    Learn how to JournalSpeak :⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s We must speak of the unspeakable, in every aspect of life. Passionately, boldly, bravely, unapologetically. This is the way we heal. There is no topic that feels more relevant to this imperative than pelvic pain. Although all chronic pain originates in the same place (the brain and nervous system's desire to protect us from our repressed emotions), when this process is being expressed through our pelvic area, it can be especially hard to talk about. When Whitney Rydman came on the pod as a "Real Time Heal" last year, she was still struggling with some level of pelvic pain, and her new symptom of fibromyalgia. I'm thrilled to share that today she is totally pain free and living a full and limitless life. Today we come together to discuss the details of her pelvic pain journey in the hopes of helping and guiding you through yours - even if your pain shows up elsewhere. The tools we discuss can work for everyone.

  • Back Pain Recovery, Inner Child Work, and "Breaking Out of the Man Box" with Coach Pete

    Back Pain Recovery, Inner Child Work, and "Breaking Out of the Man Box" with Coach Pete
    Feb 27 2026
    Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s⁠ In this week’s episode, I sit down with Peter Heymann, a coach in our BreakAwake community and a beautiful example of what is possible when someone is willing to do the real work. Peter recovered fully from chronic back pain using this work, and what makes his story especially powerful is how deeply it intersects with the way boys and men are conditioned in our culture. We talk about “the man box” — the unspoken rules so many boys are raised with: don’t cry, tough it out, man up. When we teach boys to disconnect from their emotional lives, we don’t eliminate their feelings, we just drive them underground. And the body keeps score. Peter shares how inner child work helped him reconnect with younger parts of himself that had been silenced for decades, and how that reconnection was one of the missing links in resolving his pain. This conversation is tender, honest, and incredibly important — especially for those of us raising boys, loving men, or trying to unlearn our own inherited rules about strength and vulnerability. Peter speaks candidly about fatherhood, emotional literacy, and what it means to model something different for the next generation. His back pain is completely resolved, but even more meaningful is the freedom he feels inside himself. And I’m so thrilled he’ll be joining us again at the Omega Institute this June for his second summer with our community, witnessing people step out of fear and into their lives. You’re going to love this one. XOOX n.

Ann has a beautiful understanding and respect for this work, and was so brave and patient as her sweet MindBody system allowed the pain and symptoms to work through her. It's such a privilege to see my work give someone their life back, or perhaps give them their life for the first time! I know that's what it was like for me...

I'm only up to ep 7 and I've already began to implement journal speak within my life and I'm already feeling the benefits. My upper back pain between and around the shoulder blades is slowly dissipating. Thank-you Nichole for putting this information out there and carrying on Dr Sarno's legacy, it is very much appreciated!

I'm really getting a lot out of this!
