I am delighted to reconnect with Dr. Nicole LePera today. Trained in clinical psychology, she is a holistic psychologist whose work explores the interconnections among the mind, body, and soul, incorporating holistic lifestyle and psychological wellness practices. She has written multiple New York Times bestselling books, most recently Reparenting the Inner Child. In today's conversation, we unpack what the inner child really means from a clinical perspective. We explore how understanding your childhood wounds intellectually differs from truly re-parenting yourself at the nervous system level, and how perimenopause and menopause influence the way we view the world. We look at ACE scores and the biology of childhood adversity, how ACE scores measure what happened to us, but fail to measure resilience, protective factors, or the capacity for healing. We examine how reactive parents shape our nervous system, and how that shows up as hypervigilance, emotional scanning, and self-erasure, and how the fawn response can lead to chronic people-pleasing, relentless accommodation, and an inability to say no. We also cover how epigenetics and lifestyles influence behavioral patterns, critical parenting, stress addiction, gut-brain dysregulation, and the disruptive effects of vagal tone gadgets. This is truly one of those must-listen conversations! I love Dr. LePera's grounded and practical approach to helping people work through their childhood experiences and advocate for themselves. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How childhood wounds become stored in the nervous system rather than just the mind Why understanding your dysfunctional habits intellectually will not change the emotional patterns that drive them How perimenopause and menopause can magnify unresolved emotional patterns What ACE scores measure and what they fail to capture How reactive parenting can lead to hypervigilance and emotional scanning, even in safe environments Dr. LePera describes the fawn response and explains how children learn to over-accommodate others, suppress their own needs, and avoid conflict. How chronic stress becomes a learned response, and how stress responses can be passed across generations   How chronic stress and a dysregulated nervous system can influence gut function and microbiome balance Why it's essential to return your attention to your body in the present moment to begin healing Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

Send us Fan MailIn this week's episode 353 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I'm sharing some of the biggest insights that emerged after analyzing 12 different coaching sessions with clients struggling with boundaries, self-care, guilt, resentment, and emotional overwhelm.What became clear is that most people do not actually need more information about boundaries. Many already know what healthy boundaries are intellectually. The deeper struggle is what happens internally when boundaries become emotionally real.I also share an important recovery resource called Survivors of Incest Anonymous (SIA) and why it's so important that more people know this fellowship exists.Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:Why the real issue is often not boundary-setting, but staying connected to yourself during emotional discomfortHow people override their own needs, limits, and truth the moment guilt, anxiety, or tension appearThe difference between discomfort and actual dangerWhy over-giving and people-pleasing are often attempts to create emotional safetyWhat internal safety really means and why it's one of the deepest forms of self-careThis episode explores how many people are not reacting to actual events, but to anticipated guilt, rejection, disappointment, or conflict. And how learning to tolerate emotional discomfort without abandoning yourself changes everything.Because real self-care is not about perfection, productivity, or keeping everyone happy. It's about learning how to stay emotionally anchored in yourself when discomfort appears instead of automatically overriding your own feelings, needs, and limits.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.Thank you for listening!

It's overwhelming to exist in this time, when the line between access and disparity feels both so thin and so wide.

Inner child healing isn't easy work. For people living with complex trauma, it can be one of the most neurobiologically specific processes in trauma recovery. And the version most people have been handed doesn't come close to touching it.In this episode we get into what inner child healing actually is, what the young part is really doing in your nervous system, and what reparenting actually looks like and what might get in the way.In this episode:Why the inner child wound shows up as exhaustion, automatic accommodation, and disconnection from your own needs more often than it shows up as a recognizable emotional reactionWhat emotional flashbacks are and why the inner critic is often the young part's most audible signalThe difference between toxic shame and regular shame, and why that distinction matters for healingWhy insight dissolves after therapy sessions and what's actually happening when the healing doesn't landWhat reparenting actually is at the neurological level, including the grief piece that most content skips entirelyFour body-based practices for building a real relationship with the young part of you that never got what it neededIf your nervous system is chronically dysregulated and you want somewhere to start, grab the free Dysregulation SOS Toolkit here.It's a practical, body-based resource for getting out of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn in real time.Clinical frameworks referenced in this episode include Janina Fisher's structural dissociation model, Internal Family Systems, and Pete Walker's work on complex PTSD and emotional flashbacks.Thanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!Be sure to follow, share and give us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Follow on Instagram: @sarahherstichlcsw Follow on TikTok: @sarahherstichlcswLearn more about EMDR & trauma therapy in Pennsylvania with Reclaim TherapyThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

Dr. Lindsay Gibson joins Forrest to explore how we can reparent ourselves, recover from emotionally immature parenting, and develop greater emotional maturity. They discuss what emotional maturity actually is, the "good enough" parent, the voices we internalize, and how adults can begin to give themselves the internal security and emotional attunement they missed in childhood. Other topics include why feeling misunderstood is so painful, the lifelong dance between connection and autonomy, and the hidden costs of authoritarian parenting.  About our guest: Dr. Lindsay Gibson is a clinical psychologist and bestselling author of a number of books, including Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and her new book, How to Raise an Emotionally Mature Child.

So many of the ways we struggle with health — the self-sabotage, the all-or-nothing thinking, the inability to receive care without guilt — are not adult problems. They are old wounds wearing adult clothing. The health rules we live by were often written before we were ten years old — and most of us are still following them. Courtney introduces the concept of reparenting as a health practice, drawing on Dr. Lindsay Gibson's work, and offers a powerful reframe: taking care of yourself isn't discipline, it's an act of love toward the younger version of you who needed it most.

Dr. Rick and Forrest explore how we can become securely attached to ourselves: building an internal foundation that lets us connect with others, regulate our emotions, and explore the world from that secure base. They talk about how this is supposed to develop in childhood, why it doesn't for many people, and what we can actually do about it as adults. Topics include the research on early attachment, why so many of us arrive at adulthood with a strong inner critic and weak inner support, and four practical paths forward: creating a coherent narrative about your past, reparenting yourself, rescaling your sense of self in relation to others, and building self-trust through healthy exploration.  Rick's Attachment Course: Join Rick for a 5-week online course on using the research-backed HEAL method to heal insecure attachment and create new neural pathways for interacting and connecting securely.

Reparentingthe InnerChild Featured Book Reparenting the Inner Child By Dr. Nicole LePera. A powerful resource on healing early emotional wounds, reconnecting with the self, and creating healthier inner patterns. HolisticWealth Holistic Wealth Framework Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated By Keisha Blair. A globally recognized framework for redefining wealth through emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, relational, and financial well-being. Ready to go deeper? Your healing is your wealth. 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. Even after the close of Global Holistic Wealth Month, the message behind this conversation continues to resonate globally: resilient wealth begins within.

The anxiety you carry, the way you go silent in conflict, the relentless drive that never quite feels like enough, these didn't start with you. They started much earlier, in relationships and environments your body learned to survive before you had words for any of it. And according to Dr. Nicole LePera, until you understand what your nervous system actually encoded in those years, you'll keep bumping into the same walls, the same patterns, the same exhaustion.Dr. Nicole LePera is a clinical psychologist trained at Cornell University and the New School for Social Research, a New York Times bestselling author, and the founder of the global SelfHealers community. Her new book, Reparenting the Inner Child, brings together neuroscience, attachment research, and epigenetics to explain not just why we are the way we are, but how real change actually happens in the body, not just the mind.In this conversation, you'll explore:Why your childhood adaptations were brilliant at the time, and how they became the patterns holding you back nowWhat the inner child actually is (the science, not the cliche), and why insight alone isn't enough to change itThe neuroscience of emotional flooding: what's happening in your body when you can't just calm down, no matter how much you want toWhy midlife is often the moment these old patterns finally surface, and why that's not regression, it's readinessThe epigenetics of stress: how your ancestors' survival adaptations may be running your nervous system todayWhere to actually begin if you want to do this work without needing to excavate everything that happened to you as a childIf you've spent years doing the work and still find yourself reacting in ways that don't feel like you, this conversation will help you understand why, and what to do next.You can find Nicole at: Website | Instagram | Episode TranscriptNext week, we're sharing our conversation with Jon Acuff about why procrastination is not actually your problem and the surprising permission shift that happens when you finally finish what matters most.

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.

Learn how to say what you think without blowing up your relationships. Most of us have been there. A conversation that starts completely normally and somehow ends with you lying awake at 2am wondering how it went so wrong, again. Whether it is a partner, a teenager, a colleague, or someone on the other side of a political divide, the cost of disagreement done badly is one of the quietest, most cumulative kinds of pain there is.Julia Minson is a behavioral scientist and professor at the Harvard Kennedy School who has spent years studying the psychology of disagreement, researching how people handle opinions, judgments, and beliefs that differ from their own, and what it actually takes to navigate those moments without losing the relationship in the process. Her book How to Disagree Better distills that research into a practical, science-backed guide for anyone ready to do the real work of staying connected across difference.In this conversation, you will discover:The single most common mistake people make at the start of a disagreement that almost guarantees it will escalate into a full argumentThe HEAR framework, a four-part behavioral science tool for expressing your view firmly without triggering defensiveness or shutting the other person downWhy leading with facts and data backfires when you are talking to someone who already disagrees with you, and what to use instead that dramatically increases trustA critical practice for building disagreement skills on low-stakes conversations first, so you are not white-knuckling it when the big moments arriveWhy empathy is wonderful in theory but unreliable in the heat of the moment, and what to focus on instead that actually shifts the dynamicIf you are tired of watching important relationships quietly erode one hard conversation at a time, this episode is for you. Press play and let's figure out how to disagree better, together.You can find Julia at: Website | LinkedIn | Episode TranscriptNext week, we're sharing our conversation with Dr. Nicole LePera, New York Times best-selling author of Reparenting the Inner Child, about why so many of us feel stuck in patterns we can't seem to escape, no matter how hard we try.

Were you praised as a child for being ‘good', for keeping quiet, or not making a fuss? Psychologist Dr Nicole LePera reckons that praise may have taught you to disconnect from your emotions entirely.In this chat with Fearne, Nicole explains how even well-intentioned parenting can leave us with patterns that run our adult lives on autopilot. She talks through the practical process of reparenting your inner child, starting with something as simple as finding a childhood photograph. We hold our emotions in our bodies, so she also shares ways to tune in with your body throughout the day to release stress.Nicole also explains why your nervous system keeps you stuck in familiar patterns even when you logically know better, and why shame, people pleasing, and perfectionism are all protective strategies we developed to survive childhood.Plus, why does healing require what Nicole calls a return to ‘radical honesty'?Nicole's book, Reparenting the Inner Child, is out now.If you liked this episode of Happy Place, you might also like:Chiwetel EjioforPhilippa PerryBreak Free From People Pleasing Hosted on Acast.

Pre-Order new book, The Price of Becoming www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming This is brought to you by Insight Global. 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?

We talk a lot about maternal mental health postpartum. But we do not talk enough about dads. In this episode, my husband joins me for an honest conversation about paternal mental health, birth trauma, pressure, and what it felt like to become a father while navigating medical complications and the early days of the pandemic. We discuss the silent expectations placed on fathers to be “the strong one,” to go back to work quickly, to provide, and to hold everything together — often without anyone asking how they are actually doing. This episode is about normalizing the fact that postpartum mental health affects both parents. We talk about: • Why paternal mental health is often overlooked • The impact of traumatic birth experiences on dads • The pressure to return to work quickly, especially in medicine • Sleep deprivation, financial stress, and identity shifts • How the pandemic intensified anxiety for healthcare workers • Why therapy is not just for crisis, but for maintenance • Reparenting yourself while parenting your children • How prioritizing mental health makes you a more present partner and parent Want more?

Sarah Baldwin joins us this week for one of the most powerful conversations we've had on the podcast. A somatic practitioner and educator, Sarah reminds us that tending to our own nervous systems is one of the most generous things we can do for our children. Our kids look to us to learn what safety and regulation feel like. We talk parts work, inner child healing, and how our nervous systems can “time travel,” reacting to the present through past experiences. Sarah breaks down how we're constantly asking: is this safe, dangerous, or life-threatening? And how those answers are shaped by what we've lived through. We explore meeting our scared parts with compassion, not fear, and the healing that happens when we become the witness we may have never had. Plus, staying rooted in self even when we're triggered, with the sequoia tree as a beautiful metaphor for that grounded, steady place we can return to. An episode on reparenting, regulation, and showing up for ourselves so we can show up for the people we love.

Why do you overreact, shut down, or put everyone else first, even when you know it's hurting you? In this episode, Nicole LePera, breaks down how your “inner child” shapes your behaviors, from people-pleasing to perfectionism to emotional flooding, and how self-abandonment quietly shows up in your daily life.

You don't feel free, not because of your life, but because of the patterns you learned to survive it." What if the reason you don't feel free… has nothing to do with your circumstances? In this powerful episode of Soul Talk, Kute Blackson sits down with Nicole LePera to reveal how your inner child is still shaping your sense of safety, control, and freedom. You may be doing everything right… yet still feel tense, on edge, or unable to fully relax. This conversation uncovers why: part of you is still responding to life from the past. Through the lens of the inner child, Nicole explains how patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, and control were learned early on to help you feel safe and how they continue to run your life today. Those patterns once protected you. But they may now be limiting you. If you've ever felt like something inside you won't let you fully feel at ease… or like you keep repeating the same emotional cycles; this episode will help you see it clearly.   Timestamps (00:02:47) – The real issue: why you don't feel free (beyond circumstances) (00:04:12) – How your body learned safety through survival (00:06:05) – Conditioning: how your early environment shaped you (00:08:30) – Living in subtle anxiety (even when life is "fine") (00:10:18) – Why you keep looking outside to feel okay (00:12:41) – Control, hyper-awareness, and nervous system patterns (00:15:06) – The identity you built to survive (00:18:22) – Recognizing patterns vs. thinking your way out (00:22:48) – Awareness as the doorway to real change (00:27:15) – Reconnecting with safety within (closing insight) Questions I Ask What if your lack of freedom has nothing to do with your life? Are you actually safe… or just used to surviving? Why does your body stay on edge even when nothing is wrong? What are you still trying to control just to feel okay? Who would you be if you didn't need life to go a certain way? Are you ready to see the pattern that's been running you? In This Episode, You'll Learn Why nothing in your life will fix how you feel (and never will) The real reason you're still anxious, even when everything is "fine" How your body is addicted to survival mode (and you don't even see it) Why your need for control is actually keeping you stuck The hidden pattern running your life on autopilot What it actually takes to break free (and why most people never do)   Get in Touch: Create a life that is a masterpiece.

What if you could start over—right now? In this K+L solo, Lindsey + Krista explore the truth about identity shifts, the discomfort of being in-between versions of yourself, and why the most painful seasons are often the most transformative.  They dive into the illusion of “arrival” and why so many of us feel lost when life doesn't follow a predictable timeline. You'll hear powerful reflections on releasing old identities, navigating uncertainty, and how to trust yourself when nothing feels clear.  If you've been feeling stuck, disconnected, or like your life isn't reflecting who you're becoming… this episode will shift something in you. Because the truth is: you don't need a milestone to reinvent your life—you just need the courage to begin. We also talk about: Why life transitions feel harder outside of “expected” milestones The grief + liberation that coexist during major life changes Letting go of old timelines, relationships, and versions of yourself Why feeling your emotions is essential for real transformation Navigating breakups, divorce, and calling your energy back Motherhood as a massive identity shift + spiritual initiation The difference between soul desire vs. comparison-driven restlessness Why acceptance is the key to true personal growth Healing stuck emotions + how they keep you from moving forward Reparenting yourself + breaking generational emotional patterns Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Hero Bread | Hero Bread is offering 10% off your order.

PRE-ORDER the upcoming book now: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-bookLuis welcomes back Nicole LePera to the podcast to chat about her new book, "Reparenting the Inner Child." 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 ✨:

"Trauma isn't just what happened to us. It's more so about the support we may or may not have had to navigate the emotional fallout of what happened." Nicole LePera, Ph.D., is the creator of the worldwide @theholisticpsychologist movement, and the author of multiple bestselling books including How to Do the Work and her newest, Reparenting the Inner Child. She was trained in clinical psychology at Cornell University and the New School for Social Research and studied at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis. Her work has reached tens of millions of people on social media, who are waking up to the idea that healing doesn't happen in a therapist's office alone. 00:00 — How to recognize your inner child 04:05 — Redefining childhood trauma 06:09 — How parenting has shifted over time 10:00 — Safety as a foundation 14:30 — Why children internalize a parent's anger  18:10 — How ownership & awareness can lead to reparenting 20:21 — Epigenetics: when the trauma didn't start with you 22:55 — Why insight alone doesn't create change 24:19 — Embracing discomfort & developing resilience 26:01 — Navigating difficult relationships 29:53 — What acceptance actually looks like 37:03 –– Emotional dysregulation & numbness 40:16 — What you can do to start healing right now Find Nicole LePera on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/the.holistic.psychologist/  Buy her book here: https://a.co/d/04SVp4tW We hope you enjoy this episode, and feel free to watch the full video on YouTube!

They also dive into what it really means to communicate in modern relationships—and why clarity is actually magnetic. Plus, they get into the messy middle of healing—like feeling anger toward your parents, outgrowing friendships, and rebuilding intimacy after big life changes. Get ready to feel more secure, expressed, and aligned in every area of your life. We also talk about: Why getting “attached” in dating isn't actually a bad thing The power of saying how you feel early in relationships How to stop future-tripping + come back to the present moment Navigating anger + resentment during therapy + healing Reparenting yourself + building emotional independence The truth about going “no contact” with family Why friendships aren't always convenient—and what that means How to evolve relationships without guilt or forcing alignment Rebuilding intimacy + connection after becoming a parent Why scheduling time for your relationship is essential, not optional Resources: Instagram: @lindseysimcik Instagram: @itskrista Website: https://itskrista.com/ Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Chime | It just takes a few minutes to sign up.

Ever wondered why we lash out, shut down, or spiral emotionally, even when we don't want to? On this episode of Getting Better, JVN teams up with psychologist and author Dr. Nicole LePera (The Holistic Psychologist) to dive deep into inner child healing, parts work, and the shocking truth behind our nervous system's reactions. Dr. LePera reveals how our past molds our emotions, why connection is our biological imperative, and how to become your own adult parent. JVN opens up about their own "parts," and together they dissect black-and-white thinking, fear, and emotional overwhelm, uncovering real-world strategies to break free! If healing has ever felt messy, scary, or downright nonlinear, this conversation may help you truly "getting better." Dr. Nicole LePera's new book Reparenting the Inner Child: The New Science of Our Oldest Wounds and How to Heal Them is out March 24th.
