Sometimes I have a free hour or two, and my favorite activity is to put in my AirPods, listen to a podcast, and walk. It feels so free and renewing, and sometimes it's where I come up with my best ideas for this podcast. Recently, I was listening to This American Life, Suddenly! A Mirror! and a story in it made me think - how many of us are living our lives defined by past experiences that have encoded us with SHAME? Too many, I presume. Join me for a conversation which may just wake you up to some automatic thought patterns and self-definitions that are no longer serving you. In your TMS recovery, it can make all the difference.

What if the key to healing chronic pain isn't fixing your symptoms, but releasing the emotions trapped in your body? When our nervous systems get stuck in protection mode due to stress, trauma, or childhood experiences, physical symptoms often follow—creating a feedback loop that's difficult to break.Most of us respond to difficult emotions in ways that keep us stuck. Some disconnect completely, living "neck up" in a state of perpetual analysis (alexithymia). Others view emotions as inherently dangerous, having learned from experiences where emotions seemed overwhelming or unsafe. Many consciously avoid emotions through distraction, never allowing themselves to fully process what's happening in their bodies.Breaking this cycle requires what we call "the purge"—letting yourself fully experience and release emotional energy. This isn't always pretty. It might involve crying, shaking, or journaling raw truths. But when we allow this natural process instead of intellectualizing or ignoring our feelings, we help our nervous system regulate and begin healing.The process starts with recognizing emotions as bodily sensations. Sadness isn't just a concept—it's hollowness in your chest or a pit in your stomach. By approaching these sensations with curiosity rather than resistance, and creating safety through techniques like breathwork and self-compassion, we can release what's been trapped.This approach combines elements from pain reprocessing therapy, somatic experiencing, emotional awareness and expression therapy, and polyvagal theory. When practiced consistently, it creates a positive feedback loop—reducing resistance, releasing emotional energy, regulating your nervous system, and diminishing pain.Ready to transform your relationship with emotions and chronic symptoms?

Professor Lorimer Moseley is neuroscientist, who specialises in the complexities and mind-boggling nature of pain - what it is, why it exists, how it works and when it can go wrong.For most of us, pain is a fundamental part of being alive, and staying alive and yet none of us will ever experience the exact same pain as someone else, which makes it incredibly difficult to understand.Every day, we stub our toes and burn our tongues. Some of us break bones and suffer from more serious illnesses and conditions.What you feel when your skin is broken or a ligament is torn is there to tell your brain to be careful, that something is wrong and needs to be protected.But what happens when doctors can't find any damage? When the tissues in your hips or the pictures of your brain seem perfectly fine, but still, there is agonising pain that refuses to leave you alone?Lorimer was a physiotherapist who came to this very specific neuroscience after his own experience with chronic pain, following a pretty gruesome sporting injury that by all accounts had been fixed by surgery.He realised that as he was learning more about how changes in the body are detected (like temperature and pressure), and communicated as pain to the brain through the central nervous system, his own chronic pain started to diminish.Since then, Lorimer has published hundreds of papers and several books on the topic, in his pursuit to help people also dig themselves out of the hellish cruelty of chronic pain.Further informationYou can find more resources from Professor Moseley about tackling persistent or chronic pain online at TameTheBeast.orgFind out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.The Executive Producer of Conversations in Nicola Harrison.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron delves into the concept of neuroplastic symptoms, emphasizing the significant role fear plays in chronic symptoms. She explains how fear can manifest in various forms and how it can perpetuate a cycle of symptoms.  The discussion covers the importance of understanding the symptom-fear cycle, breaking the fear loop, and reconditioning the brain to respond differently to symptoms. Ali also introduces the concept of somatic tracking as a tool for healing and encourages listeners to approach their symptoms with curiosity and gentleness.   Takeaways Many chronic symptoms may stem from brain patterns rather than physical damage. Fear can manifest in various forms, affecting our health. Changing our response to symptoms can help alleviate them. The symptom-fear cycle can create a feedback loop of anxiety and symptoms. Self-compassion and reducing pressure are crucial for healing. Predictive coding can lead to anticipating symptoms based on fear. It's essential to break the fear loop to regain control over symptoms. Reconditioning the brain involves teaching it that sensations are safe. Avoiding triggers can reinforce fear; exposure is necessary for healing. Somatic tracking is a powerful tool for changing the brain's relationship to symptoms.

Ever felt powerless in front of the pantry, like you're watching someone else control the snacks? That creeping shame after a binge is rough. In this candid talk, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Amber Abila—a woman who's been there, who's been through it, and who found herself on the other side.Amber opens up about her binge-eating journey, peeling back the layers to reveal how dieting, stress, and outdated habits rewired her brain into a food-fueled panic button. She takes us into the real work she did to reset her relationship with food—mindset shifts, self-talk work, mindful bites, and small victories that don't come in bite-sized packaging.Together, they break it down: the difference between real hunger and emotional hunger, the power of speaking kindly to yourself, and how rewriting your food story means seeing your body as an ally—not an adversary. This isn't about perfection or sealing off your feelings. It's about curiosity, reclaiming trust in your body, and learning that food doesn't have to be the boss of you.Let this episode be the reminder that recovery is possible—even if it feels messy, slow, and confusing. You're allowed to rewrite your story.Tune in if you've ever felt caught in the binge cycle.

Lisa and I found ourselves talking about a frequently asked question in our communities: Won't thinking about my dark stuff make me worse? This is a typical fear of many people endeavoring TMS work. I have such empathy for the perceived quandary - it makes sense that paying attention to seemingly negative content might make it grow. Yet, we both know this is the opposite of truth. Then Lisa suggested a juxtaposition: let's consider the difference between rumination and excavation. Whereas rumination is automatic and unproductive, excavation is intentional and leads to healing. I took the challenge of explaining it through the lens of JournalSpeak, and here we are! I think this episode will enable you to challenge your resistance and open yourself to the incredible transformation that JournalSpeak offers. Lots of love from both of us!

Live discussion with doctors Berry, Baker, Kiltz, and Chaffee about the carnivore diet and the new 'Animal' documentary film! Come check out this very special event, and be sure to share, like, and comment to try to get the word out on this amazing new documentary on the carnivore diet!  

Internal medicine and pediatric physician Charles LeBaron discusses his article "How the CDC's opioid rules created a crisis for chronic pain patients." Charles discusses the 2016 CDC opioid guideline, initially framed as a solution to over-prescription and overdose deaths, and critically examines its actual impact. He reveals how the guideline, despite being based on "low quality of evidence," led to widespread restrictions on opioid prescriptions by states, federal agencies, insurance companies, and pharmacies. Charles highlights the severe, unintended consequences for chronic pain patients, including increased pain, worsened quality of life, and a rise in suicides and overdoses among those whose opioid dosages were reduced or discontinued. He also touches on the devastating impact on cancer patients experiencing undertreated pain and discusses criticisms from pain specialists and the damning report by Human Rights Watch, which characterized the de facto denial of pain relief as a potential human rights violation.

In this episode, Ali Damron delves into the concept of neuroplastic symptoms, exploring how the brain's ability to change can lead to chronic pain, anxiety, and other unexplained physical symptoms.   She discusses the protective responses the brain creates in reaction to perceived danger and how these responses can manifest as real physical sensations. The episode emphasizes the importance of understanding the body-mind connection and how fear can perpetuate a cycle of symptoms.   Ali provides insights into identifying neuroplastic symptoms and offers hope for healing through awareness and understanding.   Takeaways Neuroplastic symptoms can change how we understand chronic pain. The brain's ability to change is called neuroplasticity. Protective responses can create real physical symptoms. Many conditions we chase treatments for are neuroplastic. Chronic pain often has no structural cause. Emotional trauma can lead to neuroplastic symptoms. Symptoms can be driven by fear and anxiety. Understanding the body-mind connection is crucial. Breaking the symptom-fear cycle is key to healing. You're not alone; many people experience neuroplastic symptoms.

In this special bonus episode, Tami is sharing a recent guest appearance she made on the Manders Mindset podcast hosted by Amanda Russo. Also known as The Breathing Goddess, Amanda is a Breathwork Detox Facilitator, Transformative Mindset Coach, and Divorce Paralegal. Amanda's journey into mindset and empowerment began by working with children in group homes and daycares. She later transitioned to family law, helping people navigate the challenging emotions of divorce. During this time, Amanda also overcame her own weight and health challenges through strength training, meditation, yoga, reiki, and plant medicine. The Manders Mindset podcast is where real people tell how shifting their mindsets—and often their words—has dramatically changed their lives. In the interview, Tami and Amanda discuss the realities of living with a chronic illness that most doctors don't know how to treat, the emotional toll of being dismissed, the myths around fibromyalgia, what true healing looks like, the role radical self-awareness plays in that true healing journey, and why Tami decided to become the coach she wishes she would've had when she was first diagnosed.

If you're tired, wired, and in pain—this one's for you. Insomnia, stress, and chronic discomfort often show up together, and we tend to treat them like separate problems. But what if they all stem from something simple… and fixable?Lyndsay Soprano talks with Natalie Jurado, founder of Rooted In, about the quiet power of magnesium. Not the kind in chalky pills or powders that mess with your gut—but in a cream your body can actually absorb. Natalie shares how magnesium supports everything from sleep and anxiety to inflammation, energy, blood pressure, and even mood swings.They dig into how magnesium deficiency flies under the radar, why it's often misdiagnosed, and how most of us—kids included—aren't getting enough. From ADHD to weight loss to workout recovery, magnesium plays a starring role in our well-being. And the truth is, food isn't always enough.This conversation is equal parts science and real talk. It's about understanding your body, getting ahead of burnout, and giving your nervous system the support it's been quietly begging for.Tune in if you've tried everything for your pain, sleep, or stress—and nothing's worked. This might be the missing piece.Find Natalie Jurado Online Here:Website: berootedin.comInstagram: @berootedinFacebook: Rooted InLinkedIn: Natalie JuradoFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Healing(01:16) The Connection Between Insomnia, Pain, and Stress(02:41) Exploring Magnesium for Relief(03:38) Understanding Magnesium: The Essential Mineral(07:13) Personal Journeys with Insomnia and Anxiety(12:24) Creating Effective Magnesium Products(15:37) Benefits of Magnesium for Health(19:12) Magnesium and Cholesterol Management(20:21) Safe Usage and Dosing of Magnesium Cream(27:01) Magnesium's Role in Diabetes and Blood Sugar(28:05) Magnesium for Pain Relief(30:31) Final Thoughts and Encouragement

If you've ever struggled with binge eating, food guilt, chronic pain or IBS (or love someone who has) this episode is packed with real talk, practical insight and the reminder that healing is absolutely possible.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/michelle-hoIn this Mental Health Monday episode, MommaFoxFire sits down with Michelle Ho, a nutritional therapy practitioner and binge eating recovery coach, to talk about what it really takes to overcome binge eating, IBS and chronic pain... without shame, guilt, or toxic food rules.Michelle kicks things off by explaining what her work looks like and how it differs from a dietitian or nutritionist. She combines nutritional therapy with life coaching to help folks heal their relationships with food and their bodies. She emphasizes the importance of looking at the whole person - digestion, sleep, stress, blood sugar and mental well-being - not just calories or weight loss.She shares her own story of struggling with binge eating, starting in college. A combination of stress, undernourishment and diet culture set the stage for a cycle of secret binges, guilt and self-criticism. Despite looking “healthy” from the outside and doing all the “right” things (like running daily and eating what she thought was clean) she was actually stuck in an exhausting restrict-binge cycle that got worse the more she tried to control it.Michelle makes it clear that binge eating isn't about a lack of willpower. In fact, many people caught in that cycle have too much willpower and keep white-knuckling through extreme diets until their body rebels. She also explains how under-eating - even if it's “accidental” or framed as being healthy - is a major trigger for binge episodes. A simple question from her own coach at the time (“Do you think maybe eating an orange and drinking coffee all day has something to do with your binging at night?”) completely shifted her perspective.Throughout the conversation, Michelle breaks down myths about binge eating, emotional eating, and dieting. She shares that it's not about being greedy, lazy or addicted... it's often about unmet needs, whether those are nutritional, emotional, or physical. Michelle also touches on how diet culture feeds into this cycle by pushing rigid food rules, glorifying restriction and labeling foods (and people) as “good” or “bad.”IBS and chronic pain were also part of Michelle's journey, and she explains how those conditions added both urgency and complexity to her recovery. She had to find ways to avoid food triggers for her health conditions without slipping back into a restrictive mindset - something she helps her clients navigate today.Her approach to recovery is rooted in four key elements: changing the mental narratives around food, nourishing your body fully, facing food triggers in a safe and supportive way, and replacing binge eating with better tools for coping, comfort and joy. She encourages people to stop asking “How little can I eat?” and start asking, “What do I need to thrive?”This conversation is full of raw honesty, practical tools and real hope for anyone stuck in the cycle of binge eating or trying to heal their relationship with food. Michelle's message is clear: your body isn't the enemy, and you don't need to fight it to feel better.

This is my incredible story of healing and recovery from chronic pain, PTSD, addiction and anxiety. Western medicine completely failed me but I didn't give up on myself and went to the Amazon jungle to find healing and answers. It is true that Ayahuasca helped me to heal, but there is no magic pill and my path was not as easy as you think. The biggest lesson I learned from this sacred plant that you can heal anything and the answer to any questions is love, that is our true nature.

A lot of people in our communities talk about the difficulty of the “messy middle” - when you are no longer asleep and unaware that your symptoms are TMS, you are doing the work and carrying on, but you're also challenged daily by the feeling that this is a lot to handle. Jamie, an OMEGA alum, has also been a member of our Heal With Nicole community, and honors the role of connection and friendship in navigating this messy middle place. Lisa and I treasure this experience as well. It reveals the importance of connectedness and the strength of the human spirit. She joins us today alongside Jamie to discuss our shared experiences in both our virtual and in-person OMEGA communities, and the ways in which our pain becomes an entry point to finding “our people” - being able to love and connect in new and deepening ways. Join us for a conversation that reveals the messy middle as, in a sense, all of life. When we embrace it as such, we have to power to transform both our physical and emotional health.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron introduces the concept of neuroplastic symptoms, explaining how they manifest as real physical symptoms generated by the brain and nervous system. She discusses the importance of understanding neuroplastic pain, the confusion surrounding correlation versus causation in medical diagnoses, and the cycle of fear that can exacerbate symptoms. Ali emphasizes the brain's ability to rewire itself and the potential for healing through awareness and understanding of these processes. She encourages listeners to explore resources and take actionable steps towards healing. Takeaways Neuroplastic symptoms can change your view on health. Symptoms like pain and fatigue are brain-generated. Chronic pain often has neuroplastic origins. Correlation does not imply causation in medical tests. Many people have abnormal scans without symptoms. Fear can exacerbate the symptom cycle. Healing requires understanding the brain's role. You are not broken; healing is possible. Resources are available for understanding neuroplastic pain. You have the power to heal yourself.

Routine checkups aren't supposed to flip your world upside down. But for Korrie Medina, they did. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Korrie to talk about what it means to keep living your life while battling cancer.Korrie opens up about the shock of her diagnosis, the rollercoaster of treatments—chemo, radiation, brachytherapy—and the way cancer doesn't just touch your body, but everything: your mind, your relationships, your career. Lyndsay shares her own story too—what it's like to go through the medical system, the emotional fallout, and how women are so often expected to just keep going no matter how brutal it gets.They talk about the messiness of it all—how cancer can change your life in a heartbeat, how asking for help feels like a risk, and how it's easy to lose yourself in the chaos. But they also talk about strength: how to hold on to joy, to find moments of light, and to keep moving forward even when you're running on fumes.This episode is real, raw, and a reminder that no matter what you're going through, you're allowed to take up space and put yourself first.Find Korrie Medina Online Here:Instagram: @korrieanneFacebook: Korrie MedinaFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(03:19) Cervical Cancer Diagnosis Journey(04:07) Understanding Cancer Staging and Treatment Options(10:08) The Hybrid Approach to Healing(12:33) Chemotherapy Experience and Its Effects(18:12) Emergency Surgery and Its Complications(23:27) The Importance of Mindset in Healing(25:19) Embracing Happiness Amidst Struggles(26:18) The Mind-Body-Soul Connection(27:39) Navigating the Aftermath of Treatment(28:38) Understanding Brachytherapy(30:36) The Brutality of Medical Procedures(31:32) The Aftereffects of Radiation(33:45) The Reality of Menopause(35:45) Hormonal Imbalance and Mental Health(37:40) Reaching a Breaking Point(39:09) Seeking Help in Crisis(41:31) Reflections from the Psych Ward(43:40) The Importance of Self-Care(45:49) Empowering Women Through Adversity

In this episode, we explore how meaningful conversation can be divided into three emotional spaces — even if you live alone:

It's so easy to get caught up in the "physical" when you are stricken with chronic pain out of nowhere. This is exactly what happened to Adam. Otherwise healthy for his whole life, Adam began having severe pelvic and back pain, and spent years in the frustrating cycle of specialists and failed treatments. In retrospect, Adam can see so many things in his life that he was unconsciously avoiding, key among them facing his social anxiety and "addiction" to the gym for safety. Today, chronic pain free and full of wisdom and perspective, Adam and I unpack it all. You don't have to be a man or a person who's expereinced pelvic pain to get SO MUCH out of this episode.
