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 quickly jumped on the chance to have him on our podcast to tell his tale of complete despair to recovery using the mindset and tools of MindBody medicine. After being a totally health and athletic 27-year-old, Jonah found himself so swallowed by a laundry list of symptoms that he quite literally struggled to walk. As he became skeptical of the medical model to cure his pain, he turned in our direction and the rest is history. Join us for a striking tale of recovery from some of the most common (yet most terrifying) symptoms we hear about - vertigo, migraines, anxiety, and the dreaded Long Covid. I know you will get so much out of what we discuss. Much love! xoxo 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.
