S1 Ep17: Helping a Child to Save Herself - Meet My Sweet Charlotte
I can't tell you how many questions I receive requesting guidance on helping kids with TMS. I figured.. how better to explain than to interview my own child? I raise my 5 kids with the knowledge that we live in a mind/body system. Sometimes we feel things in our hearts, and sometimes we feel things in our bodies. When it came to a scary diagnosis like Charlotte received last summer, we initially took the medical route to get some answers. When I realized that western medicine had taken us as far as we could go (that would be effective in helping her), we went full-on TMS recovery model, and it changed Charlotte's life. Join us as my beautiful, articulate 11-year-old daughter shares with you her wisdom and her healing. Sending love!

S1 Ep16: Are you Fueled by Love or Fear? And more...
Today on the Pod I take to the microphone and answer some questions posed on my closed Facebook group: JournalSpeak with Nicole Sachs, LCSW. Some topics we tackle include the difference between being fueled by LOVE or FEAR, and the dramatic changes in attitude and outcomes which result. We also discuss the concept of feeling alone in your healing (spoiler alert: you're not) and what it means to stay in your own lane and not compare yourself to others' journeys. Join us! There is so much to learn, and so much healing to be done.

S1 Ep14: How JournalSpeak Changed Danielle's Life
Danielle was my friend - a person in my orbit who read my book to be polite (and perhaps interested!) but mostly just because I wrote one. And then one day she began suffering from a bizarre and frightening condition. It was hard to watch her walk that path, but I knew that she needed to reach true readiness to begin applying this work to her life. A gentle suggestion opened her mind, and it's been breathtaking to watch her life change before my eyes. Join us as we cuddle in my bed and chat with you about JournalSpeak, how it changed Dani forever, and how it could do the same for you. XO

S1 Ep12: The Most Serious Case I've Ever Treated - Meet the REAL "Olivia"
Natalie's story made its debut in my book and my blog under the pseudonym, "Olivia". Many of you have read about her. When I met Natalie, she was on the tail end of a year of hospitalizations and the most invasive, excruciating tests and procedures known to modern medicine. Her head and facial pain (labeled Severe Chronic Migraine, New Daily Persistent Headache and many others) was so acute that she was fully disabled and suicidal by the age of 23. She had even traveled abroad for experimental surgery, which scarred her forever and did not touch the pain. There is no story which has touched my practice that is more breathtaking, both in its terror and its triumph. I am humbled and proud to share her story with you here on the Pod.

S1 Ep9: "This is Truth." - Lee's Story
Lee learned of Dr. Sarno's work about 15 years ago (and even saw him personally), and although he believed wholeheartedly in TMS, he lost his way along the journey. It wasn't until he discovered JournalSpeak that he knew he had a tool which would never let him down. Join us for an emotional discussion about Lee's huge revelation which caused his pain to reduce 80% in one session, and hear his inspired advice about the way to do this for yourself. I have never met Lee! He just came upon my work online, and did the work to heal himself. You can too. XOOX
