From the Vault: REAL TIME HEAL - Childhood Trauma, Back Pain, Depression, and More with Mariel

2/16/2026
My interview with Mariel started out as a success story - because she is! Mariel was so debilitated with pain that she was actively contemplating ending her life, and now she is amazing with 80% of her severe pain gone. But as we continued with the conversation, it became clear that a RTH was in store, in order to give Mariel all the tools she needs to thrive for a lifetime. Pain, as you may recall, is but an entry point - an invitation to the precipice of the truths that have been awaiting our acknowledgment. Mariel has some work to do, but she is in a great space to do it, and I am thrilled to help her. Enjoy this heartfelt and deep Real Time Heal. xoxo n.

Unexplained Chest Pain and Parenting Stress with Lindsay

2/13/2026
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode I sit down with Lindsey, whose story adds such an important layer to this work. Lindsey developed myopericarditis after a COVID infection and experienced very real, medically confirmed inflammation. But even after her scans were clear and the acute condition resolved, the chest pain did not go away. That lingering pain sent her on a journey that so many of you will recognize — the confusing space between “you’re fine” on paper and “I don’t feel fine” in your body. Chest pain is not something we’ve talked about much here before, and I’m so grateful she was willing to bring this conversation forward with honesty and nuance. Through a mindbody approach and my work, Lindsey was able to understand why her nervous system was still sounding the alarm long after the original issue had resolved. As she began to address the fear, parenting stress, and the emotional underpinnings beneath the symptoms, the pain finally began to shift. Her experience moved her so deeply that she went on to earn her nurse coach certification and now works with others navigating chronic pain. This conversation is a powerful reminder that symptoms can be real and intense without being permanent or structural, and that healing often requires us to look beyond the scan and into the nervous system. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1:1 COACHING WITH TRAINED COACHES SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY NICOLE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser ~~~~~ SUPPORT: 🟠 Struggling with chronic pain?

From the Vault: Back Pain, Sciatica, Coccydynia, and Unnecessary Surgery with Jacqueline

2/9/2026
Jacqueline was always a "good girl" - putting pressure on herself to get straight A's, be thin and pretty, and always be the light for other people. When her debilitating back pain began in her 20's, she had no idea that those behaviors could possibility have anything to do with it. After two surgeries, and pain that kept moving around, Jacqueline found Dr. Sarno and my work, and her life has never been the same. Although she thought she would never say it, she is straight up grateful for the pain, as it has opened her to a whole new way of living. Oh, and one little detail - Jacqueline is 100% chronic pain free. She's also a therapist specializing in this work now! Check out this awesome and inspirational conversation. XOOX n.

Stop Fighting Yourself: The Brain Science of Radical Acceptance and Unconditional Love

2/6/2026
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode, we're talking about something that sounds simple but is profoundly difficult for most of us: unconditional love and radical acceptance. Not as spiritual concepts, and not as moral achievements, but as neurobiological states that directly impact healing, behavior change, and the way our nervous systems organize themselves. When we are locked in resistance — against our symptoms, our emotions, our past, or ourselves — the brain interprets that fight as danger. And a brain that believes it’s under threat cannot create change. Radical acceptance is not “giving up” or “letting things slide,” but instead the very mechanism that allows stuck energy to move. This is the lubricant to the gears and the gas in the tank. When we stop waging war internally and begin relating to ourselves with unconditional love, the nervous system shifts out of defense. Pain softens. Fear loosens. Patterns that felt immovable begin to change. This conversation goes far beyond chronic pain — it’s about the relationship you have with yourself, and why learning to stop fighting everything and everyone may be the most powerful act of healing there is.

FROM THE VAULT: From Back Pain and Anxiety to a Life Reimagined with Dani Fagan

2/2/2026
The first time I spoke to Dani on this podcast (ep #66) she was in the midst of an awakening - for the first time in 3 years (when at times she'd been in a wheelchair to manage her back pain) she had been pain free for a number of weeks, and she was astounded. This did not happen by chance. Dani is a warrior for the work, and she didn't turn her back on the willingness to believe that this could work for her. Nine months later, Dani's whole life has transformed. Not only did she travel to India to receive her Yoga Teacher Training, but she utilized her graphic design skills and TMS knowledge to create a whole beautiful website dedicated to healing: ⁠www.mytmsjourney.com⁠. On her site is a link to her new therapeutic yoga classes, which I hear are phenomenal (and will now be attending despite my panic that I can't do yoga because I'm not bendy!) Members of my community receive their first class completely free. Use code: JOURNALSPEAK. Enjoy Dani's story, insight, and energy.

S5 E21 - Neurodiversity and TMS, IBS Recovery, and Helping Others to Heal with Alice

1/30/2026
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode, I talk with Alice, who recovered from lifelong IBS and anxiety, and has been able to see things more clearly since she was diagnosed in adulthood with ADHD. You may remember her from our original interview - Season 3, Ep 82! Today, we further explore neurodiversity in TMS recovery and how a sensitive, neurodivergent nervous system is not a flaw—but often a key part of the healing process. Alice shares what it was like to finally understand her symptoms through this lens and how learning to work with her brain, rather than trying to fix it, led to complete recovery. Today, Alice is fully free from IBS and anxiety and has joined our BreakAwake Coaching Team. She now works one-on-one with others, extending her hand and guiding people through the same work that changed her life. This episode is a hopeful, honest conversation about nervous system safety, self-trust, and what’s possible when we feel truly understood. Join us!

S5 E 20 - Severe Back, Knee, Glute and Male Pelvic Pain with James

1/23/2026
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode, I sit down with James Bloomer after he reached out in response to my call for more male voices in the mindbody/TMS conversation. James is 64 years old and brings an honest, powerful story that spans more than two decades and five distinct TMS episodes—each one convincingly masquerading as a physical problem. Like so many people I work with, James is thoughtful, successful, and driven, with a life that looks “perfect” on the outside: a long career as a high-powered insurance executive, his own financial planning business, a strong marriage, and two adult children he adores. And yet, his body has told a very different story. James walks us through the evolution of his symptoms—total body pain, knee pain, severe back pain, gluteal pain, and finally pelvic pain and lifelong urinary frequency—and how each one came with a rational, medical explanation that ultimately wasn’t true. He shares how deeply he bought into the physical narratives, spending thousands of dollars on doctors, treatments, supplements, and tools, only to eventually find relief through TMS work again and again. We even talk about the surreal moment when he picked up the phone and personally reached Dr. Sarno back in 2010. What’s most striking is James’s honesty about the pattern so many of us fall into: doing some of the work, getting better, and then stopping—only to be “fooled” by the next symptom. Now, using JournalSpeak and my approach consistently, James is about 75% symptom-free and doing the deeper, more uncomfortable emotional excavation that long-term healing often requires. He speaks candidly about uncovering repressed material from childhood, the emotional cost of chronic pain on his marriage, and the reality that some symptoms—especially pelvic pain and urinary issues—can take time and patience to unwind. This conversation is a reminder that TMS doesn’t discriminate by gender, age, or success level, and that true healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about commitment, compassion, and staying in the work for life.

S5 E19 - From Chronic Neck Pain to Thriving: Healing at Any Stage of Life with Lois

1/9/2026
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s⁠⁠⁠ In today’s episode, I’m joined by Lois Heymann, who is in her 70s and living proof that healing has no expiration date. Lois came to my work with terrible neck pain—but what she discovered went far beyond her physical symptoms. As she began to look inward, she realized how deeply she had been limiting herself, quietly resigned to the belief that aging meant shrinking, suffering, and slowly going downhill. That belief had shaped not only her body, but her relationship with herself. Through this work, Lois experienced a full recovery from her neck pain—but even more powerfully, she reclaimed her joy. Today, she feels more aligned, authentic, and inspired than ever before. This conversation isn’t just about pain; it’s about waking up, telling the truth, and choosing to thrive at any stage of life. If you’ve ever thought, “It’s too late for me,” Lois’ story will gently—and powerfully—invite you to think again. Join us!

From the Vault E1: REAL TIME HEAL - Crippling Anxiety, Chest Pain, and Neuralgias with Felicia

1/5/2026
The day I saw Felisha's first post in my Instagram community I was definitely concerned. Her despair was so thick, her hope so low. This is precisely the reason that I have been so inspired by her journey. This was supposed to be a Real Time Heal, but it quickly turned into a success story. Felicia's dire diagnoses, alongside her total unwillingness to stop searching, has led to an amazing transformation in her.

S5 E17 - ASK ME ANYTHING Part One with Nicole & Lisa - Am I Doing It Right? Can I Exercise? Radical Acceptance? and much more

12/26/2025
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s⁠ In this two-part Ask Me Anything special, I’m joined by my partner, Lisa Eisenpresser, to answer real questions submitted by members of our BreakAwake and Heal with Nicole communities. We dive into many of the most common—and most impactful—questions that come up on the TMS healing journey, including questions around resistance, fear, myriad chronic symptoms, and the familiar concern so many of us share: “Am I doing it right?” Together, Lisa and I explore topics like exercising while healing, what radical acceptance truly means, and how to navigate doubt and setbacks with compassion rather than self-judgment. These episodes are a reminder that healing isn’t about doing everything perfectly—it’s about showing up with honesty, curiosity, and trust in your own inner wisdom. Wherever you are on this path, our hope is that this conversation helps you feel supported, reassured, and less alone.

S5 E16 - Reflections on the Past Year - We Can’t Change What We Can't See

12/19/2025
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s This episode is a reflection on the past year—not as a reset or reinvention, but as a continuation with more awareness. We can’t change what we aren’t willing to see, and the year behind us holds important information: patterns we repeated, moments we abandoned ourselves, places we showed courage, and pain that was trying to communicate something meaningful. Together, we walk through this reflection slowly and without judgment, reframing pain as information rather than failure, and inviting you to see it as a powerful portal for insight and change. Rather than offering answers, let's focus on honest self-inquiry: Where did I abandon myself, and what did it cost me? Where did I show up bravely? What emotional truths did I avoid? And what pain—physical or emotional—was asking for my attention? This is an invitation to meet yourself more fully as you move forward, with curiosity instead of criticism. Join us!

S4 E15 - It Began with Knee Pain, It Ended with a Life-Changing Paradigm Shift with Deb Malkin

12/12/2025
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In today’s episode, I sit down with Deb Malkin to explore what it truly means to reclaim your body, your agency, and your sense of safety from the inside out. Deb’s story of overcoming years of debilitating knee pain isn’t just about symptoms resolving—it’s about a paradigm shift. We talk about what happens when you stop assuming your body is broken, and instead begin listening to it, partnering with it, and seeing it as a safe place to return to. Deb learned to align with her body rather than fight it, and the result was profound physical and emotional transformation. We also dive into internalized weight stigma, body image, and the external pressures that shape how we view ourselves. Deb brings so much clarity around the harm of cultural narratives that tell us our bodies must look a certain way to be worthy or healthy. We talk about how those beliefs create nervous system activation, fear, shame, and pain—and how shifting into compassion, curiosity, and trust becomes its own form of healing. This conversation isn’t just about knee pain. It’s about liberation, empowerment, and remembering that your body is not a problem to fix—it’s home.

S5 E14 - How Boundaries Disrupt Holiday Pain Patterns

12/5/2025
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4⁠ No matter how you slice it or how much you enjoy them, the holidays have the capacity to increase nervous system dysregulation. In this episode, we look at why symptoms often increase around the holidays and how personal boundaries can reduce that pattern. When you take on more than you can emotionally manage—or stay silent to keep the peace—the nervous system absorbs the strain, which can lead to pain, fatigue, anxiety, and other TMS-related symptoms. Join me as we discuss how clear limits, honest communication, and recognizing your actual capacity can interrupt that cycle. You’ll learn why your body reacts the way it does this time of year, and how small changes in what you agree to can lead to meaningful symptom relief. We can do this! xoxoxo n. 1:1 COACHING WITH TRAINED COACHES SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY NICOLE PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!

S5 E12 - Moving from Pressure to Presence with Inner Child (and actual) Parenting

11/21/2025
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4⁠ In today’s episode, we explore a powerful insight backed by neuroscience:children regulate emotionally not through our advice, but through our presence. Drawing from a recent study, we break down how a simple daily practice — asking a child about their day and responding with calm acknowledgment instead of problem-solving — can significantly strengthen emotional regulation. But this isn’t just about parenting. The same is true for inner child work. Managing our own internal stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is so much easier when we understand how to connect with these small, vulnerable parts of ourselves. In doing so, the same principles apply:pressure escalates; presence regulates. You don’t need perfect words. You don’t need the right solution. You just need to show up without urgency. Presence creates the conditions for change. Join us for a discussion that might lead to your own epiphany!

S5 E11 - Severe CFS/ME/Long Covid Recovery with Jay

11/13/2025
Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4 At 21, Jay was living an extraordinary life — an international freestyle skier and full-time Math and Computer Science student. After winning a national ski competition, he caught Covid — and everything changed. As the virus faded, Jay was left with crushing fatigue that spiraled into ME/CFS and Long Covid. Within months, he became 97% bedbound — unable to walk to the bathroom or care for himself. His parents became his lifeline, researching desperately while he struggled to survive. Then Jay’s father found Gary (Season 3, Episode 26) who introduced them to my work, and Jay’s cognitive symptoms began to lift. With a consistent JournalSpeak practice and MindBody mindset, he is now completely recovered - competing and training again harder than ever. Jay’s story is a stunning reminder that there is more to illness than meets the eye. Join us for this incredible conversation. XOOX n. PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!
