Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s Last month inside our BreakAwake member Boot Camp, Lisa and I dove into a conversation that felt relevant for all of us: the ways we unknowingly block our own healing by staying in analysis instead of allowing real emotional processing. Overintellectualizing, building airtight narratives, replaying the same old stories—these habits can feel like we’re...

Mariel was so debilitated with pain that she was actively contemplating ending her life, and now she is amazing with 80% of her severe pain gone. But as we continued with the conversation, it became clear that a RTH was in store, in order to give Mariel all the tools she needs to...

When her debilitating back pain began in her 20's, she had no idea that those behaviors could possibility have anything to do with it. After two surgeries, and pain that kept moving around, Jacqueline foun...

Not as spiritual concepts, and not as moral achievements, but as neurobiological states that directly impact healing, behavior change, and the way our nervous systems organize themselves. When we are lo...

Learn how to JournalSpeak  ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s⁠⁠⁠ The first time I spoke to Dani on this podcast (ep #66) she was in the midst of an awakening - for the first time in 3 years (when at times she'd been in a wheelchair to manage her back pain) she had been pain free for a number of weeks, and she was astounded. This did not happen by chance. Dani is a warrior for the work, and she didn't turn her back on ...

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
