I met Elizabeth Kott of That's So Retrograde 2 years ago when she invited me onto her podcast to discuss Freedom From Chronic Pain. Little did we know that it would also launch her into a journey to confront her own dermatitis and eye issues which had been so limiting her life at the time. Today Elizabeth and I discuss this winding path for her, marked with resistance and finally acceptance, and the ways in which the whole road has transformed her relationship around fear and her symptoms. For an informative but also hilarious look at wellness, astrology, and more, check our Elizabeth's show That's So Retrograde - anywhere you get your podcasts! Or go to https://thatssoretrograde.com.

So much of the anger and resentment we carry for others is due to our own lack of boundaries and self care. This is not your fault, but it is within your power to change. If you find yourself resenting others' happiness and feeling unseen and unheard, consider that perhaps it's time to rethink the ways you meet your own needs. Today on the pod we have an important conversation for every one of us, our loved ones, and our community. Sending big love to you.. xo n.

The first time I spoke to Dani on this podcast (ep #66) she was in the midst of an awakening - for the first time in 3 years (when at times she'd been in a wheelchair to manage her back pain) she had been pain free for a number of weeks, and she was astounded. This did not happen by chance. Dani is a warrior for the work, and she didn't turn her back on the willingness to believe that this could work for her. Nine months later, Dani's whole life has transformed. Not only did she travel to India to receive her Yoga Teacher Training, but she utilized her graphic design skills and TMS knowledge to create a whole beautiful website dedicated to healing: www.mytmsjourney.com. On her site is a link to her new therapeutic yoga classes, which I hear are phenomenal (and will now be attending despite my panic that I can't do yoga because I'm not bendy!) Members of my community receive their first class completely free. Use code: JOURNALSPEAK. Enjoy Dani's story, insight, and energy. It's such a privilege to walk the path with all of you badass healers. XOOX n. MY NEXT VIRTUAL RETREAT IS LIVE AND ON SALE: FREEDOM FROM CHRONIC PAIN - A VIRTUAL RETREAT EXPERIENCE.

Sometimes on the podcast I share really personally, about my own journey and the things that have been setting me free lately. Today is one of those days. The biggest barrier in healing the wounds of childhood is making the mistake that being perfect today takes away the ache of the past. I have been guilty of this time and again in my life, and have recently been really examining this pattern in myself. I hope that my insights help you along on your own journey. XOOX n.

The day I saw Felisha's first post in my Instagram community I was definitely concerned. Her despair was so thick, her hope so low. This is precisely the reason that I have been so inspired by her journey. This was supposed to be a Real Time Heal, but it quickly turned into a success story. Felicia's dire diagnoses, alongside her total unwillingness to stop searching, has led to an amazing transformation in her. This is about more than pain - it's about waking up and living your best life. I know every one of us will take away great inspiration from Felisha's story. XOOX n.

Anxiety over things we can't control is a major big biggie. Especially now in 2020, as we linger in such uncertainty. For me, often this anxiety comes up around my children's happiness. However anxiety manifests for you, we dedicate the podcast today to calling it out, looking at it in the eye, and making space for the wave as it flows over us. There is no need to stay stuck and clenched tight in your anxiety. Join me today for an important conversation about how and why anxiety manifests, and what we can do about it. XOOX n.

THIS IS OUR 100TH EPISODE. YAYYYYY! Monica, a former teacher and active mom of 2, was stuck on the couch, icing her piriformis muscle 6 times a day. As with so many of us, Monica was gripped with fear and meaning - What will become of me? How am I going to show up for any family and my life?? I say it all the time - Chronic pain is an epidemic of fear. We are so terrified of the pain and the ways it might affect our lives, that we keep ourselves sick and suffering. Monica's JournalSpeak practice alongside an incredible shift in mindset is giving her a life of freedom and possibilities. Her beautiful story of camping with her kids is the best. Join us!

There are several personality traits that seem to show up time and again in people who struggle with TMS (read: everyone, but only some know it). One of the major heavy hitters is perfectionism. Few people realize how toxic we are with the misguided expectations we place on ourselves to show up as "perfect" for family, friends, work, relationships, society, social media... there is no limit to our unrealistic standards. Join me today as we discuss the roots of perfectionism, and the ways in which we keep ourselves stuck without knowing it. Also, of course, we talk about the solution: how to create an observational self in order to pause, and choose our thoughts and behaviors.

As you know, I live for my Real Time Heals, and this one is way up there. I loved getting to know Robin, with his unabashed honesty and willingness to put it all out there. We had *such* an incredible healing conversation that I think will enlighten any and all of us struggling to connect to our inner kids in there, and learning how to release shame and guilt. Join us for an amazing, heart opening exchange. Robin is a really special guy. I'm honored to know him. xoxo n. PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!

I have struggled with insomnia, a common TMS equivalent, for a lifetime. It can be a lonely, scary place wracked with meaning, and can really pose a challenge. I get hundreds of emails a week, often people asking about insomnia as well as myriad other symptoms and conditions. It is a thread that often runs parallel to many other inquires, so I thought I would give it its own podcast! Today we discuss my story of insomnia as well as a concrete JournalSpeak-like approach to calming the brain and falling asleep. Join us - I think you'll get a lot out of this one even if insomnia is not your struggle. So many solutions arise from these conversations. XOXO, n.
