Summary

Caggie is joined this week by a returning guest from Season 3: Dr. Nicole LePera, also known as The Holistic Psychologist. In this conversation, Dr Nicole LePera discusses her journey of self-discovery and the impact of her nervous system on her personal and professional life. She emphasises the importance of understanding the nervous system's role in relationships, highlighting how early childhood experiences shape adult behaviours and emotional connections. Drawing on her own experiences, Dr Nicole discusses emotional disconnection, trauma bonds, and the challenges of setting boundaries. She also recounts her relationship with her mother and the trauma of coming out, which influenced her ability to accept and express her true self. Through her work, Dr Nicole advocates for emotional awareness, community support, and the courage to live authentically.
