S3 Ep97: Robust Recovery and Infinite Possibilities: Introducing YOUR BREAKAWAKE
The day has finally come! Lisa and I have spent months and months working with designers and developers to ideate, explore, expand, and ultimately create our new website: www.yourbreakawake.com. Not to fear - www.thecureforchronicpain.com and www.nicolesachs.com will both take you there as well. The new site is not only here to offer you everything we teach with better technology and more ease (although it does!) but it also takes chronic pain recovery to the next level. We will still be showing up with every single thing you need to live in the solution of MindBody medicine, but we will also be broadening our support to you. In creating Your BreakAwake, we asked ourselves, "What happens AFTER chronic pain is no longer the guiding force in one's life? What then?" We sought to evolve the conversation of what it means to redefine chronic - chronically well, thriving, expanding, living with limitless possibilities. Today we reveal all of our hard work to you. In honor of our new site launch - every course, retreat recording, meditation, and offering (aside from our new Sarno x Sachs practitioner training) will be 30% off until the end of July!

S3 Ep95: Heightened Anxiety, Radical Acceptance, and Managing Symptom Flares Member Q&A
As always, a heart-opening and eye-opening Q&A with the wonderful, brave warriors of our membership community. Just like you, they are walking the path of this work, and when they have questions it is such a great opportunity to share the answers with all of you. Today on the pod we discuss heightened anxiety when the nervous system is stuck in fight or flight, managing symptom flare as they ebb and flow with the vicissitudes of life, pelvic pain, gastritis, and more. We seem to keep landing on the theme of radical acceptance, so that is the topic of our next all-community member zoom. I hope the summer is treating you well.

S3 Ep96: Overcoming Hip Pain and Severe IBS with TMS Therapist Sean Hershey
The first day I saw Sean's face was on a group post to our private JournalSpeak FB community. He was excited and proud that he could do the splits again (I couldn't do them with all the JournalSpeak in the world) and he wanted to share. I was immediately taken by Sean's lovely energy and dedication to the work. We were able to meet and hug it out last summer at Omega and he will be returning this weekend! I'm so excited to finally speak with him on the pod. Join us for a conversation that will most definitely help you to drop into your own TMS work more deeply and meaningfully.

S3 Ep90: Healing Into Our 70's and Beyond - Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Migraines with Jan
I first saw Jan's name in the oldest TMS forum around - The TMS Wiki. She was such a robust contributor, they called her a Beloved Grand Eagle. Over the years, I made note of Jan's wise and thoughtful contributions. She often re-posted this podcast and offered advice on how it could help others! When I reached out to Jan to share her story, she enthusiastically agreed. Her journey with TMS is long and varied, and includes many full successes. Her current dance is with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and she is navigating it with all of her TMS experience. Join us for an important conversation about healing well into our later decades and the ways in which we can marry the best that the medical model and MindBody medicine have to offer. XO! n.

A member shares her deep-rooted triggers associated with boredom, stemming from childhood experiences of feeling invisible. This conversation unveils how emotions like anger can hide beneath seemingly harmless feelings. The host delves into the phenomenon of fawning, connecting it to unresolved trauma and chronic pain.

S3 Ep89: Freedom From Back Pain and the Power of Community with Jaime
I met Jaime Henle at a weekend retreat I ran back in 2022 in North Carolina. Jaime had no idea what she was getting into, walking into a room with the hope of, "a relaxing weekend with meditation." Well, she did get that to some extent, but she got a LOT more. Jaime had been suffering from chronic back pain since her first daughter was born, and in retrospect, many other TMS symptoms over the years. She had never heard of me, but after only a couple hours and a single JournalSpeak session, Jaime knew she was onto something big. Join us for a wonderful story of recovery, expansion, and community. Jaime even wrote a children's book about her experience - Why Does my Body Hurt? A Children’s guide to the Mind-Body Connection, and how Repressed Emotions Lead to Physical Pain.
