Ep. 57 - How to Heal Your Inner Child with Dr. Nicole LePera

Dr. Nicole LePera is leading the way for a holistic approach in the clinical field. In this episode, Lacy and Dr. Nicole discuss how she has intertwined her background in clinical psychology with a holistic approach to mind, body, and soul. She shares tools for approaching healing and acknowledging patterns in our own narratives.

“Kids are really seeing more of what you’re doing. Even if you say the most brilliant, conscious building statements to your children; if you’re not modeling that, if you’re modeling reactivity, if you’re modeling worrying about the external world, whatever it is that you’re modeling is more what’s going to impact your children.” - Dr. Nicole LePera

“People can only provide others, even children, what they provide themselves.” - Dr. Nicole LePera

“I think the more you practice self-observation, the more you get to see how patterned those narratives and then those feelings are, so you can get clarity that ‘okay this is just that nervous anxiety I always feel in that situation’ so probably safe situation, old story that I can lose.” - Dr. Nicole LePera
