I have been in the grips of physical and mental "control addiction" for a lifetime. Well, for most of a lifetime. Through loving, patient, and consistent work on myself, I have been able to let it go to a large extent. Control begins as a kind defense mechanism allowing us to perceive "fake safety" as a way to get through life. But when we become aware of the fact that it's hurting us more than it's helping us, we are at a crossroads. Today we discuss this very normal way of "handling" life, what to do when it's not working anymore, and why awareness of these patterns is key to growth and change. Join us! XO n.

S3 Ep93: The Emotional Root Of Chronic Conditions & How To Become Pain Free with Elizabeth Endres

Recently we had the most enlightening conversation in our Membership Community. Lisa and I were leading our monthly community-wide meeting, and one of our members shared about how triggered she was when she was bored. She recounted growing up with 30-40 cousins, and she was the youngest. Every time they had family events, she had to sit there for hours, not being seen, heard, or cared about. She was just too young to be part of the discussion. Now, as a grown woman in her 60's, this lovely soul was so triggered by being "bored" that she developed pain in her body during these times! I knew there was more to this story. Join me today for a one-on-one hang where I explain why underneath boredom is anger, and shed light on the many ways we unconsciously avoid our big feelings.

S3 Ep91: Underneath Boredom Is Anger (and Other Tales of Repressed Emotions)

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. Check it out at www.lulu.com! xoxo n.

S3 Ep89: Freedom From Back Pain and the Power of Community with Jaime

Our teen ambassador Kate is back! After our first podcast on Teens Teaching Teens this past winter (Season 3, Episode 74), parents from all over the country wrote to us about their teens' struggles with chronic issues. Kate and I started working to connect these kids with the mindset and work they needed to heal. Catherine was one of these kids - A D1 athlete who is off to college to play Lacrosse. At the time, she was suffering in chronic knee pain, even with a clean MRI. After meeting with us and dedicating herself to a JournalSpeak practice, Catherine is back on the field and no longer in pain. Truly, it has changed her life. It's been fantastic working with a teen ambassador. Kate will be joining us at OMEGA! If there is a teen in your life who would benefit from a deep dive immersion into this work, join us at the OMEGA INSTITUTE JUNE 23-28.

S3 Ep88: Teen Sports Injuries and a JournalSpeak Success Story with Kate and Catherine

I met NBA Denver Nugget's Forward Michael Porter, Jr. at a rather low point in his life. He had been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease while still in his teens, and by the time we crossed paths he'd had three back surgeries that didn't cure his pain. In fact, in the Summer of 2023 when we came together, he was in a flare so bad he was struggling to walk up the stairs. Thankfully for Mike, he is blessed with an open mind and a curious nature. He knew after surgery #3 that he had to find another way to look at his pain, or risk losing his career. After discovering Dr. Sarno's work, he quickly came across mine. Michael's life has never been the same. 



He dove into JournalSpeak, boldly and bravely looking at the places he was holding anger, grief, and shame. He examined his childhood, and made profound connections about things like achieving in basketball and his perception of being loved. Paired with the essentials of a TMS mindset and an understanding of the brain science, unearthing these core emotions and truths set him free. Today, Michael is (pun intended) at the top of his game. He has no chronic back pain whatsoever, and when he gets even a hint of a sensation, he need only employ the principles of MindBody medicine to send it on its way. I could go on forever about his uncommon wisdom for a 25-year-old, but I'd rather you hear it from Michael yourself. Enjoy this interview with a true inspiration - a young man who has taken back his life and his power, and has found himself unstoppable. Enjoy! XO n.
