Welcome to The Pretty Intense Podcast. Today our guest is Dr. Nicole LePera. We actually had Nicole on the Podcast about four years ago. Nicole goes by the name "The Holistic Psychologist" on social. She has a huge following. Nicole does a really great job of educating people on the dynamics that exist in our reality. What makes us sad? What makes us feel unappreciated? What makes us feel lonely? She has a new book coming out in November called: "How To Be The Love You Seek". I think it is so great that there are more people writing about this more autonomous, self reflection. How to control your destiny. Perception plays a humongous role in our reality. The difference between fear and excitement is a real fine line, and it could maybe just be perception. You could go bungee jumping, and be scared to death, or be super excited. I think it is great that people are writing about this. We have so much power within us to change the way we experience everyday life, based on how we feel about ourselves. We talked about how childhood plays such a big role. How our childhood programs us in how we go into our adult and romantic relationships. Nicole is in a very interesting and different kind of relationship. She is in a throuple. There are three girls in the relationship, and Nicole speaks openly about how that works. This is a great episode. Enjoy with Nicole.
