- 59 minutes 54 secondsS5 E21 - Neurodiversity and TMS, IBS Recovery, and Helping Others to Heal with Alice
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! XO n.

26 January 2026, 9:11 am - 50 minutes 45 secondsS5 E 20 - Severe Back, Knee, Glute and Male Pelvic Pain with James
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. Join us! XO n.

When I sat down first thing in the morning (my time) to chat across the pond with Adam Wight in the middle of his day, our tone of voices were just a bit more free than they might be now. It's interesting to think how quickly our days are changing! But we will all make it through, as we continue to actively choose love over fear. In today's episode, Adam and I delve into a lifetime of repressed emotions over his life with his mother, and the obvious and natural connection that has to his anxiety, digestive issues, and other TMS symptoms. Join us for an impactful and eye opening real time heal. Stay safe and connected out there, wherever this day finds you. Sending big love.. n. This episode originally aired on March 27, 2020.

Today we have an incredible follow up story from a RTH that I did about a year ago with Angela. She has been on quite the ride, and has gone through many stages of healing.

12 January 2026, 9:11 am - 53 minutes 33 secondsS5 E19 - From Chronic Neck Pain to Thriving: Healing at Any Stage of Life with Lois
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! XOOX n.

9 January 2026, 9:11 am - 1 hour 10 minutesFrom the Vault E1: REAL TIME HEAL - Crippling Anxiety, Chest Pain, and Neuralgias with Felicia
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. This is about more than pain - it's about waking up and living your best life. I know every one of us will take away great inspiration from Felisha's story. XOOX n.

2 January 2026, 9:11 am - 48 minutes 39 secondsS5 E17 - ASK ME ANYTHING Part One with Nicole & Lisa - Am I Doing It Right? Can I Exercise? Radical Acceptance? and much more
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. XOOX N&L

26 December 2025, 9:11 am - 41 minutes 31 secondsS5 E16 - Reflections on the Past Year - We Can’t Change What We Can't See
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! XO n.

19 December 2025, 9:11 am - 56 minutes 22 secondsS5 E15 - It Began with Knee Pain, It Ended with a Life-Changing Paradigm Shift with Deb Malkin
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. XOOX n.
