Lisa and I found ourselves talking about a frequently asked question in our communities: Won’t thinking about my dark stuff make me worse? This is a typical fear of many people endeavoring TMS work. I have such empathy for the perceived quandary - it makes sense that paying attention to seemingly negative content might make it grow. Yet, we both know this is the opposite of truth. Then Lisa suggested a juxtaposition: let’s consider the difference between rumination and excavation. Whereas rumination is automatic and unproductive, excavation is intentional and leads to healing. I took the challenge of explaining it through the lens of JournalSpeak, and here we are! I think this episode will enable you to challenge your resistance and open yourself to the incredible transformation that JournalSpeak offers. Lots of love from both of us! XO, N+L

A lot of people in our communities talk about the difficulty of the “messy middle” - when you are no longer asleep and unaware that your symptoms are TMS, you are doing the work and carrying on, but you’re also challenged daily by the feeling that this is a lot to handle. Jamie, an OMEGA alum, has also been a member of our Heal With Nicole community, and honors the role of connection and friendship in navigating this messy middle place. Lisa and I treasure this experience as well. It reveals the importance of connectedness and the strength of the human spirit. She joins us today alongside Jamie to discuss our shared experiences in both our virtual and in-person OMEGA communities, and the ways in which our pain becomes an entry point to finding “our people” - being able to love and connect in new and deepening ways. Join us for a conversation that reveals the messy middle as, in a sense, all of life. When we embrace it as such, we have to power to transform both our physical and emotional health. Xoxo N & L

It's so easy to get caught up in the "physical" when you are stricken with chronic pain out of nowhere. This is exactly what happened to Adam. Otherwise healthy for his whole life, Adam began having severe pelvic and back pain, and spent years in the frustrating cycle of specialists and failed treatments. In retrospect, Adam can see so many things in his life that he was unconsciously avoiding, key among them facing his social anxiety and "addiction" to the gym for safety. Today, chronic pain free and full of wisdom and perspective, Adam and I unpack it all. You don't have to be a man or a person who's expereinced pelvic pain to get SO MUCH out of this episode. Such a great and heart-centered conversation. Enjoy! xo n.

Sometimes it's helpful to hear a specific story about a specific symptom to feel secure that this work will help you. I have been hearing a lot about hives and anxiety lately, and a good friend had a transformative experience that led me to share not only her story today, but mine as well. Although many chronic symptoms come from the same place - a dysregulated nervous system - hearing about how certain conditions clear up can be the inspiration you need to dedicate yourself consistently and passionately to the work. This one got a bit more intense than I expected, but you know me - here for it all. Excited to hear how this lands for you. With all my love, xoxo n.

Lindsay and Catherine arrived at our OMEGA retreat last summer as total strangers. They left as friends, and have become soul sisters. They carry a message of unlikely friendship (over 30 years apart in age), unexpected connection and support, and recovery fueled on shared stories and best practices. We discuss their journeys from Long Covid, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Anxiety, and so much more. If there's ever been an episode that makes me smile ear to ear, it't this one. If you want to see me grinning like the Cheshire Cat, you can click here to join our BreakAwake membership and watch the vid as well! Enjoy this incredible reminder that life is never limited to what you think it might be... but sometimes you have to get out of your own way and take the chance of trying something new to find out! xoxo n.

Agnes' first symptom was years of back pain after a horseback riding incident. It was then that she stumbled upon this podcast, but she was not yet ready to embrace the paradigm of MindBody medicine. Then came the most unsettling diagnosis - Dry Eye. It may sounds innocuous, but Agnes was in 24 hour pain and discomfort. She could no longer wear the contact lenses she had used without incident for eighteen years, and she was advised that makeup was also forbidden. Agnes' doctor went as far as to tell her that she would most certainly be suffering for a lifetime, and things would only get worse. It wasn't until he advised her to stop breastfeeding to allow for daily use of steroid eye drops that Agnes put her foot down. As I say in my story: "Mess with me, but don't mess with my kids!" This led Agnes back to my work and pod, and wait until you hear how it went. Join us for a conversation that will give you confidence, hope, and the will to do this work for yourself. With love, n.

When we hear about "flares" in the chronic pain community, they are decidedly viewed as bad. They are feared, judged, dreaded. But what if we redefined flare in the same way we are redefining what it means to be "sick" or "broken" or "hopeless?" What if we challenged the definition of everything that is no longer serving us to make room for a greater perspective? That's what we are doing together today. Join me for a interrogation of the word flare, an explanation of the brain science it inhabits, and the possibility of waking up to new opportunities for healing and growth. As long as we stay curious, there will always be ways to expand our view of a situation, and in turn, the power to transform it. XOXO! n.

Alex spent years having no idea that her chronic anxiety, depression, pelvic pain, foot pain, bloating, and more were connected and all coming from the same place - Nervous System dysregulation. So many of us walk the same path. As challenging as it is to be in the dark about such things, it's equally enlightening to wake up to what is really going on - and euphoric when you can do the work to rid yourself of all chronic symptoms whatsoever. This is Alex's story. As for me, Alex strolled into my life quite unexpectedly. Her father walked into my Uncle's dentist office in London, and struck up the strangest conversation about chronic pain, a niece in America, and a daughter in Amsterdam who had finally found a solution to the chronic symptoms that had plagued her for years. I was shocked to discover that the solution was me!

Join us for an incredible tale of connectedness from across the globe, a perfect alignment, and a story of recovery that has led to Alex's career being dedicated to this work! I love when I get to witness a little magic in this world. Today's conversation is certainly that. Much love! xoxo n.
