The Chase Jarvis LIVE Show

Have you ever felt that who you thought you were doesn't align with who you actually are? If so, you're not alone. Whether it by cultural conditioning or childhood trauma, it's not hard to see how our inner voice can get lost in the noise. Enter Dr. Nicole LePera. Nicole is a Holistic Psychologist and Content Creator works to help us learn to heal trauma and consciously recreate ourselves. Nicole discovered holistic psychology while on a path to figure out why she felt empty and began to use her learning to help others in her practice. In this conversation we dig into how to identify patterns that don't serve you, how to create a safe space where you actualize new choices, and the importance of consistently practicing deep belly breaths to balance your nervous system. We also get into: [3:58] The conditioning that keeps us from accessing the state of consciousness that allows us to be creative. [11:37] The meaning of self-healing – understand why you're stuck, create choice, and become empowered to live life. [16:14] The importance of including the body when working with the conscious mind. Why Nicole is advocating for a more comprehensive approach that honors the whole human experience in psychology. [25:54] Epigenetics – memories passed down genetically and how to choose to create new experiences from our generational patterns. [29:10] Learn how to be fully present to what is happening [38:09] Understanding trauma – how early trauma drives us to suppress parts of ourselves. Identifying patterns that don't serve us in adulthood and creating the space to begin actualizing new choices. [42:42] How the pandemic is making us feel disempowered and out of control. Why this is the time to be conscious of ourselves and find a safe space within or with a community during the pandemic. [54:18] The importance of consistent breath-work. Teach yourself how to be in your body to inhibit a peaceful body that can handle stress over time. [1:06:17] How to cultivate compassion for yourself to heal your past traumas. Learn to practice this as a process and not sit in the judgment of how you attempted to survive for so long. And so much more. Enjoy! Have a question?

If you've graduated college through the conventional school system, you have spent upwards of 15,000 hours behind a desk learning in a system that was designed to value efficiency over originality and diversity of thought. Yet, fuel for creative pursuits are found when we can tap into our own originality and uniqueness. So how do we access that space more frequently? Follow the fear. Take a listen, and let me know what you think. --- Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

How many of us let what others think and say dictate the way we value our ideas? Does hearing no discourage you? How about when someone tells you that what you're working on will never work?

Have you ever felt like you're running in place professionally? I know I have. After finishing college and starting a photography business I had to navigate this issue myself. I was always doing something, wearing all types of hats, but I wasn't seeing the results. In this episode, I go deep into my story to address one of the most critical elements of being a successful professional, no matter the discipline: where to place your focus. What really moves the needle and what doesn't? At the end of the episode get ready to either write down or visualize what I adopted in Creative Calling from President Eisenhower: a matrix for prioritization. This tool will help to determine what is truly effective and what isn't. It's helped me hone in on the goals and direction I want to grow in and I can't wait to hear back from you about what you took away from this episode.

One of the most common stories I hear is, "I'm not ready yet." You have a dream, a goal, an ambition, but without the connections, skills, or resources it feels out of reach. Social media makes it easy to see others' success without showing the REAL stuff. Late nights, blood, sweat, tears… the messy middle doesn't make the highlight reel. This mindset undermines our confidence and inhibits creativity. Chances are, you do have what you need to get started. Today's show is going to prove it to you. Ellen Bennett, Founder of Hedley and Bennett and author of DREAM FIRST, DETAILS LATER, lifts the curtains to talk about her uncertain, circuitous, passion-driven journey. After a difficult divorce at age 9, Ellen was raised by her mother, who worked long hours to keep the lights on and the family fed. At 18, a two-month trip to Mexico turned into 4 years before Ellen returned to the U.S., walked in the back door of a Michelin star restaurant and asked for a job as a line cook. There, she observed the challenges cooks faced- one of them being the one-size fits all aprons that wore out, caused problems and generally weren't quality products. Hedley and Bennett is now one of the world's leading Apron manufacturers, collaborating with tastemakers like Martha Stewart and Alton Brown and top chefs like David Chang, April Bloomfield, and Nobu Matsuhisa. For aspiring entrepreneurs stuck in analysis paralysis, creatives procrastinating on a personal project, or anyone caught in obsessive over-planning, Ellen shares her gutsy personal playbook to putting your inner worrier on silent and leaping into action.

A few weeks ago a shared a conversation on Clubhouse with photographers Ben Von Wong and Tim Tadder and I received a lot of positive feedback. If you're not familiar with Clubhouse, it's new social audio platform. It's currently still in beta, so access is still limited. So grateful to be able to record a couple of these and share them out so you can listen in. Today I'm back with hosts Walid Azami (@walid.azami) and Mathieu Young (@mathieuyoung) in a Clubhouse conversation talking about creativity and my book Creative Calling. Some things we get into: We are the only species that trains the instincts out of our children. Inherently, we are creative machines, and tapping into that is key to not only success, but also more importantly, fulfillment Pulling the thread on the thing you know about yourself, whether it's inconvenient or not, you pursue it because you're following your intuition. Knowing when the burn the boats, but protecting against the downside Writing has been reborn in my life- radically important for galvanizing my thoughts, if you can't write it down in a way that makes sense to you, it's going to be hard to put that out in the world. Short term urgency, long term patience Seasons of life- we can't perform at the peak forever, the folks at the top of their craft take time to recover, heal, train and improve Once you find your thing, how do you execute? The creative challenges and tug-o-wars are universal- we all go through it. You're not alone. Enjoy! Have a question?
