One of the biggest mantras of my practice is: Start with the end in mind. What do we want out of life? If we don't know where we're going, it's very difficult to get there. Today on the Pod we discuss what it means to live in peace, and the ways in which we can most effectively get there. Annoyingly, this often involves patience and forgiveness, two topics that come up a lot in my Instagram questions (for more on this follow me @njsachs). I delve into these topics and more, including the beautiful synergy between my work and the Curable App, my first sponsor who I SO believe in. Don't forget, The Cure for Chronic Pain listeners get 50% off a year's subscription when they visit getcurable.com/nicole! This is an amazing deal, and I hope you take advantage of it and kick your healing into high gear. Finally, my OMEGA retreat for next summer is LIVE AND ON SALE!

We all wish we could control our worlds - the way people react to us, the outcomes of our loved ones, the behavior of our coworkers. We have this illusion that if we could just control our worlds, we would be safe from pain and suffering. It's simply not true - something most of us (me included) need to learn the hard way. Join us today on the Pod as we discuss this common illusion, and the actual healthy ways in which we can control what we can control: ourselves, and our actions fueled by love.

The first time I saw Scarlett in person she burst into tears - not tears of pain and sadness, but tears of relief and gratitude. How amazing is it when we get to cry for this reason? It's just the best. Scarlett's failed surgery for sciatica led her into a downward spiral of neuropathy and pain so disabling, she was using a walker at the age of 46. After learning about Dr. Sarno and doing my work, Scarlett now lives an active life free of chronic pain of any sort. She is a bright light of hope and inspiration, and it is my joy to share her with you today. XOOX n.

Thanks to my lovely instagram following (follow me @njsachs if you haven't yet for all the content I put up there) I got the great suggestion to discuss Panic and panic related disorders on the Pod today. I know how scary it is to feel like panic is ruling your life, and today I discuss the ways in which it is impacting me personally as well as helpful suggestions on how to handle it in your own life. Hand in hand with addressing panic in your life is the practice of radical acceptance, so we talk about that a lot here too! Love to you all.

I first met Barb Mastrianni when she flew all the way to Chicago from the East Coast just to hear me speak for a few hours. I was floored (and a little scared it wasn't worth it!) but she was really moved and changed from the experience, and has gone on to live an inspiring and beautiful story of recovery. I am thrilled to interview Barb today. She is so wise and articulate about every important piece of the TMS journey, and even with technical issues it is one of my favorite interviews to date. Join us as we talk about her story and the role of FEAR... and how important it is acknowledge this common state of thinking, and turn it around.

We are back from OMEGA and it was OFF THE HOOK. Such amazing healing right in front of my eyes, and so many aha moments and lightbulbs going off all over the place. The one aspect I don't think people expected was my emphasis on community. They didn't realize that they were going to get far more than information; they were being invited to realize that they're not alone - a powerful piece of information. Join us today on the Pod as we explore the integral part community plays in healing, and how to start manifesting a community of your own.

Listen guys - this is short and kind of lame because I am so wrung out from giving it my all at OMEGA. What an amazing, magical week it has been. I'm sure I will find my words to explain the gratitude, connection and healing that has taken place between these four walls and over the rolling hills and shade trees of this magnificent campus... I just don't have many right now, so this is short and sweet. I wish you light and love, and catch me next week with much more energy as I share the gold nuggets that came out of this transformative experience.
