46. Nichole Proffitt - What 20 years of meditation taught this recovery mentor about addiction and finding freedom within

Welcome to another episode of the Unhooked podcast, the place to learn how to break free from compulsive behaviors and bad habits, so that you can create the life you want.

I'm your host Jeremy Lipkowitz, and today  I'm thrilled to bring you a conversation that explores the transformative journey of one remarkable individual.

My guest today is Nichole Proffitt. Nichole is a mindfulness teacher, somatic trauma therapist, and recovery mentor.  With over 20 years of study and practice in various buddhist disciplines, including over two years worth of silent retreat practice; her own experience in 12-step recovery, and healing from the impacts of growing up in an alcoholic and dysfunctional family... Nichole has dedicated herself to guiding others on their quests to cultivate presence, self-awareness, and empowering relationships while breaking free from emotional addictions and embracing self-compassion.

In today's episode, we dive into a variety of topics, exploring the shifts that come with two decades of dedicated meditation practice, and the profound impact it has had on her relationship with herself and with others. 

Expect to learn:

  • The healing power of retreats in providing relief from suffering
  • How to take back your power and find self love
  • What a Vipassana romance is, and the fantasy worlds we create
  • how to be with what is without running away...
  • How to create loving and nourishing friendships
  • And much much more

If you found this episode helpful, please let me know by leaving a review! I would love to hear from you.

Key topics we cover on the podcast: Mindfulness, trauma healing, emotional addiction, codependency, psycho-spiritual mentoring, intergenerational trauma healing
