Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak Patti came to this work after years of living with trigeminal neuralgia, often called one of the most painful conditions a person can experience. She had tried everything she could find to make the pain stop—specialists, restrictive diets, supplements, holistic treatments, and an exhausting amount of vigilance around what might trigger the next attack. Then something shifted. Patti reached a place of radical acceptance and, almost immediately afterward, stumbled across the story of someone who had recovered using my work. What began as an attempt to get rid of excruciating facial pain became an entirely different journey into JournalSpeak, childhood trauma, people-pleasing, fear, and the ways her nervous system had been trying to protect her for decades. This conversation goes far beyond a traditional recovery story. Patti and I talk about why rushing to heal can actually communicate more danger to the nervous system, why pain can unconsciously create permission to receive care when you’ve spent your life being “the strong one,” and how self-sacrifice can masquerade as love while keeping old childhood patterns alive. We also get into scarcity, radical acceptance, the complicated truth about loving imperfect parents, and why healing eventually becomes about so much more than symptoms. Patti’s pain brought her to this work, but what she found on the other side was a completely different relationship with herself, her husband, her children, and the life she gets to live. XOOX n.

Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak The heart of this episode is much bigger than chronic symptoms: it’s about the invisible pressure mothers carry, the ways the nervous system tries to protect us, and how reclaiming ourselves changes both our health and the way we parent. In this candid conversation, I’m joined by my partner, Lisa Eisenpresser, and Danielle Shugg, founder of The Mindful Blonde, to explore how perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-responsibility, and the relentless demand to get motherhood “right” can keep us in a state of perceived danger. Danielle shares how JournalSpeak helped her understand not only her chronic physical symptoms, but also the chronic anxiety, anger, guilt, and overwhelm she was experiencing as a mother, and how that understanding fundamentally changed the way she parents. I also answer questions from mothers navigating postpartum pain, chronic fatigue, autoimmune flares, medical anxiety in their children, difficult relationships, resistance to doing the work, and the fear that something will fall through the cracks if they stop worrying. This episode is a compassionate reminder that tending to ourselves does not mean abandoning our responsibilities; it allows us to meet them from a more grounded, confident, and emotionally available place. When we learn to recognize what is within our power, release what is not, and offer ourselves the compassion we so instinctively give our children, we don’t just change our own lives - we give our children a profoundly different model for living theirs.

Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak When you speak to us, we hear you. People have been asking for more content that isn't simply a success story - they want to hear about the "messy middle" as I like to call it. The dark corners of recovery when things feel really hard and hopeless even though you've seen light before. When I first met Jacqueline, she was down for the count with back pain. After learning about the brain science and doing a consistent JournalSpeak practice, she became pain free and even came on the pod to tell her story. As time went by, however, Jacqueline fell into a trap to which we are all susceptible: the "I got this!" fallacy that can sometimes lead to living in fear. She found herself back in terrible pain, and landed in our membership community. As we surrounded Jacqueline with love and support, she began to get better and better. But her journey was hard and full of many tears. Today, we talk about it all. There is nothing like the inspiration of another human's brave story. Sending love to you, wherever you find yourself on this path. xoxo n. 1:1 COACHING WITH TRAINED COACHES SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY NICOLE PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!

Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak Evie's life was planned before she was old enough to have a real opinion. A child prodigy, she began boarding school for professional violin when she was 9. Although she loved playing her instrument, by the time she was 15 she was debilitated in back pain with no idea why. At first (as so many of us do) she thought the origin of her pain was poor posture or muscle weakness. After years of failed treatments and exercises, she was forced to leave conservatory, and her journey of self-discovery began. At the young age of 20, Evie is so wise. She has done the work to heal herself completely and lives a limitless life, but she is quick to say that this work is about so much more than getting out of pain. Evie's message is one every one of us needs to hear. Join us for an inspiring and insightful conversation.

Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak Every time I do a real time heal it blows me away. The insights which arise from every conversation feel life changing - for both of us. Today, Eric Hissom boldly and bravely addresses his battle with pelvic pain (yes! men get it too, and I hear from them all the time) and shares with us how his pain can move and morph to many areas of his body. Although his TMS work has eliminated the back pain, the pelvic pain lingers and we get down to why. Join us for an enlightening and inspiring (per usual) real time heal! 1:1 COACHING WITH TRAINED COACHES SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY NICOLE PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!
