RAW with J

What if everything you were told about yourself was wrong? And what if the way you show up in your relationships, your patterns, your people pleasing and your self doubt all lead back to one place: your childhood?In this episode of Raw With J, I sit down with Dr Nicole LePera, world renowned psychologist and the mastermind behind The Holistic Psychologist, to have one of the most profound and personal conversations I have ever had on this podcast.Together we go deep into the wounds that childhood leaves behind, why your nervous system is still running patterns that were formed before you even had language, and what it actually takes to come home to yourself after years of gaslighting, enmeshment and emotional survival.This conversation is raw, deeply personal and at times confronting. But it is also one of the most healing and empowering episodes I have ever recorded.
