The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW

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. Hopefully I will see many of you at my virtual retreat this weekend! XOOX n. PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT! My next VIRTUAL FULL WEEKEND RETREAT is live and on sale!

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.

When I meet a person whose life and career seem to keep them in the physical realm (personal trainers, physical therapists, kinesiologists) I am tempted to worry that they will not be open to mind/body work. That makes it even better and more gratifying when I come across someone like Kate Murphy. Kate is successfully coaching people in Foundational Training as well as other fitness philosophies, while fully embracing TMS and mind/body medicine in her practice and her life. Join Kate and I as we discuss her own story - both painful and triumphant - and see the ways in which she totally understands that without emotional health, physical health is almost impossible. Lots of wise gems in this one! Hoping this finds you well today. OX, n. PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT! My next VIRTUAL FULL WEEKEND RETREAT is live and on sale!

Trauma is a word that means different things to different people, but trauma as defined is, "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience." This means that we all have trauma to some extent or another, and our trauma changes us and how we see the world. Today on the pod, we discuss my cycling accident and the way it has manifested changes in me - both helpful and distressing - and the ways we all need to stay awake to our own trauma. Join us for an important conversation. XO n. PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT! My next VIRTUAL FULL WEEKEND RETREAT is live and on sale!

Sharon is a survivor. She is also a JournalSpeak warrior who has come so far. Yet, she wanted some guidance on taking her healing all the way to peace. Today on a powerful REAL TIME HEAL, Sharon and I discuss her life, her grief, and her connection to chest pain which has manifested in her own body. Her story is a prime example of the ways in which we hold our panic, fear, and meaning in our bodies, and how to release them. Join us for an transformative talk and heal. Sending love. xoox n.

I used to think, "I'm not the kind of person to get angry... I just get sad." This is the message delivered in a great article I read over the weekend entitled, "I Used to Insist I Didn't Get Angry. Not Anymore," by Leslie Jamison. I thought to myself - we need, as a society, to get more comfortable with the fact that we get angry. In fact, we get enraged. All of us need to do this, but especially women. We are taught that it is more kind and generous to absorb our feelings as sadness, rather than express them as anger, and it is hurting us. Join us today on the pod as we discuss this phenomenon, and how to healthily express our rage and heal our aching bodies. XOXO -n. PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!

Ever since I first heard the sentence, "We can do hard things," it had profound meaning to me. It is becoming even more impactful as I sit with my hard things, and allow them to transform. I have found that I am no longer running with terror away from discomfort, and it has changed my life. Now I realize, not only CAN we do hard things... we MUST. Staying with our discomfort changes everything. I love Glennon Doyle's work and this, her tag line. I don't know her personally, but even so her brave honesty has influenced my willingness to come forth with mine. Join me as we discuss the kind of hard things that come up, and how we can sit them them and transcend. Much love, n. My next VIRTUAL FULL WEEKEND RETREAT is live and on sale!
