THE INTERVIEW Today we are joined by holistic psychologist, Dr. Nicole LePera! We love following her inspiring posts on Instagram that give insight and tools into mental wellness and healing. Dr. LePera begins by sharing how she struggled with high anxiety for most of her life, which led her into self-researching ways to heal. She emphasizes the importance of consistency with diet, sleep, and movement for helping to lower anxiety and regulate a dis-regulated nervous system. We ask about anxiety around sleep, and Dr. LePera explains how retraining our focus to be outside of our mind through breath work can help with sleep issues. She unpacks how we create stories about ourselves based on others’ behavior, and how to depersonalize those experiences. We also dive into authenticity in relationships, the power of our subconscious mind, and the connection between anxiety and being out of alignment. We also talk about: Nutrition and lifestyle affecting anxiety Gut health and emotional wellness Changing the definition of trauma Big ’T’ vs. little ’t’ trauma Bringing awareness to our emotions Familiarity and our subconscious Boundary vs. ultimatum Highest self work Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!
