Nicole LePera, the author and online personality known as “The Holistic Psychologist,” has reportedly been named in a civil lawsuit filed by her former business collaborator Jenna Weakland. The case concerns ownership, company finances, publishing income and control of the business connected to The Holistic Psychologist brand.
The allegations are serious, but they have not been proven at trial. No final judgment or publicly confirmed settlement was identified in the sources reviewed as of August 3, 2026.
Who Filed the Lawsuit?
Public reporting states that Jenna Weakland filed a verified civil complaint in Maricopa County Superior Court in Arizona on February 20, 2026.
The reported defendants are:
- Nicole LePera
- Lauren “Lolly” Galvin
- Spruce Street Publishing LLC
Weakland alleges that she helped build and operate the business behind The Holistic Psychologist and its paid SelfHealers Circle community. The brand’s own website identifies Juniortine Productions LLC as the company operating The Holistic Psychologist’s online services.
What Is the Lawsuit About?
The case is primarily a business and financial dispute. According to reporting based on the complaint, Weakland brings claims involving:
- Breach of contract
- Breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing
- Breach of fiduciary duties
- Unjust enrichment
- Conversion
- Fraudulent transfer
- An accounting of company finances
These claims indicate that the plaintiff disputes how business revenue, company property and contractual rights were handled. Filing the complaint does not establish that LePera, Galvin or the publishing company committed any wrongdoing.
Alleged Unpaid Business Distributions
One of the central allegations concerns money that Weakland says she should have received from the business.
The complaint reportedly states that an accountant calculated approximately $3.5 million in unpaid distributions owed to Weakland as of July 2024. Weakland alleges that certain expenses were later reclassified in company records in an attempt to make it appear that she had already received money or benefits that should count against those distributions.
The reported $3.5 million amount is the plaintiff’s allegation. It is not a court award, an admitted debt or a confirmed settlement figure.
Dispute Over a Publishing Agreement
The complaint also reportedly challenges the handling of a publishing agreement for a book titled Reparenting Your Inner Child.
Weakland alleges that LePera and Galvin created Spruce Street Publishing LLC and arranged for that company to become the contracting party for the publishing deal instead of the business Weakland says they jointly owned.
According to the complaint, this change occurred shortly before the publishing agreement was completed and allegedly prevented Weakland from receiving a share of the resulting income. The defendants are entitled to dispute the ownership structure, the meaning of any operating agreement and whether Weakland had rights to that publishing revenue.
Removal From the Business
Weakland also alleges that she was gradually removed from The Holistic Psychologist’s operations after the personal and business relationship among the parties deteriorated.
The complaint reportedly claims that she was removed from company accounts and online materials, that years of her content were deleted and that her employment was terminated during a short company meeting in January 2026.
Weakland argues that the termination violated an operating agreement that allegedly required unanimous approval for certain employment decisions. These assertions remain disputed allegations unless supported by evidence and accepted by the court.
Other Serious Allegations
The complaint reportedly contains additional allegations involving intimidation, threats and physical confrontations among people who had both personal and business relationships.
Because those claims have not been tested through a completed trial, they should not be repeated as established events. The lawsuit represents Weakland’s version of what happened. LePera, Galvin and the other defendant must be given an opportunity to respond, present evidence and challenge the allegations.
Is This a Class-Action Settlement?
No. This is not a publicly announced consumer class action.
There is currently no claim form, compensation programme or settlement fund for followers, book purchasers or SelfHealers Circle members. The reported case is an individual business dispute brought by Weakland.
Current Status
No final ruling or publicly confirmed settlement was found in the materials reviewed as of August 3, 2026. The detailed public discussion of the case relies heavily on one article describing the reported complaint, while broader independent news coverage remains limited.
Maricopa County provides an official civil-case search system, although complete documents may require access through the clerk’s electronic-record service or a formal records request.
The safest description is that Nicole LePera and the other defendants are facing unresolved civil allegations involving business ownership, financial distributions and publishing rights. None of the allegations should be presented as proven misconduct unless confirmed through admissions, a settlement or a final court decision.
