Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this powerful conversation, I sit down with one of our BreakAwake coaches, Lynette. Her story is a profound example of what can happen when we stop chasing endless cures and begin addressing the emotional roots of chronic pain. Lynette spent years living on high alert, believing she was simply someone destined to suffer. Frequent illness, skin infections, TMJ, anxiety, pelvic pain, scoliosis, and eventually debilitating ischial bursitis left her feeling like her life was shrinking before her eyes. Even with supportive medical care and physical therapy, relief was always temporary and new symptoms seemed to appear in their place. When she was introduced to JournalSpeak through a Sarno x Sachs–certified mentor, something finally shifted. With guidance and support, Lynette began to explore the emotional patterns and trauma underlying her symptoms and discovered that true healing was possible. Just months later, Lynette's life looks entirely different. The woman who once felt she was merely enduring life is now actively engaging with it again. She is traveling, exercising, sitting pain-free, climbing stairs, volunteering, and reconnecting with the joy of everyday living. In this episode, Lynette shares the vulnerable details of her journey—from medical trauma and years of searching for answers to the moment she finally felt safe enough to face the emotions her body had been expressing. Her story is a beautiful reminder that the nervous system can change, healing is possible even after years of suffering, and sometimes the right mentor and the right tools arrive exactly when we're ready for them.

Learn how to JournalSpeak : https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s I met Hannah Matluck of The V Hive (formerly The Women's Pelvic Pain Podcast) somewhat randomly a couple years ago when she wanted me to speak as an expert on her podcast. Little did either of us know how much that one interview would change her life. Hannah transformed her entire message to a mindbody approach, healed after years of suffering, and is even going back to school for an MSW to become a clinician! I love how life is serendipitous like that. This interview has so much good healing in it, and such important guidance, no matter how your TMS is showing up in your life. Join us for a great convo. Lots of love to you, from me. XOOX n. 1:1 COACHING WITH TRAINED COACHES SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY NICOLE PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode, I welcome Kamila Tan back to the podcast for a conversation that grew out of a moment at the end of her first appearance. As we were wrapping up that episode, we briefly touched on the intersection between athletics and eating disorders. Kamila shared about her experience struggling with disordered eating while competing in beach volleyball, and I spoke about what I've observed in my daughter's dance communities, where the pressure around body image and performance can be intense. It was clear there was a much bigger conversation waiting to happen, so I invited her back so we could explore this important topic more deeply. Together we talk about the often-overlooked connection between eating disorders, digestive issues like IBS, and mindbody/TMS symptoms. Kamila shares openly about her TMS recovery journey and the ways patterns around control, perfectionism, and safety can become entangled with both physical symptoms and our relationship with food. We explore how the nervous system responds to the pressures of athletic culture and high-performance environments, and what it can look like to begin unwinding those patterns on the path to healing. SO much here to dig into! Join us XOOX n. Want your questions answered directly by Nicole?
Learn how to JournalSpeak : https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s We must speak of the unspeakable, in every aspect of life. Passionately, boldly, bravely, unapologetically. This is the way we heal. There is no topic that feels more relevant to this imperative than pelvic pain. Although all chronic pain originates in the same place (the brain and nervous system's desire to protect us from our repressed emotions), when this process is being expressed through our pelvic area, it can be especially hard to talk about. When Whitney Rydman came on the pod as a "Real Time Heal" last year, she was still struggling with some level of pelvic pain, and her new symptom of fibromyalgia. I'm thrilled to share that today she is totally pain free and living a full and limitless life. Today we come together to discuss the details of her pelvic pain journey in the hopes of helping and guiding you through yours - even if your pain shows up elsewhere. The tools we discuss can work for everyone. Join us! 1:1 COACHING WITH TRAINED COACHES SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY NICOLE PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this week's episode, I sit down with Peter Heymann, a coach in our BreakAwake community and a beautiful example of what is possible when someone is willing to do the real work. Peter recovered fully from chronic back pain using this work, and what makes his story especially powerful is how deeply it intersects with the way boys and men are conditioned in our culture. We talk about “the man box” — the unspoken rules so many boys are raised with: don't cry, tough it out, man up. When we teach boys to disconnect from their emotional lives, we don't eliminate their feelings, we just drive them underground. And the body keeps score. Peter shares how inner child work helped him reconnect with younger parts of himself that had been silenced for decades, and how that reconnection was one of the missing links in resolving his pain. This conversation is tender, honest, and incredibly important — especially for those of us raising boys, loving men, or trying to unlearn our own inherited rules about strength and vulnerability. Peter speaks candidly about fatherhood, emotional literacy, and what it means to model something different for the next generation. His back pain is completely resolved, but even more meaningful is the freedom he feels inside himself. And I'm so thrilled he'll be joining us again at the Omega Institute this June for his second summer with our community, witnessing people step out of fear and into their lives. You're going to love this one. XOOX n. Want your questions answered directly by Nicole?
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s Last month inside our BreakAwake member Boot Camp, Lisa and I dove into a conversation that felt relevant for all of us: the ways we unknowingly block our own healing by staying in analysis instead of allowing real emotional processing. Overintellectualizing, building airtight narratives, replaying the same old stories—these habits can feel like we're doing the work. They feel productive and responsible. But often they are elegant survival strategies that keep us safely in our heads and out of our bodies. In this episode, we unpack the crucial difference between insight and integration, and why understanding your symptoms is not the same thing as rewiring your nervous system. We wanted to bring this Boot Camp teaching to everyone because it's foundational. None of us are trying to avoid healing. In fact, most of us are working incredibly hard at it. But sometimes our brilliance becomes a barrier. When rumination replaces feeling, nothing truly shifts. Healing happens when we drop below the neck and allow anger, grief, fear, and vulnerability to move through us without immediately explaining them away. Join us as we break down how to recognize when your mind is protecting you—and how to gently step aside so your brain and body can finally learn that you are safe. xoox N&L Want your questions answered directly by Nicole?
My interview with Mariel started out as a success story - because she is! Mariel was so debilitated with pain that she was actively contemplating ending her life, and now she is amazing with 80% of her severe pain gone. But as we continued with the conversation, it became clear that a RTH was in store, in order to give Mariel all the tools she needs to thrive for a lifetime. Pain, as you may recall, is but an entry point - an invitation to the precipice of the truths that have been awaiting our acknowledgment. Mariel has some work to do, but she is in a great space to do it, and I am thrilled to help her. Enjoy this heartfelt and deep Real Time Heal. xoxo n.

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode I sit down with Lindsey, whose story adds such an important layer to this work. Lindsey developed myopericarditis after a COVID infection and experienced very real, medically confirmed inflammation. But even after her scans were clear and the acute condition resolved, the chest pain did not go away. That lingering pain sent her on a journey that so many of you will recognize — the confusing space between “you're fine” on paper and “I don't feel fine” in your body. Chest pain is not something we've talked about much here before, and I'm so grateful she was willing to bring this conversation forward with honesty and nuance. Through a mindbody approach and my work, Lindsey was able to understand why her nervous system was still sounding the alarm long after the original issue had resolved. As she began to address the fear, parenting stress, and the emotional underpinnings beneath the symptoms, the pain finally began to shift. Her experience moved her so deeply that she went on to earn her nurse coach certification and now works with others navigating chronic pain. This conversation is a powerful reminder that symptoms can be real and intense without being permanent or structural, and that healing often requires us to look beyond the scan and into the nervous system. 1:1 COACHING WITH TRAINED COACHES SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY NICOLE PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode, we're talking about something that sounds simple but is profoundly difficult for most of us: unconditional love and radical acceptance. Not as spiritual concepts, and not as moral achievements, but as neurobiological states that directly impact healing, behavior change, and the way our nervous systems organize themselves. When we are locked in resistance — against our symptoms, our emotions, our past, or ourselves — the brain interprets that fight as danger. And a brain that believes it's under threat cannot create change. Radical acceptance is not “giving up” or “letting things slide,” but instead the very mechanism that allows stuck energy to move. This is the lubricant to the gears and the gas in the tank. When we stop waging war internally and begin relating to ourselves with unconditional love, the nervous system shifts out of defense. Pain softens. Fear loosens. Patterns that felt immovable begin to change. This conversation goes far beyond chronic pain — it's about the relationship you have with yourself, and why learning to stop fighting everything and everyone may be the most powerful act of healing there is.

The first time I spoke to Dani on this podcast (ep #66) she was in the midst of an awakening - for the first time in 3 years (when at times she'd been in a wheelchair to manage her back pain) she had been pain free for a number of weeks, and she was astounded. This did not happen by chance. Dani is a warrior for the work, and she didn't turn her back on the willingness to believe that this could work for her. Nine months later, Dani's whole life has transformed. Not only did she travel to India to receive her Yoga Teacher Training, but she utilized her graphic design skills and TMS knowledge to create a whole beautiful website dedicated to healing: www.mytmsjourney.com. On her site is a link to her new therapeutic yoga classes, which I hear are phenomenal (and will now be attending despite my panic that I can't do yoga because I'm not bendy!) Members of my community receive their first class completely free. Use code: JOURNALSPEAK. Enjoy Dani's story, insight, and energy.

You may remember her from our original interview - Season 3, Ep 82! Today, we further explore neurodiversity in TMS recovery and how a sensitive, neurodivergent nervous system is not a flaw—but often a key part of the healing process. Alice shares what it was like to finally understand her symptoms through this lens and how learning to work with her brain, rather than trying to fix it, led to complete recovery. Today, Alice is fully free from IBS and anxiety and has joined our BreakAwake Coaching Team. She now works one-on-one with others, extending her hand and guiding people through the same work that changed her life. This episode is a hopeful, honest conversation about nervous system safety, self-trust, and what's possible when we feel truly understood. Join us!

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode, I sit down with James Bloomer after he reached out in response to my call for more male voices in the mindbody/TMS conversation. James is 64 years old and brings an honest, powerful story that spans more than two decades and five distinct TMS episodes—each one convincingly masquerading as a physical problem. Like so many people I work with, James is thoughtful, successful, and driven, with a life that looks “perfect” on the outside: a long career as a high-powered insurance executive, his own financial planning business, a strong marriage, and two adult children he adores. And yet, his body has told a very different story. James walks us through the evolution of his symptoms—total body pain, knee pain, severe back pain, gluteal pain, and finally pelvic pain and lifelong urinary frequency—and how each one came with a rational, medical explanation that ultimately wasn't true. He shares how deeply he bought into the physical narratives, spending thousands of dollars on doctors, treatments, supplements, and tools, only to eventually find relief through TMS work again and again. We even talk about the surreal moment when he picked up the phone and personally reached Dr. Sarno back in 2010. What's most striking is James's honesty about the pattern so many of us fall into: doing some of the work, getting better, and then stopping—only to be “fooled” by the next symptom. Now, using JournalSpeak and my approach consistently, James is about 75% symptom-free and doing the deeper, more uncomfortable emotional excavation that long-term healing often requires. He speaks candidly about uncovering repressed material from childhood, the emotional cost of chronic pain on his marriage, and the reality that some symptoms—especially pelvic pain and urinary issues—can take time and patience to unwind. This conversation is a reminder that TMS doesn't discriminate by gender, age, or success level, and that true healing isn't about perfection—it's about commitment, compassion, and staying in the work for life.

Lois came to my work with terrible neck pain—but what she discovered went far beyond her physical symptoms. As she began to look inward, she realized how deeply she had been limiting herself, quietly resigned to the belief that aging meant shrinking, suffering, and slowly going downhill. That belief had shaped not only her body, but her relationship with herself. Through this work, Lois experienced a full recovery from her neck pain—but even more powerfully, she reclaimed her joy. Today, she feels more aligned, authentic, and inspired than ever before. This conversation isn't just about pain; it's about waking up, telling the truth, and choosing to thrive at any stage of life. If you've ever thought, “It's too late for me,” Lois' story will gently—and powerfully—invite you to think again. Join us!

The day I saw Felisha's first post in my Instagram community I was definitely concerned. Her despair was so thick, her hope so low. This is precisely the reason that I have been so inspired by her journey. This was supposed to be a Real Time Heal, but it quickly turned into a success story. Felicia's dire diagnoses, alongside her total unwillingness to stop searching, has led to an amazing transformation in her.

Chronic pain therapist Nicole Sachs explains how mind-body therapy and nervous system regulation work together to alleviate long-term pain and heal generational trauma in episode 232 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Nicole Sachs, LCSW, is a psychotherapist known for helping people recover from persistent physical symptoms by addressing emotional stress patterns, fear, and conditioned responses in the brain. She trained with John Sarno, MD, a rehabilitation physician at NYU's Rusk Center for Rehabilitative Medicine whose work helped popularize the TMS (Tension Myoneural Syndrome) model. Through her clinical practice, podcast, and book Mind Your Body, Sachs teaches that unresolved emotions and inherited family dynamics can surface as real physical symptoms — and that education and self-compassion are key to breaking the cycle.In this conversation, Faust and Nicole examine why so many people live with ongoing physical symptoms despite doing everything “right.” Their discussion moves through pain, emotion, and perception, questioning what the body is responding to when tests come back inconclusive. Sachs challenges common assumptions about recovery and introduces a different way of understanding what the body may be signaling when it refuses to settle.In this episode:

We dive into many of the most common—and most impactful—questions that come up on the TMS healing journey, including questions around resistance, fear, myriad chronic symptoms, and the familiar concern so many of us share: “Am I doing it right?” Together, Lisa and I explore topics like exercising while healing, what radical acceptance truly means, and how to navigate doubt and setbacks with compassion rather than self-judgment. These episodes are a reminder that healing isn't about doing everything perfectly—it's about showing up with honesty, curiosity, and trust in your own inner wisdom.

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4 No matter how you slice it or how much you enjoy them, the holidays have the capacity to increase nervous system dysregulation. In this episode, we look at why symptoms often increase around the holidays and how personal boundaries can reduce that pattern. When you take on more than you can emotionally manage—or stay silent to keep the peace—the nervous system absorbs the strain, which can lead to pain, fatigue, anxiety, and other TMS-related symptoms. Join me as we discuss how clear limits, honest communication, and recognizing your actual capacity can interrupt that cycle. You'll learn why your body reacts the way it does this time of year, and how small changes in what you agree to can lead to meaningful symptom relief.

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ LEARN HOW: https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4 In today's episode, we explore a powerful insight backed by neuroscience:children regulate emotionally not through our advice, but through our presence. Drawing from a recent study, we break down how a simple daily practice — asking a child about their day and responding with calm acknowledgment instead of problem-solving — can significantly strengthen emotional regulation. But this isn't just about parenting. The same is true for inner child work. Managing our own internal stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is so much easier when we understand how to connect with these small, vulnerable parts of ourselves. In doing so, the same principles apply:pressure escalates; presence regulates. You don't need perfect words. You don't need the right solution. You just need to show up without urgency. Presence creates the conditions for change. Join us for a discussion that might lead to your own epiphany!

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4 In this "sister" episode to last week's Prison of Perfect, we unpack the concept of toxic shame—the deep, painful belief that “I am bad,” rather than “I did something bad.” We'll discuss how this core wound often begins in childhood, when emotional needs for safety and connection go unmet. Over time, internalized shame becomes the background music of our lives, fueling perfectionism, people-pleasing, withdrawal, and even rage. These patterns are not moral failings, but protective adaptations the nervous system creates to survive emotional disconnection. Healing begins when we bring curiosity and compassion to the parts of ourselves that feel unworthy. Through awareness, JournalSpeak, and community, we gradually replace the old narrative of defectiveness with one of inherent worth. Remember!! You are not broken, you're human.

Lisa Frattini was in severe pain when an MRI showed an abnormality that scared her to death. As I know from experience, seeing a significant problem inside one's body and hearing about a dark prognosis from a physician can really rock your world. After a childhood of people pleasing and overcaring for those around her, Lisa was overflowing with big feelings and the vestiges of stored trauma. I have had the privilege of being with Lisa for years in community and at our June OMEGA retreats in New York, and she has an amazing story to tell. Join us for a triumphant and joyful conversation about pain, fear, community, and ultimately a chronic pain-free life. I'm excited to share it with you. XOOX n.

If we want to find peace, we have to come home to it.-Resmaa MenakemChapters0:26 Introduction to Body and Anxiety2:53 The Body as an Ally6:17 Breathing Techniques for Calm9:26 Understanding Proprioception11:22 Grounding Practices13:26 Making Practices Practical15:24 The Future of Calm Living16:06 Conclusion and ReflectionSummaryIn this episode, I delve into the often-overlooked connection between our physical body and our mental well-being, particularly concerning anxiety. As I explore the idea that our body can become our greatest ally, I challenge the common perception that anxiety is solely a mental battle. I introduce the concept that the persistent buzzing of anxiety in our minds often manifests as physical sensations, signaling that something within us requires attention. Both ancient wisdom and modern scientific insights reinforce this connection, highlighting that our physical self holds the key to achieving lasting relief from anxiety.During our discussion, I emphasize the importance of being attuned to our bodies, encouraging listeners to recognize and understand the unique signals their bodies send. By shifting our focus from battling anxious thoughts to nurturing our physical experience, we can start cultivating a sense of calm. I walk the audience through practical exercises, such as a guided body scan, emphasizing the necessity of not only knowing our bodies superficially but truly feeling and understanding the sensations within them. With activities aimed at fostering awareness and softness in our bodies, I illustrate how acknowledging tension and adopting mindfulness can pave the way for anxiety relief.Breathwork emerges as another powerful tool in our journey toward calming our systems. I guide listeners through a simple yet effective breathing exercise designed to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing us to engage with our breath and foster a sense of safety. Each practice, whether it's recognizing proprioception or incorporating gentle movements, is intended to bridge the gap between mental and physical experiences. I underscore the significance of meeting bodily sensations with curiosity, ensuring that the audience understands the value of their physical presence in the face of anxiety.#AnxietyRelief #MindBodyConnection #AnxietySupport #MentalWellness #CalmYourNervousSystem #GroundingTechniques #BreatheAndBeWell #HolisticHealth #SelfSoothing #StressManagement #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #GinaRyan #BodyIsYourAlly #MindfulnessPractice #FindYourCalm #EmbodiedPeace #WellnessJourney #Proprioception #VagusNerveStimulation #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bri really went through it. Her myriad TMS symptoms cascaded into panic attacks so severe that she had to put her entire life on hold (including her marriage), take her kids, and move in with her mother to be taken care of. This is not an unusual story. As I always remind you, although TMS is completely curable with my methods, the pain IS NOT in your head. You are not dramatic, overly sensitive, or making it up. Bri was sidelined pretty severely before learning about Dr. Sarno, and then me. On that day, her life changed. Walk with us as we share an incredible and inspiring story of total chronic pain recovery. And Bri has some pretty great advice for all of us at the end. Sending you all so much love. This is hard work, but you can do it. You can be free. xx, n.

The way I found Manon (and she found me!) is nothing short of amazing. After suffering with persistent headaches for weeks on end, Manon was at a breaking point. Although she was relieved that the expensive brain scan had come back negative, the panic and suffering the headaches brought was too much for her to bear. Manon was not sure she could go on living. Typing "chronic pain" into her podcast search, she came across this very show, and for the first time in a long while allowed herself to have hope. But her story does not end there! It has a fun twist that even made it into my upcoming book, MIND YOUR BODY. Join us as we tell the whole tale, complete with a reading from Chapter Two that gives you a peek into the magic and the lesson on brain science that followed. XOOX n.

Each month, Lisa and I run a Boot Camp for our BreakAwake members. We jump onto our private online community and ask, "What is everybody interested in learning more about?" And they weigh in. We take everyone's questions and show up LIVE once a month where we can be together and tackle the most important topics that span the healing journey. Today on the pod, we share with you one of those sessions. The topic: one of the most frequently visited - a JournalSpeak deep dive. Join us as we answer the kind of questions that may be brewing in your own mind right now. "Am I doing this right? How can I go deeper? What is stopping me from showing up to the page?" And many, many more. Love hanging out with you guys..XO Much love! -n.

Dr. Yonit Arthur is an audiologist who is helping people climb out of their chronic tinnitus, vestibular migraine, vertigo, and other related conditions by sharing a message that you have come to know well: NOTHING IS STRUCTURALLY WRONG WITH YOU. This is not to say that she isn't totally empathic and kind in her communication. It is just to say that, like me, she is frustrated with the medical model and the way patients are not getting better. We share a similar passion for carrying this hope of recovery. If you or anyone you love has ever been diagnosed with ay of these conditions or related concerns, please give this episode a listen. It could be the first step in profoundly changing a life.

Scotty's symptom list is so long I'm not sure I can remember it all to include here, but let's give it a try: back, neck, foot, leg, arm, wrist pain, "tennis elbow," pelvic and groin pain, anxiety, panic, depression, dissociation, tooth sensitivity, burning mouth, and post viral infection symptoms. When you listen, you'll hear the whole thing from his mouth! It may sound unusual, but often in the rearview mirror we end up identifying a lifetime of TMS that has plagued us and led us to live in fear. As I always advise, Scotty took the medical route for each of these diagnoses, but found himself despairing with no enduring solutions. When he finally came upon the work of Dr. Sarno, the game began to change. When he found my work via a YouTube interview I gave, everything started to make sense. Join us today for a conversation with someone who REALLY talks and talk and walks the walk. Loved connecting with Scotty and dropping so many moments of truth. You're sure to be motivated to keep going. Lots of love to everyone out there. It takes willingness and intention, but this work can change your life. XOOX n.

When symptoms move through me, the first place I want to discuss it is here on this podcast. This week I have had some pain, and my JournalSpeak revealed some interesting patterns in my life that it may be time to challenge. I have always had an innate desire to control things, people, situations... am I alone? When I am unable to do so, sometimes my body clocks the danger. Yet, when I reflect on these impulses, I have to admit - I'm not so sure if they are "working." Today I invite you into my heart and mind. Hopefully my insights will shed some light on your own stuck places. Sending big love! xoxo n.

One day, seemingly out of nowhere, Louise began to feel unwell in her body. An inner uneasiness gave way to tremors and crushing fatigue, and her life devolved into living in her bed. For over eight years, bed bound, Louise struggled to figure out what was wrong with her, seeing countless doctors and specialists and being diagnosed with things like POTS, CFS/ME, fibromyalgia, and chronic vestibular migraine. It wasn't until she learned about the tenets of MindBody Medicine that she began to turn it around. Join us today for an incredible story of recovery. Louise's path has many twists and turns, and walking it with her will give you powerful insight into how to heal yourself. There is nothing more profound than the human story of suffering, surrender, discovery, and growth. I'm honored that my work was integral in, as Louise put it, bringing her home to herself. And, of course, eliminating her chronic pain and fatigue. Much love to all of you! XOOX n.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Sometimes it's helpful to hear a specific story about a specific symptom to feel secure that this work will help you. I have been hearing a lot about hives and anxiety lately, and a good friend had a transformative experience that led me to share not only her story today, but mine as well. Although many chronic symptoms come from the same place - a dysregulated nervous system - hearing about how certain conditions clear up can be the inspiration you need to dedicate yourself consistently and passionately to the work. This one got a bit more intense than I expected, but you know me - here for it all. Excited to hear how this lands for you. With all my love, xoxo n.

They carry a message of unlikely friendship (over 30 years apart in age), unexpected connection and support, and recovery fueled on shared stories and best practices.

Agnes' first symptom was years of back pain after a horseback riding incident. It was then that she stumbled upon this podcast, but she was not yet ready to embrace the paradigm of MindBody medicine. Then came the most unsettling diagnosis - Dry Eye. It may sounds innocuous, but Agnes was in 24 hour pain and discomfort. She could no longer wear the contact lenses she had used without incident for eighteen years, and she was advised that makeup was also forbidden. Agnes' doctor went as far as to tell her that she would most certainly be suffering for a lifetime, and things would only get worse. It wasn't until he advised her to stop breastfeeding to allow for daily use of steroid eye drops that Agnes put her foot down. As I say in my story: "Mess with me, but don't mess with my kids!" This led Agnes back to my work and pod, and wait until you hear how it went. Join us for a conversation that will give you confidence, hope, and the will to do this work for yourself. With love, n.

Hey Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our amazing convo with Nicole Sachs, LCSW, psychotherapist, mindbody expert, and author of the upcoming book Mind Your Body. This time, Nicole is diving deep into her transformative practice called JournalSpeak, a method that's helped her and so many others heal from chronic pain, anxiety, autoimmune symptoms, and more by getting to the root of what's really going on: unprocessed emotions. She breaks down how our subconscious beliefs, people-pleasing patterns, and early-life stressors can keep us sick—even when we think we've “moved on.” Nicole also shares personal stories (including how she healed a severe spinal condition doctors said was permanent!) and the exact tools that helped clients like Ricki Lake and Shoshana Bean reclaim their health. If you've been doing all the things but still feel stuck, this might be the missing piece. Tune in! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS: JournalSpeak as a Path to Healing: Nicole shares how her daily 20-minute practice, JournalSpeak, helps release repressed emotions and subconscious beliefs that keep the nervous system stuck in survival mode—unlocking real, lasting healing from chronic pain and anxiety. The Pain-Protection Connection: Many chronic symptoms are not signs of physical damage, but messages from a dysregulated nervous system trying to keep you safe from emotional discomfort or trauma. Nicole explains how understanding this rewires the healing process. The Cost of People-Pleasing: Long-term patterns of perfectionism and putting others first may feel safe, but Nicole reveals how this emotional suppression often contributes to chronic symptoms and a dysregulated body. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EPISODE RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicolesachslcsw/ Website: https://www.yourbreakawake.com/ Mind Your Body Book: https://www.yourbreakawake.com/book Nicole on Heal Squad: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/724-emotions-cause-physical-discomfort-w-nicole-sachs/id1320060107?i=1000626680062 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

When we hear about "flares" in the chronic pain community, they are decidedly viewed as bad. They are feared, judged, dreaded. But what if we redefined flare in the same way we are redefining what it means to be "sick" or "broken" or "hopeless?" What if we challenged the definition of everything that is no longer serving us to make room for a greater perspective? That's what we are doing together today. Join me for a interrogation of the word flare, an explanation of the brain science it inhabits, and the possibility of waking up to new opportunities for healing and growth. As long as we stay curious, there will always be ways to expand our view of a situation, and in turn, the power to transform it. XOXO! n.
