- 44 minutes 44 secondsHow the F*ck Can Journaling Heal Chronic Pain? The Neuroscience Behind JournalSpeak
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak
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.

Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak
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. Sending big love from us both! XOOX n.

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. Go to NicoleSachs.com/membership and join us before the next Bootcamp drops! XOOX n.

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.

Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak
I can't tell you how many questions I receive requesting guidance on helping kids with TMS. I figured...how better to explain than to interview my own child? I raise my 5 kids with the knowledge that we live in a mind/body system. Sometimes we feel things in our hearts, and sometimes we feel things in our bodies. When it came to a scary diagnosis like Charlotte received last summer, we initially took the medical route to get some answers. When I realized that western medicine had taken us as far as we could go (that would be effective in helping her), we went full-on TMS recovery model, and it changed Charlotte's life. Join us as my beautiful, articulate 11-year-old daughter shares with you her wisdom and her healing. Sending love!

Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tovah Goldfine—Doc Tovah—to talk about her personal journey through trauma, chronic symptoms, environmental sensitivities, and the mind-body work that ultimately changed her relationship with all of it. Together, we explore why the past matters insofar as it continues to shape the present, how old wounds become today’s triggers, and why forgiveness is never about excusing what happened. It’s about asking whether the anger, fear, or resentment we are carrying still serves us now.
We also have an honest and nuanced conversation about autoimmune disease, mold toxicity, chronic Lyme, and other diagnoses that can leave people feeling powerless. Neither of us is suggesting that symptoms aren’t real or that people should reject appropriate medical care. What we are saying is that a diagnosis does not tell the whole story, and our relationship with that diagnosis can profoundly affect how we live. We have so much more power than we realize to influence our physical and emotional health, and sometimes healing begins with the willingness to pause, consider another possibility, make a decision, and reclaim that power. Join us! XOOX n.

Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak When Katie first joined our Membership Community last fall, she has already been through the gamut of TMS symptoms since childhood. Raised in a family affected by alcoholism, Katie as the oldest child was parentified from a young age. Although she was stricken with pretty serious TMS growing up, Katie always showed up with a brave face. At home, nothing was discussed. At school, she shined. This, of course, can't last forever - no human can take it. Join us today for a profound and impactful RTH where Katie shares her story thus far, and then we delve together into the places that might be keeping her stuck. I love these opportunities to move the needle on healing, and I feel confident that Katie will continue to ascend up her own mountains. Enjoy! XOOX n.
