From the Vault: Sarno, Back Pain, Pelvic Pain - Skepticism and Science with Dr. Rachel Gofman
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak When Rachel Gofman was in college, she had terrible back pain - just like me! After going down the Western Medical rabbit hole to no avail, she discovered Dr. Sarno and her back pain subsided completely. But years later, when Rachel was in her Doctorate program for Physical Therapy, acute and widespread pelvic pain struck. Similar to me as well, this time she forgot all about Dr. Sarno and went full steam into traditional medicine in the hope of helping herself. When the best specialists told her there was, "nothing else they could do for her," thankfully she considered Sarno again, and this time found my work. Rachel had to confront her scientific training around the human body, and realized that there is a huge hole in so much that is taught to PTs and all medical professionals. Embracing MindBody medicine, Rachel was able to TOTALLY recover from debilitating pelvic pain, and now is a MindBody PT! Enjoy this thoughtful conversation about all things TMS and the ways in which an open mind can save your life.

The Messy Middle: You Know the Answer - So Why Aren’t You Better Yet?
LEARN HOW TO JOURNALSPEAK What happens when you finally understand that your chronic symptoms are rooted in the mind-body connection, but you’re not yet experiencing the freedom you know is possible? The door behind you has closed: you’re no longer endlessly searching for a physical cure to what you now understand is a nervous system problem. But the path ahead still feels uncertain. This uncomfortable, disorienting space is what we call the messy middle. In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful bootcamp Lisa and I led for our BreakAwake community about how to navigate this stage of healing. We explore why the messy middle isn’t evidence that the work isn’t working, but a necessary passage between understanding the solution and learning to live inside it. If you feel like you know too much to go backward but aren’t yet free enough to trust what’s ahead, this conversation is for you. Join us! XOOX n. More for you: THIS WILL SELL OUT SO BOOK SOON!! Lisa and I will be teaching at Miraval Austin from September 25–27 for a relaxing, immersive retreat experience rooted in this work.

From the Vault: Anxiety, Vertigo, Migraine, Long Covid, and WAKING UP with Jonah Primo
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak When Jonah Primo, host of the in-app podcast Work in Progress on the WAKING UP app contacted us, Lisa and I were elated. We are long time fans of WAKING UP and its founder, neuroscientist Sam Harris, and we were enthusiastic about sharing space with such a like-minded person. But that was just the beginning. Jonah's own pain story was stunning, and we quickly jumped on the chance to have him on our podcast to tell his tale of complete despair to recovery using the mindset and tools of MindBody medicine. After being a totally healthy and athletic 27-year-old, Jonah found himself so swallowed by a laundry list of symptoms that he quite literally struggled to walk. As he became skeptical of the medical model to cure his pain, he turned in our direction, and the rest is history. Join us for a striking tale of recovery from some of the most common (yet most terrifying) symptoms we hear about - vertigo, migraines, anxiety, and the dreaded Long Covid. I know you will get so much out of what we discuss. Much love! xoxo n. 1:1 COACHING WITH TRAINED COACHES SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY NICOLE PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!

From the Vault: Rachel Platten’s Crazy Inspirational Recovery from Back Pain, Panic, Anxiety, and More
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak This interview is one for the history books. Not only is Rachel's story CRAZY inspirational, the magic that accompanies our knowing one another and the synergy of how it unfolded is uncommon and moving. I can't wait to share this one with you! Note: we had some unforeseen technical issues in the last 5 minutes of our talk, so please forgive the audio glitch. It doesn't take away 1% from the power of this tale of recovery. Special thanks to Oliver Sachs for coming through with a genius audio edit. Gotta love having a son at NYU studying music technology. Through postpartum depression, panic attacks, back and hip pain, Rachel fought her way through and out as only our sweet "Fight Song" warrior could, and her description of the lowest lows and the revelation of recovery will motivate you to carry forth through your own. So much love from both of us to all of you. xoxo n. 1:1 COACHING WITH TRAINED COACHES SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY NICOLE PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!

When Your Dream Job Becomes the Trigger: Long COVID, Vestibular Migraines, and a Real-Time Heal with Christian
LEARN HOW TO JOURNALSPEAK When Christian developed chronic dizziness, vestibular migraines, fatigue, and post-exertional crashes after COVID, his life quickly became organized around fear. As a sports broadcaster, his symptoms were especially intense at work—the very place where his identity, ambition, and ability to provide for his growing family felt most vulnerable. After normal medical testing and months of searching for answers, Christian found Mind Your Body, began JournalSpeak, and started to recognize that his nervous system was capable of change. But when his symptoms didn’t disappear as quickly as he hoped, a new fear took over: What if he couldn’t heal unless he quit his job? What if he hadn’t reached rock bottom yet? In this hybrid success story and Real-Time Heal, I help Christian understand why his symptoms attached themselves to work, achievement, and self-worth—and why recovery doesn’t require abandoning his life or waiting for his body to collapse. With his first son on the way, Christian begins to see this experience not as the end of the life he planned, but as an opportunity to build the emotional strength he’ll carry into fatherhood. We talk about predictive coding, symptom monitoring, fear of crashes, and the importance of meeting symptoms with safety rather than panic. Christian believes his story will have a happy ending. My answer is simple: It already does. XO n. More for you: THIS WILL SELL OUT SO BOOK SOON!!
