  • On this episode of 'The Dude Therapist', host Eli Weinstein interviews Dr. Nicole Lepera as she shares her journey from traditional clinical training to a more holistic approach. Dr. Lepera discusses the importance of concepts like polyvagal theory and the brain-gut connection in mental health. She also explores the struggles of modern relationships and the impact of societal messaging on unrealistic expectations. Tune in to gain practical tools for navigating conflict, addressing past traumas, and practicing self-care for personal growth and healthier relationships.

    [00:00:06] Summary: Dr. Nicole Lepera, a holistic psychologist and author, is featured on the Dude Therapist podcast. They discuss various topics related to love, relationships, and personal growth.[00:03:29] Feeling disconnected, unfulfilled, and seeking change.[00:08:04] Increased awareness of relationship struggles.[00:12:33] Humans evolved in group-based living in villages with emotional connection and physical support. However, modern society has shifted towards relying on one primary partner for all needs, leading to frustration and disappointment. This pattern stems from early developmental experiences and the belief that the right person can fulfill all emotional needs. Society and culture also reinforce this idea.[00:16:09] Summary: The damaging beliefs and patterns in relationships need to be challenged and reframed.[00:20:11] Love requires intentional choices, and conflict is natural in relationships. Learning how to navigate and resolve conflicts is important to create a safe and secure environment for self-expression and growth.[00:24:15] Issues arise from conflicting beliefs.[00:27:46] Summary: Awareness of our nervous system's role in relationships and the ability to tolerate differences can lead to compassion and acceptance.[00:31:26] Value-driven differences can impact relationships. It's important to have open conversations about values early on to determine compatibility. Sometimes, a break or ending is necessary for personal growth.[00:35:16] Moving on from deep relationships requires grieving.[00:37:39] Summary: Consciousness and mindfulness are key to authentic relationships and personal growth.[00:42:17] Mindfulness is about being present and aware. It involves paying attention to our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. We can make new choices and change by becoming conscious of our patterns and narratives. The conditioned self is a byproduct of these patterns, such as overachieving or people-pleasing. Breaking these patterns is challenging because they are deeply ingrained in our holistic model of being.[00:46:09] Beliefs shape our actions and identity.[00:50:12] Struggle with self-care and emotional support.[00:54:20] Summary: The speaker discusses the importance of love and support from others, expresses gratitude for the opportunity to connect, and encourages feedback from listeners.

    Dr. Nicole LePera is a holistic psychologist trained at Cornell University, The New School for Social Research, and The Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis. She is the founder of the global community healing membership SelfHealers Circle and the author of #1 NY Times Bestseller 'How to Do the Work', 'How To Meet Your Self' and'How To Be The Love You Seek'

  • On this episode of Dude Therapist, host Eli Weinstein interviews Ricky Williams, a former NFL running back and CEO of several companies. Ricky talks about his journey of overcoming adversity and finding inner peace and how his early religious upbringing and experience as an athlete helped him to recognize the opposition within himself and to take on the challenge of overcoming it. He encourages people to be curious about their own potential and to be kind to themselves and others and emphasizes the importance of choosing the right people to keep close for your healing journey towards balanced living.

    [00:00:06] Ricky Williams: Football, Cannabis, Healing, Empowerment.[00:01:54] Ricky Williams: Football to Mental Health.[00:04:00] Pursuing excellence to avoid personal issues.[00:05:48] Face dragon, overcome fear, be authentic.[00:08:11] Spiritual crisis leads to religious beliefs.[00:09:48] Facing life's difficulties to become better.[00:12:05] Combat mental health resistance: Warrior mentality, courage, vulnerability.[00:14:08] Overcome dragon, create inspiring stories.[00:16:22] Faith, stories, transformation, purpose, connection, success.[00:17:41] Athlete's journey to inner peace.[00:19:38] Finding inner peace: Know yourself, grow.[00:21:39] Common wound of man: Unmet needs, relationships, choices.[00:24:11] Healing through understanding patriarchy.[00:26:14] Healing through self-discovery.[00:28:08] Explore potential, be kind.

    Ricky Williams has devoted his personal life and professional career to inspiring greatness, whether in himself, his teammates, or those around him.

    Williams founded Highsman in 2021 to empower professional and everyday athletes as well as sports enthusiasts alike through cannabis. He brings a deep knowledge of herbs, sports and wellness to the brand. His belief in the healing properties of cannabis is intertwined with a distinguished football career, and he credits smoking herb as a way of coping with the challenges associated with being a professional athlete, from social anxiety to physical injuries.

    His widely acclaimed football career began at the University of Texas at Austin, where he was named a two-time All American. Shortly after, he was drafted by the New Orleans Saints and continued an illustrious football career, known as one of the most electric running backs of the century. Most notably he played with the Miami Dolphins for the span of seven seasons. He faced two suspensions during his tenure due to the NFL’s strict marijuana policy. He finished his career with over 10,000 rushing yards and 74 total touchdowns and retired in 2011 after playing his final season with the Baltimore Ravens. Williams was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015.

    No longer burdened by the NFL’s marijuana policy after retirement, Williams began his professional journey into herb and wellness. In 2018 he co founded Real Wellness, an alternative health brand after studying Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. This, along with his personal exploration of cannabis, paved the way for the launch of Highsman.
