    S5 E12 - Moving from Pressure to Presence with Inner Child (and actual) Parenting
    Nov 21 2025
    Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4⁠ In today’s episode, we explore a powerful insight backed by neuroscience:children regulate emotionally not through our advice, but through our presence. Drawing from a recent study, we break down how a simple daily practice — asking a child about their day and responding with calm acknowledgment instead of problem-solving — can significantly strengthen emotional regulation. But this isn’t just about parenting. The same is true for inner child work. Managing our own internal stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm is so much easier when we understand how to connect with these small, vulnerable parts of ourselves. In doing so, the same principles apply:pressure escalates; presence regulates. You don’t need perfect words. You don’t need the right solution. You just need to show up without urgency. Presence creates the conditions for change. Join us for a discussion that might lead to your own epiphany!

    S5 E11 - Severe CFS/ME/Long Covid Recovery with Jay
    Nov 14 2025
    Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4 At 21, Jay was living an extraordinary life — an international freestyle skier and full-time Math and Computer Science student. After winning a national ski competition, he caught Covid — and everything changed. As the virus faded, Jay was left with crushing fatigue that spiraled into ME/CFS and Long Covid. Within months, he became 97% bedbound — unable to walk to the bathroom or care for himself. His parents became his lifeline, researching desperately while he struggled to survive. Then Jay’s father found Gary (Season 3, Episode 26) who introduced them to my work, and Jay’s cognitive symptoms began to lift. With a consistent JournalSpeak practice and MindBody mindset, he is now completely recovered - competing and training again harder than ever. Jay’s story is a stunning reminder that there is more to illness than meets the eye. Join us for this incredible conversation. XOOX n. PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT!

  • S5 E10 - Toxic Shame

    S5 E10 - Toxic Shame
    Nov 7 2025
    Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ https://bit.ly/3IsmzN4 In this "sister" episode to last week's Prison of Perfect, we unpack the concept of toxic shame—the deep, painful belief that “I am bad,” rather than “I did something bad.” We'll discuss how this core wound often begins in childhood, when emotional needs for safety and connection go unmet. Over time, internalized shame becomes the background music of our lives, fueling perfectionism, people-pleasing, withdrawal, and even rage. These patterns are not moral failings, but protective adaptations the nervous system creates to survive emotional disconnection. Healing begins when we bring curiosity and compassion to the parts of ourselves that feel unworthy. Through awareness, JournalSpeak, and community, we gradually replace the old narrative of defectiveness with one of inherent worth. Remember!! You are not broken, you're human. Let's dive into it all. xoxo, n. PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW THE PODCAST HERE TO HELP OTHERS FIND IT! Producer: Lisa Eisenpresser ~~~~~ SUPPORT: 🟠 Struggling with chronic pain?

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!
