Lauren had been doing this work for a period of time and almost completely eliminated her chronic m…

Gigi Cockell first found me in a space of complete despair. She was bed-bound with chronic pelvic pain which she described as a 15/10. This was after years of different chronic symptoms, both common and bizarre. After doing the work to regulate her nervous system, complete with a robust JournalSpeak practice, Gigi found me and asked to come on the …

Resistance in life is the essential blockage that stands between each of us and everything we want and need. It's so tricky how this voice can whisper in our ears, making excuses, talking us out of things, or convicting us to put things off. This will not do! I want you to get this, and I want you to heal. I want you to live a life of freedom, and …

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 …

This podcast has been around for a while now, so it's rare that I get to say that something is a "first ever." Today is one of those rare days. When I first interviewed Suzanne Tiger about her stunning chronic illness and pain recovery after 12 years of constant suffering, the story of her supportive husband Aaron got my attention. I spend all of m…

S3 E99 Lately, many of Lisa and my conversations have been focused on the essential role of MINDSET in transforming chronic pain. Today on the podcast, we revisit an episode that got a ton of great feedback last winter when it first came out. In it, I discussed a bout of severe wrist pain that came out of nowhere, what it could have meant for me if…

When Jonah Primo, host of the in-app podcast Work in Progress on the WAKING UP app contacted us, Lisa and I were elated. We are long time fans of WAKING UP and its founder, neuroscientist Sam Harris, and we were enthusiastic about sharing space with such a like-minded person. But that was just the beginning. Jonah's own pain story was stunning, and…

We get A LOT of emails and messages about insomnia. So when we were perusing past episodes to find the most important content to bring forth during this busy summer season, this one caught our eye. It's so easy, without the right awareness, to get caught in the unconscious loop of feeling numb, and "waiting" for things to change before doing this o…

The first day I saw Sean's face was on a group post to our private JournalSpeak FB community. He was excited and proud that he could do the splits again (I couldn't do them with all the JournalSpeak in the world) and he wanted to share. I was immediately taken by Sean's lovely energy and dedication to the work. We were able to meet and hug it out l…

I first saw Jan's name in the oldest TMS forum around - The TMS Wiki. She was such a robust contributor, they called her a Beloved Grand Eagle. Over the years, I made note of Jan's wise and thoughtful contributions. She often re-posted this podcast and offered advice on how it could help others! When I reached out to Jan to share her story, she ent…

Recently we had the most enlightening conversation in our Membership Community. Lisa and I were leading our monthly community-wide meeting, and one of our members shared about how triggered she was when she was bored. She recounted growing up with 30-40 cousins, and she was the youngest. Every time they had family events, she had to sit there for h…

I met Jaime Henle at a weekend retreat I ran back in 2022 in North Carolina. Jaime had no idea what she was getting into, walking into a room with the hope of, "a relaxing weekend with meditation." Well, she did get that to some extent, but she got a LOT more. Jaime had been suffering from chronic back pain since her first daughter was born, and in…

Our teen ambassador Kate is back! After our first podcast on Teens Teaching Teens this past winter (Season 3, Episode 74), parents from all over the country wrote to us about their teens' struggles with chronic issues. Kate and I started working to connect these kids with the mindset and work they needed to heal. Catherine was one of these kids - A…

I met NBA Denver Nugget's Forward Michael Porter, Jr. at a rather low point in his life. He had been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease while still in his teens, and by the time we crossed paths he'd had three back surgeries that didn't cure his pain. In fact, in the Summer of 2023 when we came together, he was in a flare so bad he was strugg…

I met Monica when I received the loveliest email about her pain journey. Monica had been suffering with chronic pain and symptoms for quite some time, and through her understanding of MindBody medicine and doing my work, she was thriving. As so often happens, Monica used the jumping off point of her own recovery to change her professional life as w…

This month's Q&A in our Membership Community was SO inspiring and insightful. Each month this fellowship gets together to hang out in an intimate group and ask me anything about their TMS/symptoms/diagnoses/worries/fears and whatever else. This month was so GOOD. Join us for great info on topics such as health anxiety, neck and shoulder pain, verti…

How great to connect with another Sarno OG! Karen, like me, sat across from Dr. Sarno in his iconic office at The Rusk Center for Rehabilitation at NYU/Langone in New York City back in the day when he was still in practice. His confident and unapologetic style was the inspiration for everything I do and teach, and Karen is right there with me. I ha…

Shit! Sometimes all the best planning is not the best after all. I was traveling for two weeks and made a technical misstep - hence, no pod yesterday. Heartened by the many of you who reached out and asked, "Are you okay?? Where are you?" I recorded a last minute brain dump to offer you a little boost on this lovely Saturday. Much love! -n.

Alice has had a diagnosis of IBS for as long as she can remember. Even as a toddler she was know to have been suffering, and grew up scheduling her whole life with her IBS in mind. As she grew up and dealt with tremendous grief in her 20's, losing both of her parents, Alice was confronted with clinical depression as well. Her understanding of TMS a…

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 y…

When I first met Gigi Cockell last year, I had no idea how impactful she would be on my life. I thought she would be yet another precious success story that I could highlight here on the pod, but she quickly became much more. Gigi has her Master's in Biology (she did her studies at Oxford and it shows) and is one of the best out there is explaining…

Today in my Membership Community we had a great convo on so many TMS topics. It is the best best to be with this incredible group and get to know them - their struggles and their wins. On our call today we talked a lot about, "What hurts versus what hurts worse." This is a big theme when it comes to all areas of acceptance in recovery from chronic …

I get so many questions about how to *actually* find a way into a self-compassion practice, and why it's so important. Today on the pod I give you my best thinking on the topic, how to pause and become aware, and why is essential to have self-compassion at top of mind. Until we disrupt our habitual thinking and consider the way we carry on in life,…

Evie came on the pod originally last year. Her story is one that inspired me deeply, as she recognized and overcame her chronic pain so young. As we open ourselves to the challenge of teaching younger and younger people, it is so important to realize that young and old - we are all the same when we wake up to this life changing knowledge and do the…

I never miss a chance to use my life and my process to help you. The best teaching tool I have is my own lived experience. Today I share an unexpected and painful symptom imperative I encountered: powerful nerve pain shooting from my inner wrist up my forearm. I paused immediately and began to embody the mindset that I teach you here - reminding my…

Laura first came upon this work when she was in the depths of pelvic pain and desperate for a solution. As she moved through her process and embraced the mindset, JournalSpeak, and self-compassion necessary to reset her nervous system and heal, she had a pretty profound realization: The burning mouth and OCD that had both been completely traumatic …

SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH A STRUGGLING TEEN IN YOUR LIFE. Today we have something long overdue in the sense that we’ve been wanting to talk about it for a couple of years, but we knew we had to get it right when we did. Teenagers have never been our target audience, and it’s not because they don’t need these tools as much, and often more, than adults…

We love getting Speakpipes from our community! Today we highlight one from Suzie in the UK who asks about what to do when physical symptoms morph into anxiety by way of the Symptom Imperative. Great question! This is such a common and natural occurrence, and it's a great opportunity to discuss exactly what's going on here, and what we can do to "we…

WOW. What a great episode. Phil de la Haye is back with his in-depth teaching of Internal Family Systems (IFS). Today we follow up on our previous episode to really deepen your understanding of this amazing transformation work. I am planning to do it myself.

Happy New Year! Today on the pod we focus on a Speakpipe from Kate. Kate has been dealing with bladder urgency and frequency, and notices that her symptoms are far fewer when there is a "real" emergency going on - times of high stress tend to take the place of her physical issues. This is such a common occurrence and so normal. It all comes back to…

Happy everything! While I'm spending some time with family over the holiday season, here is a great convo I had last year with Scarlett, who is completely symptom free after living with debilitating neuropathy.

Today on the podcast we are hearing from Erin, a cancer survivor who is curious as to how we can square the need to eat healthily and regulate our gut microbiomes with this mind/body work. Erin's symptoms are stuck and she is not sure where to go, so I am here to weigh in (no pun intended lol). I have found over years of practice, writing, and teac…

My loves! Such a treat today. Every month my private membership community does a Q&A hangout with me. It's casual, loving, and fun, and we spend an hour together - they ask about whatever is in their minds and hearts, and I answer! Today they agreed to do a lovely generous thing - to allow our recorded session to be a gift to our global community. …

I can't overstate how many emails I get about Long Covid and the most alarming symptoms associated with it - Brain fog and Chronic Fatigue. No case exemplifies these concerns like Gary's. When this episode first aired nearly one year ago, Gary was overwhelmed with gratitude for having TOTALLY recovered from Long Covid with these two symptoms and ot…

Hello loves, and happy holiday season of insanity! I hope you are hanging in there amidst all the chaos. I am doing my best - at times hanging on by the coattails of the ride - but doing a pretty good job of being present. I wish the same for you. In the meantime, I am hard at work on finishing my manuscript and editing chapters of my new book. Thi…

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE! It's the time of year we gather to be with family and friends. To some, this is welcome and joyful, to others stressful and triggering. Wherever you find yourself, this episode is for you. There is a fine line between self-regulating and keeping your emotions at bay and repressing them. As humans, we are c…
