Karliene found herself on the floor with sciatic pain so sharp she couldn't function. This, after a lifetime (looking back) of many different chronic pain symptoms and conditions. Considering surgery, she took to the internet, and found Dr. Sarno. She "got it," but needed to figure out how to get herself well. That's when she stumbled upon my work.

13 November 2026, 9:11 am - 47 minutes 39 secondsJournalSpeak for Chronic Symptoms: A No-Bullsh*t Deep Dive
Learn how to JournalSpeak HERE
If you already believe in JournalSpeak but find yourself avoiding it, overthinking it, or worrying that you’re doing it wrong, I'm here to help. After teaching at NYU Tisch’s Dance Department and Brown Medical School, I wanted to bring you a practical guide that puts the why, the how, and the places we get stuck all in one conversation.
Today, I explain more of the science of chronic symptoms through the brain, the nervous system, and the emotional reservoir, and walk you through what makes JournalSpeak different from keeping a journal. We explore a barrier that so many people encounter: the fear that writing something angry, resentful, or ugly means it defines who you are. Those feelings belong to a part of you that needs to be heard. You can love someone deeply and still need a private place to say how hard it is.
I also share a spoken JournalSpeak example and walk you through the practice: 20 minutes of honest, uncensored expression, destroying what you’ve written, and 10 minutes of self-compassion afterward. We talk about skepticism, perfectionism, the pressure to feel better immediately, and my 28-day challenge to help you notice changes you might otherwise dismiss. Whether you’re brand new or returning to this work, there is room to begin exactly where you are.
Find the free JournalSpeak guide and my book, Mind Your Body, at nicolesachs.com. For live community calls, Q&As, and monthly bootcamps with me and Lisa, explore Heal with Nicole.

Learn how to JournalSpeak: https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak
Natalie's story made its debut in my book and my blog under the pseudonym, "Olivia." Many of you have read about her. When I met Natalie, she was on the tail end of a year of hospitalizations and the most invasive, excruciating tests and procedures known to modern medicine. Her head and facial pain (labeled Severe Chronic Migraine, New Daily Persistent Headache and many others) was so acute that she was fully disabled and suicidal by the age of 23. She had even traveled abroad for experimental surgery, which scarred her forever and did not touch the pain. There is no story which has touched my practice that is more breathtaking, both in its terror and its triumph. I am humbled and proud to share her story with you here on the Pod.

30 October 2026, 8:11 am - 44 minutes 44 secondsHow the F*ck Can Journaling Heal Chronic Pain? The Neuroscience Behind JournalSpeak
Learn how to JournalSpeak HERE
How in the world could writing down your feelings actually relieve chronic pain? I know, it sounds ridiculous. I thought so too when I first walked into Dr. John Sarno’s office, barely able to function because my back pain was so severe, and he started talking to me about repressed emotions. I was skeptical, insulted, and desperate. And yet, here I am, more than 25 years later, having lived the truth of this work and watched countless others transform their lives through it.
This week, I'm bringing together a few things that have been on my mind since my recent conversation with Lauryn and Michael Bosstick on The Bossticks podcast, a fantastic Instagram video from Elizabeth Endres of The Wellness Process, and my latest Substack article, How the Fck Is Journaling Going to Heal My Chronic Pain?*
Because I get it. When you're suffering from debilitating pain, migraines, IBS, anxiety, or any number of chronic symptoms, the suggestion that emotional expression could change your physical experience can feel almost offensive. Especially when you've been sick for years, have a diagnosis, or have been told your condition runs in your family. But there is real neuroscience behind the mind-body connection, and understanding it can change everything.
In today's episode, I want to help you bridge the gap between skepticism and possibility. We'll talk about why your brain and nervous system can produce very real physical symptoms in response to emotional stress, what I mean by the emotional reservoir, and why JournalSpeak is so much more than simply writing in a journal. I'll also explain the three legs of the stool that form the foundation of my work: Believe, Do the Work, and Patience & Kindness.
You'll hear Elizabeth's powerful perspective on the privilege of being able to dismiss someone else's healing, along with my own reading of this week's Substack article, which I've made completely free because I want everyone to have access to this conversation.
Your pain is real. You are not imagining it, and you are not doing anything wrong. But there may be an entirely different way to understand what's happening in your body, and I want you to have the opportunity to explore it.
Come with an open mind, even if you're scared and skeptical. Especially if you're skeptical! You have so much more power than you realize.
I send you big love. ❤️ xo, n.

Dr. Yonit Arthur is an audiologist who is helping people climb out of their chronic tinnitus, vestibular migraine, vertigo, and other related conditions by sharing a message that you have come to know well: NOTHING IS STRUCTURALLY WRONG WITH YOU. This is not to say that she isn't totally empathic and kind in her communication. It is just to say that, like me, she is frustrated with the medical model and the way patients are not getting better. We share a similar passion for carrying this hope of recovery. If you or anyone you love has ever been diagnosed with any of these conditions or related concerns, please give this episode a listen. It could be the first step in profoundly changing a life.

Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak
What if the thing standing between you and healing isn’t your symptom, but what your symptom has been protecting? In this episode, I’m sharing our July Bootcamp, where Lisa and I went deep into one of the most challenging parts of this work: the unconscious fears and protective patterns that can keep us stuck even when we’re doing everything “right.” We talk about the fear of getting better, the urgency to heal, identity and symptoms, the false safety of managing and controlling the body, JournalSpeak, self-compassion, and what happens when being unwell has quietly become a way to get our needs met, avoid difficult decisions, or protect us from being fully seen.
This Bootcamp was originally created for our BreakAwake and Heal with Nicole members, who submitted the thoughtful questions Lisa and I answer throughout the episode. If you want to be part of future Bootcamps, submit your own questions, and go deeper into this work with us, come join the community. And if you’re looking for a higher level of support where you can interact with me directly, Heal with Nicole is the place to do that.

9 October 2026, 8:11 am - 39 minutes 13 secondsFrom the Vault: Michael Porter, Jr. is FREE of Chronic Back Pain and Playing the Best Basketball of his Life
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak
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.

2 October 2026, 4:11 am - 47 minutes 20 secondsJonathan's JournalSpeak Recovery from ME/CFS and Long COVID
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak
When Jonathan developed long COVID and chronic fatigue, his life became smaller and smaller. He went from playing tennis, snowboarding, and mountain biking to barely being able to leave the house, and for more than three years he tried nearly everything he could find to get better. By the beginning of 2026, he had mostly accepted that this was his life now. Then he found recovery stories from people who understood the mind-body connection, discovered my work, began JournalSpeak, and allowed himself to believe that healing might actually be possible. Within four to six weeks, his chronic fatigue symptoms were gone. Today, he’s playing tennis with his daughter, mountain biking with his son, and living his life again.
In this conversation, Jonathan and I talk honestly about what it takes to move through the messiest middle of recovery, when your body is still producing symptoms and every instinct tells you to retreat, manage, pace, and search for the next person who might fix you. We talk about perfectionism, pre-grief, fear of failure, symptom imperatives, and why belief is the gas in the tank—but also why urgency can keep the nervous system convinced that something is still terribly wrong. I share more about my own recovery from lifelong migraines, and we explore how JournalSpeak gives the parts of us operating under the cover of darkness a safe place to finally be acknowledged. Jonathan’s story is a powerful reminder that even after years of illness, the body is not broken, the nervous system can change, and it is never too late to find your way back to yourself. Join us! XOOX n.
