merging with the inner child and regressing. They also discuss humanizing others without bypassing themselves — or their own needs — in the process.You can order Nicole's book here: https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250393135/reparentingtheinnerchild/You can read more about, and register for, the Navigating ADHD, Freeze & Overwhelm 6-month program, here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-adhd You can register for the FREE Food Therapy session here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/beans You can pre-order the book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

What if the reason you feel stuck isn't about your job, your partner, or your motivation, but a wound you've been carrying since childhood? In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Nicole LePera — better known as “The Holistic Psychologist” and author of Reparenting the Inner Child — reveals why your adult patterns are NOT random…and why insight alone will never set you free. Dr. Nicole LePera breaks down the 9 different childhood wounds silently shaping your adult relationships, like: - If you couldn't trust a caregiver → why you're guarded, suspicious, and prone to self-sabotage - If you had too much responsibility → why you're a compulsive caretaker battling burnout and weak boundaries - If you were rejected → why perfectionism and people-pleasing became your survival strategy She also reveals: - Why “inner child work” feels like being pulled into an alternate timeline (how your nervous system literally drags you back into the past!) - Hidden damage of being a parentified child, and the burnout, resentment, and boundary struggles that follow you into adulthood - Shocking prevalence of sibling abuse, and how it fractures the inner child in ways most people never acknowledge - Real dangers of corporal punishment (& what it wires into a child's nervous system) - Why denying a child's emotional reality creates lifelong shame - Shame 101: What it actually is, how it's different from guilt, how it lives in the body - How unresolved emotions block your intuition and keep you from your life path Dr. LePera explains how childhood wounds don't just live in your memories — they live in your body. Chronic tension. Digestive issues. Hyper-independence. Emotional numbness. “Survival mode” that you thought was normal. (It's not.) We also unpack: - Can you truly heal if you can't reconcile with your parents? - How emotionally immature caregivers were shaped by their wounds - Why it's especially hard to admit you need inner child healing when you're a parent yourself - What people are getting completely wrong about boundary-setting - Delicate balance between honesty with kids & preserving parental authority - Why it's never too late to become the parent you didn't have - Shadow work: The unconscious forces driving your projections & sabotaging your relationships And maybe most importantly…How to have grace for yourself while making small, powerful shifts. Because healing isn't about blaming your parents. It's about reclaiming your power. It's about realizing survival mode was adaptive, but it doesn't have to be your forever state. If you've ever thought: “Why do I keep doing this?” “Why do I feel shame for no reason?” “Why can't I just change?” This conversation might be the missing piece. On the other side of this work? Clarity. Regulation. Authenticity. Hope. And proof that it's never too late to come home to yourself.

What if the patterns holding you back aren't a character flaw — but a survival response your nervous system learned before you even had words for it? In this episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, Kelly sits down with #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr. Nicole LePera — known to millions as The Holistic Psychologist — to explore her groundbreaking new book, Reparenting the Inner Child. Dr. Nicole has redefined how we think about healing by weaving together psychology, nervous system science, and the kind of honest self-awareness that creates real, lasting change. Together, they unpack why so many of us keep repeating emotional patterns even when we fully understand them intellectually — and why understanding alone is not enough. Dr. Nicole reveals how our earliest experiences wire our nervous system, shape the roles we play in relationships, and form the deep-seated beliefs we carry through life about our worth, safety, and belonging. You'll learn why your reactions aren't overreactions — they're echoes. The inner child isn't a metaphor. It's emotional memory stored in the body, running protective programs formed long before you had the capacity to choose differently. This episode also explores the profound link between childhood experiences and adult physical health, how modern life quietly overtaxes an already-stressed nervous system, and what it actually looks like to begin reparenting yourself with practical tools. If you've ever felt like you're doing the work but something still isn't shifting, this conversation is your next step. Key Moments You'll Love ✨:
