The Honesty Experiment

In this powerful debut episode of The HIT Show, from The Honesty Experiment, attorney and trauma survivor Eric Ruth sits down with Nicole Harmony, a trauma-informed holistic practitioner dedicated to helping others heal from stress, chronic pain, illness, anxiety, and depression. Nicole specializes in integrating and healing the "little one" inside all of us—the part responsible for sabotaging our goals and creating unhealthy patterns, habits, and limiting beliefs.

Nicole shares her deeply personal journey of overcoming childhood trauma, particularly the emotional unavailability of her father, and how it shaped her self-worth, relationships, and career. She opens up about the toxic cycles she found herself in—both personally and professionally—and the turning points that led to her transformation.

Through her curated methodology, The Memory Integration Technique, Nicole helps people access and rewire their limiting beliefs by creating new neural pathways, leading to healthier beliefs, behaviors, and a more fulfilling life. Passionate about removing the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and reducing male suicide rates, Nicole travels the world as a digital nomad, serving clients globally and guiding them on their healing journeys.

This conversation is a raw, insightful exploration of resilience, radical self-honesty, and the tools we can all use to reclaim our worth and break free from limiting cycles.

In this first episode of The Honesty Experiment, I lay it all out. No filters, no excuses—just the truth.

For years, I was the master of self-deception. I lied to others, but more than that, I lied to myself. I built a life on stories that weren’t real, excuses that kept me stuck, and a victim mentality that let me avoid the hard work of change. It wasn’t until I faced myself—ruthlessly—that I finally understood what real transformation takes.

This episode is my story. The moments that forced me to wake up. The practices that saved me. And why I started The Honesty Experiment—a movement dedicated to helping people do the hardest thing in the world: tell themselves the truth.

If you’re tired of your own bullshit, if you’re ready to start being radically honest with yourself, this is where we begin.
