Hello lovely people. Today we tackle a big topic when it comes to growth - accepting that we need to turn and face our obstacles, not run from them. Indeed, it is the only thing that allows us to grow. Ram Dass gives incredible lectures about "working the curriculum" of a human life, and his words have inspired this podcast today. Join me for an eye opening and heart opening invitation to suffer and grow (just kidding. well, not really. No, it's gonna be ok.) We can't take ourselves that seriously! XO just come hang out.

Happy New Year fam! Who's sad to say goodbye to 2020?? I know that 2021 won't magically bring peace, but I for one am just going to look ahead and look up. Today I bring you a moving (beyond) and inspiring conversation with Jonna, a young mother who was in the grips of chronic pain for years, and is now free. I love to watch people walk this journey from despair, to awakening, to freedom... and Jonna's story is up there with the best of them. Enjoy! XOOX n.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to my peeps who celebrate! On this xmas episode, I share with you a great gift in my own life: my meditation practice. I thought I was a fast moving quick thinking crazy person who could never ever meditate. Gratefully, I was wrong. The factors that lead to success: dropping the perfectionism, old beliefs about myself, and resistance to anything that requires consistency. The result: more peace, self confidence, and connection than you can imagine. Join me today for the story of my meditation journey, and an invitation to take you own. Much love and happy everything to you. XO n. My new course FREEDOM FROM AN ANXIOUS LIFE, is available now. Click here for all the details and to purchase!

Growing up with a severely abusive alcoholic father and battered mother has left its emotional scars on Angela. She hit a wall in her 30s and her body simply shut down. She was wracked with all over body pain diagnosed as fibromyalgia, as well as many other symptoms. After doing her JournalSpeak work like a total warrior, Angela has been able to free herself from all of her chronic physical symptoms - a true feat. She comes to this session today with what's left over: the deep emotional wounds that are keeping her stuck with social anxiety. I think everyone will get something out of this beautiful, vulnerable conversation. Join us! xoxo n. My new course FREEDOM FROM AN ANXIOUS LIFE, is available now.

I know we feel disordered when we are anxious, whether the anxiety shows up physically, behaviorally, emotionally, psychologically, or all of the above. We feel disordered, and it disorders our lives. Yes. But anxiety, in itself, is not a disorder. It is the manifestation of a lot of fear, helplessness, and a nervous system that is seeking to protect us. Join me today for a powerful discussion about this natural and normal process happening in all of us, and the ways in which we have the power to awaken. The solution, and the possibility for freedom from an anxious life, are within our grasps. They just require the right information and insight. We talk about it all here, today. Join us!

I met Caroline at an incredibly low time in my life, and her light and wisdom helped to lift me out. I have deep respect for her expertise, empathy, and grace in guiding people through this work. For those of you who've heard of JournalSpeak Integrative Specialists, that's Caroline at the helm! She's also an instructor at all of my live and virtual retreats. I've trained Caroline for years in this work, and she brings her own unique insight and advanced studies to do amazing things with it. Join us for a conversation about how trauma lives in our bodies, and how somatic experiencing can allow us to embody it in a way that moves us along in this process. XO n.

Buckle up for another amazing and heart opening Real Time Heal. Bri is an incredible woman. She has lived through so much in a short period of time, and with the help of this work is well on her way to freedom from all of her chronic symptoms. Even before we met, Bri was able to completely eliminate her IC, Pelvic Pain, and related issues with her JournalSpeak work, but her stubborn GI issues and food fear persisted. As we spoke, it became apparent what is actually making her stomach sick: unprocessed grief. We all have it. Join us and witness Bri's incredible bravery and humanity. I feel grateful to have met her, and been able to help in some small way. Much love, n.
