S4 E13 - Family Alcoholism, TMS, and the Healing Power of Community with Kat

What a wonderful conversation I had with Kat Gemson, a lifelong TMSer and beloved admin of our Nicole Sachs' Support Circle community on Facebook. Kat grew up an only child (like me) and her mother struggled with alcoholism. She learned early that she needed to subdue her own needs to care for others, and so began her TMS journey. For years, Kat struggled, not knowing that there was a common genesis of all her pain and symptoms. When, through her discovery of the Curable app, she found my work, her healing really took off. Join us for a moving and heart-centered conversation about childhood struggles, pain, awakenings, hard work, and the life-saving force of community. I adore Kat, and her energy is so generously available to you all in our group. Join us here!

S4 E12 No One is Coming to Save You (said with love)

There are few concepts that move your healing forward more powerfully than radical acceptance, yet it is so often confusing and hard to understand. Today I am inspired to highlight a story from my life that (however painfully at first) allowed radical acceptance to seep profoundly into my experience and change the trajectory of my personal growth. Per usual, I am my best example of the ways to teach and explain concepts, so here we are. If my raw moments are a portal into opening you to your own, I am honored to share them. Join me today for a discussion of what happens when you are pushed to the brink, and you decide to accept a new way of thinking. You never know what might happen when you are brave enough to own your journey, and in turn, your life. xoxo n.  Click here to learn about all the tiers of BreakAwake membership and the ways to get so much help, guidance, and support: https://www.yourbreakawake.com/membership Want to read MIND YOUR BODY?

S4 E5: Recovery From Severe Back, Hip, & Tailbone Pain with Andy

Andy lived for years in pain. Both severe back pain, then tailbone or "sit" pain, then hip pain plagued him. He saw every doctor, tried every treatment - even got his hip replaced at the age of 50. Yet his pain continued to plague him relentlessly. He was unable to sit or walk for years. After taking care of his mother with ALS, the pain spread to his hands, legs, feet, shoulders, neck, and chest. Things got so bad that he couldn’t walk or  hold a spoon. Test after test showed nothing. He thought he was dying. It was then that he found my work. Join us for a heartfelt and, in the end, joyful story of recovery. Andy has his life back, and knows he has the tools to live a life of freedom. Sending big love to you, wherever this finds you.
