This week we sit down with Dr. Nicole Lepera (aka The Holistic Psychologist) to chat about her brand new book, "How To Meet Yourself". We talk about how we become disconnected from our authentic selves, the power that habits play in our lives, overcoming the effects of religious fundamentalism ... and so much more.
I also have a CO-HOST doing the intro to the episode with me - my daughter, Jordan (5 years old), has been home sick for the last 4 days and is missing ALL of the fun school activities leading up to Christmas break and so she got to sit down at the mic with daddy for a few minutes to say hi to y'all.
Enjoy!
