The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs, LCSW

S5 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!

From 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.

S5 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.

S5 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!
