Gary's Long Covid really terrified him. But if we are being honest, he was terrified even before he got covid in the first place - OF LONG COVID. This is so natural and typical of what happens in human beings. We are the only animals able to anticipate pain and suffering in our futures, (pre-grieving, catastrophizing) and our nervous systems are paying attention for these consciously communicated danger signals. When Gary did indeed come down with serious symptoms that are associated with the Long Covid conversation, he plummeted. At his lowest, his cognitive and physical limitations kept him totally disabled. Join us for a profound conversation of human despair, the light that exists in each of us that can't be extinguished, and Gary's incredible rise out of fear and darkness. So grateful for all of you around the world who share your lives and your stories with me. XOXO n. Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser OMEGA IS LIVE! COME SPEND THE WEEK WITH US 6/25-6/30 Click here!

Lisa and I are always seeking to answer the biggest questions being pondered in our communities, and one that always comes up is around, "Is my symptom TMS and how it is that so many symptoms are?!" I know these are not the messages we grew up with as kids -  that headaches and backaches and nerve pain and stomach issues care all essentially the same thing, but in the TMS world, we know that it's true. The pain is NOT in your head, but the solution is not in your body. The concept of the symptom imperative is very important in this discussion. This past summer we did the Summer Series, and the symptom imperative episode was one of the most impactful. Today we bring it back for a reprise, to answer many of these frequently asked questions.

Scarlett was so distraught when she found this work. She was in her 40's, using a walker to get around, unable to climb stairs, and a failed back surgery left her with severe neuropathy and totally bereft. After finding my work through her research on Dr. Sarno, Scarlett dove in and took my online course Freedom From Chronic Pain. It began her journey, and by the time we met at a small retreat I did in DE over 5 years ago, she was able to climb the stairs and give me a hug! She went on to attend my first ever OMEGA retreat that summer, and her life has changed in so many ways. I love Scarlett's story, and her message of "living the work" is one we all need to hear. I'm so joyful to share with interview with you today! XOOX n. Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser OMEGA IS LIVE! COME SPEND THE WEEK WITH US 6/25-6/30 Click here!

Today on the podcast I bring to you a very personal episode about my own life, and what it means to live the work. Lately my TMS has been showing up as sleep anxiety, and it makes a lot of sense! It's an old wound (lots of childhood trauma about sleep) and I am an inherently anxious person. But when it really began to affect my life, I decided to really re-dedicate myself to my JournalSpeak practice, and everything is easing and changing. I want the same for you! Join me for some authentic sharing. Hopefully I will inspire you to go into your most genuine places and live in the solution with me. Much, much love! XO n.

You know how I love my Real Time Heals - cold therapy sessions on air that get to the heart of where people are struggling. Today, Jennifer joins me to discuss her Long Covid, which took this avid athlete and triathlete down to the ground. I have been helping people with Long Covid all around the world since its inception, and I want everyone on the planet to know that this work is an option for them. Join us as we discuss brain fog, fatigue, muscle weakness, heart palpitations, and all the ways that Long Covid can keep us scared and stuck. Thank you, Jennifer for your willingness and bravery to help others with your story! XOXO n. Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser OMEGA IS LIVE! COME SPEND THE WEEK WITH US 6/25-6/30 Click here!

Today we tackle an impactful and important topic - learning to greet this life with curiosity instead of fear: "wearing it loosely" instead of seeking to control. THIS IS NOT EASY, but it is everything. We as humans are such inherent controllers, wanting to be "right" or "done" or "okay". Life just doesn't work that way. Join me today with Samantha, a member of our community who sent a Speakpipe about weight, body imagine, and migraines, but ultimately was talking about how to find that final, right answer. I turn this around to show her (and all of you) that there is no right answer, only the gentle seeking within ourselves that lowers the reservoir and brings our nervous systems into rest and repair. Join us for this affirming conversation. XOXO n. Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser OMEGA IS LIVE! COME SPEND THE WEEK WITH US 6/25-6/30 Click here!

Today on the pod we are talking about Anxiety, one of the favorite topics of this community. When I say fave of course I know you don't WANT to have to talk about anxiety, but alas, we are such an anxious bunch. Here's why: Anxiety and Chronic Pain/Illness/Symptoms/Syndromes/Diagnoses are interchangeable. Anxiety is one of the most common symptom imperatives, and so often I hear from you guys that the pain has abated, but the anxiety is way up. Let's talk about it all today, understand anxiety for what it is (not disordered, but human and normal) and learn to live in the solution. XOXO n. Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser OMEGA IS LIVE!

Marian is back! My first ever podcast guest 4 years ago, Marian has come so far and has sage wisdom for you all about how to live a chronic pain free life. This does not mean that things are perfect. It means that she has a toolkit and knows how to use it. We cover all the best practices (including how two crazies like us can meditate), and we talk about her whole journey and what it's revealed about her trauma (capital and small T), and her ability to express it in healthy ways. So much good stuff here! Enjoy XOOX n. Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser OMEGA IS LIVE! COME SPEND THE WEEK WITH US 6/25-6/30 Click here!

So often we feel pulled in two directions with this work: How can I unearth and reckon with the things in my life that are causing my body to channel pain, and also hold space for a positive mindset and openness to ease? A common misconception, I have found in my many years of doing and teaching this work, is that either we can't have both, or we are hurting ourselves by feeling so much heavy stuff. Today on the pod, Magid puts words to this in his thoughtful Speakpipe, and I'm here to answer! Central to this discussion is the fact that if we don't take the necessary steps on this journey, however uncomfortable, our bodies will be unable to release the pain and symptoms of illness. Today we talk about it all. Thank you to Magid and all of you that send me your questions and reflections on Speakpipe. Please keep them coming! Much love to you today. XO n.
