Head to Heart

If you aren't following @The.Holistic.Psychologist on Instagram, you're missing out. Dr. Nicole LaPera has dedicated her life to working herself out of a job, creating a world of #SelfHealers. We watched Dr. LaPera explode into a spiritual & emotional influencer garnering over 600k followers in a short number of months. Her mission is show each person that they have the power to heal themselves & equip them with practical tools for doing so in daily life. We chat with her about her own journey through depression, how she is healing her anxiety, gut health, breath work & why she feel the traditional model of mental & emotional health needs a serious upgrade.

When people talk about living from the heart, some fear that you're asking them to turn off their brain. In Chapter 8 of 'Heart Made Whole,' Christa and Lucas discuss the importance of the heart-brain connection, and how brain development and attachment proves how desperately the heart needs to experience love.

Did you know you're heart is constantly speaking to you? Most people live as though their hearts are foreigners, unable to decipher what the heart is trying to say (or scream) at them. In this weeks podcast, Lucas and Christa describe 4 languages that your heart is always speaking, and teach the listener how to finally understand their inner dialogue.

Most of us don't enjoy emotional pain. We pretend it's not there, move into denial, or live to avoid it. But what if pain isn't the enemy, but instead, simply a signal that points to the real problem? Learn to uncover your emotional pain, move towards it, and uncover the real source of the problem--your broken heart. Christa and Lucas discuss Chapter 3: The Doubting Heart from her upcoming book 'Heart Made Whole,' released June 7.
