One thing I love about doing this podcast is that I get to have conversations with people who are much smarter than me and this interview is no exception. I loved getting the opportunity to talk to Dr. Jackie Heller, MD, a psychoanalyst, who is board-certified in psychiatry and neurology.
She recently published a book, now an Amazon Bestseller: Yesterday Never Sleeps: How Integrating Life's Current and Past Connections Improves Our Well-Being, a work that is part clinical, academic, and memoir. The narrative is informed by her experience as a psychiatrist and as a child of two Holocaust survivors.
Dr. Heller received a BA in Biology from NYU, an MS in Basic Medical Science from NYU, and an MD from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her psychiatry internship and residency were at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute. Her psychoanalytic training was at the New Center for Psychoanalysis, formerly known as the Los Angeles Psychoanalytic Society and Institute.
In this episode, we'll be unraveling the mysteries of the conscious and unconscious mind, delving into the significance of being in touch with our bodies, and exploring the art of introspection and making meaningful connections within ourselves and with others.
Throughout the episode, we'll touch on the significance of knowing oneself, understanding physical sensations, and the impact of projecting onto others. We'll explore the connections between self-awareness, empathy, and cultivating healthy relationships, including how knowing ourselves better can make us better people and even parents.
In this episode of the Contagious Confidence Podcast, we talk about:
- Introspection and making connections
- How to be self-reflective
- How to become reflective
- How memories recalibrate
- Understanding physical sensations and connecting to emotion

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
