    Learn how to JournalSpeak :⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s Singer/Songwriter Raye Zaragoza contacted me for a Real Time Heal after debilitating Migraines, Vertigo and light sensitivity brought her to her knees, sometimes literally. In her darkest hour, she found the work of Dr. Sarno, and then me. I am humbled by the privilege to help people awaken to their full potential, and at the tender age of 26, Raye is doing just that. Although she has come so far, fear is still her greatest adversary (we can all relate!) and we discuss this as well as deep inner child work which is life changing in the most profound way.

    Bedbound with Chronic Head Pain: JournalSpeak Saved Bethany's Life

    Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this moving conversation, I sit down with Bethany Williams, whose journey through chronic pain will stop you in your tracks. More importantly, it will remind you what is truly possible. After being diagnosed with New Daily Persistent Headache in her early 20s, Bethany experienced a devastating relapse that left her in unimaginable, 11-out-of-10 pain. Bedbound for a year and a half, unable to tolerate light, sound, or even basic daily life, she reached a point where her future felt completely uncertain. And yet, what unfolds from there is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the profound capacity for healing when we begin to understand the mind-body connection. Bethany shares the turning point that shifted everything - when, after exhausting every medical avenue, she reluctantly explored MindBody work and began to see change. Using JournalSpeak alongside EMDR, nervous system regulation, and radical acceptance, she slowly moved out of survival mode and into a life that once again felt possible. We talk about the real resistance people feel when first introduced to this work (and why that resistance makes perfect sense), the role of trauma and the nervous system in chronic symptoms, and what it actually looks like to reclaim your agency when you’ve spent so long feeling powerless. What makes this conversation so powerful is not just that Bethany got her life back - it’s how her entire relationship to herself transformed along the way. We explore the concept of the “last 10%” of symptoms, why letting go of the need to be symptom-free is often the final key, and how radical acceptance creates the space for true healing. If you’ve ever felt like you are too far gone, too sick, or too hopeless to recover, this episode is here to meet you exactly where you are, and to show you that there is a way forward. Join us!

    From the Vault: Long Covid Recovery and Releasing Fear with Jessica

    Learn how to JournalSpeak :⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s Little did I know when I began this work and continued for years to walk through it with people, that it would become central to heal a world weary and stricken by a global pandemic. I am so glad to be able to bring you these inspiring narratives. When we first corresponded, I asked Jessica, "So, do you consider this a success story or a Real Time Heal?" as I was open to either.

    Everyone Is Talking About Ozempic and GLP-1s. This Is the Conversation We’re Missing.

    Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s Today I want to bring a conversation from Substack into the podcast because the response has been impossible to ignore. Everywhere we look right now, people are talking about Ozempic and other GLP-1s—whether they work, whether they’re safe, whether they’re a miracle or a problem. But what I'm noticing is that almost all of these conversations are happening on the surface. In this episode, I’m not here to tell you what to do with your body or whether these medications are right for you. I want us to slow this down and ask a different question—one that matters just as much, if not more. Through the lens of MindBody medicine and nervous system regulation, I think it's essential we explore what it really means to be “small” or “large,” and why so many of us carry a deeply unconscious fear of taking up space—not just physically, but energetically, emotionally, and in our lives. If we don’t bring awareness to this fear, we risk solving the wrong problem, no matter how powerful the solution looks. This episode is an invitation to pause, get curious, and begin to make the unconscious conscious—so we can make choices from a place of freedom, not fear. Join us!

    REAL TIME HEAL: Long COVID, Fear, and the Nervous System with Marisa Renee Lee

    Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In today’s episode, I sit down with Marisa Renee Lee for a powerful Real Time Heal conversation about long COVID, chronic symptoms, and the deeper emotional landscape that shapes our experience in the body. Marisa brings a lifetime of resilience and insight—navigating profound loss, high achievement, and now an ongoing healing journey that will feel deeply familiar to so many of you. Together, we explore how fear, control, and the nervous system interact in ways that can keep us stuck, even when we’re doing everything “right.” This conversation is about so much more than symptoms. It’s about learning to loosen the grip of outcome-dependence, understanding what true safety feels like in the body, and beginning to live with more curiosity and self-compassion. Marisa’s honesty makes this a deeply relatable and moving session — and her willingness to go there in real time opens the door for all of us. Marisa’s new book, Waiting for Dawn (April 2026), offers solace for anyone living in uncertainty — longing for pain to subside, grief to soften, and healing to unfold. If this conversation resonates, her work will meet you in a very real and meaningful way. Join us! XOOX n.

    The Core Wounds That Drive Chronic Pain, Anxiety & Self-Sabotage (And How to Heal Them)

    Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s Today I want to talk about something foundational—something that sits underneath so many of the patterns you’re struggling with, whether that’s chronic pain, anxiety, relationship issues, or just feeling stuck in the same loops. We’re diving into core wounds: those deep emotional imprints formed in childhood that shape how you see yourself, others, and the world. These wounds don’t mean something is wrong with you. They’re simply information. But when they go unexamined, they can quietly drive your reactions, your choices, and even your physical symptoms—like you’re looking at life through a lens you don’t even realize you’re wearing. In this episode, I walk you through the most common core wounds—“I’m not good enough,” “I’m unlovable,” “I don’t matter,” “I’m not safe,” and more—and how they show up in your adult life as perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-doubt, chronic symptoms, and emotional overwhelm. Most importantly, I’ll show you how to begin working with them using JournalSpeak and compassionate self-inquiry. This is not about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding yourself deeply enough that your nervous system can finally feel safe—and that’s where real healing begins.
