Jonathan's JournalSpeak Recovery from ME/CFS and Long COVID
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak When Jonathan developed long COVID and chronic fatigue, his life became smaller and smaller. He went from playing tennis, snowboarding, and mountain biking to barely being able to leave the house, and for more than three years he tried nearly everything he could find to get better. By the beginning of 2026, he had mostly accepted that this was his life now. Then he found recovery stories from people who understood the mind-body connection, discovered my work, began JournalSpeak, and allowed himself to believe that healing might actually be possible. Within four to six weeks, his chronic fatigue symptoms were gone. Today, he’s playing tennis with his daughter, mountain biking with his son, and living his life again. In this conversation, Jonathan and I talk honestly about what it takes to move through the messiest middle of recovery, when your body is still producing symptoms and every instinct tells you to retreat, manage, pace, and search for the next person who might fix you. We talk about perfectionism, pre-grief, fear of failure, symptom imperatives, and why belief is the gas in the tank—but also why urgency can keep the nervous system convinced that something is still terribly wrong. I share more about my own recovery from lifelong migraines, and we explore how JournalSpeak gives the parts of us operating under the cover of darkness a safe place to finally be acknowledged. Jonathan’s story is a powerful reminder that even after years of illness, the body is not broken, the nervous system can change, and it is never too late to find your way back to yourself. Join us!

From the Vault: Helping a Child to Save Herself - Meet My Sweet Charlotte
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak I can't tell you how many questions I receive requesting guidance on helping kids with TMS. I figured...how better to explain than to interview my own child? I raise my 5 kids with the knowledge that we live in a mind/body system. Sometimes we feel things in our hearts, and sometimes we feel things in our bodies. When it came to a scary diagnosis like Charlotte received last summer, we initially took the medical route to get some answers. When I realized that western medicine had taken us as far as we could go (that would be effective in helping her), we went full-on TMS recovery model, and it changed Charlotte's life. Join us as my beautiful, articulate 11-year-old daughter shares with you her wisdom and her healing.

Autoimmune Disease and the Decision to Reclaim Your Power with Dr. Tovah Goldfine
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tovah Goldfine—Doc Tovah—to talk about her personal journey through trauma, chronic symptoms, environmental sensitivities, and the mind-body work that ultimately changed her relationship with all of it. Together, we explore why the past matters insofar as it continues to shape the present, how old wounds become today’s triggers, and why forgiveness is never about excusing what happened. It’s about asking whether the anger, fear, or resentment we are carrying still serves us now. We also have an honest and nuanced conversation about autoimmune disease, mold toxicity, chronic Lyme, and other diagnoses that can leave people feeling powerless. Neither of us is suggesting that symptoms aren’t real or that people should reject appropriate medical care. What we are saying is that a diagnosis does not tell the whole story, and our relationship with that diagnosis can profoundly affect how we live. We have so much more power than we realize to influence our physical and emotional health, and sometimes healing begins with the willingness to pause, consider another possibility, make a decision, and reclaim that power.

From the Vault: REAL TIME HEAL - TMJ, Migraines, Self-Care, and Boundaries with Katie
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak When Katie first joined our Membership Community last fall, she has already been through the gamut of TMS symptoms since childhood. Raised in a family affected by alcoholism, Katie as the oldest child was parentified from a young age. Although she was stricken with pretty serious TMS growing up, Katie always showed up with a brave face. At home, nothing was discussed. At school, she shined. This, of course, can't last forever - no human can take it. Join us today for a profound and impactful RTH where Katie shares her story thus far, and then we delve together into the places that might be keeping her stuck. I love these opportunities to move the needle on healing, and I feel confident that Katie will continue to ascend up her own mountains. Enjoy!

When Motherhood Overwhelms the Nervous System with Danielle Shugg
Learn how to JournalSpeak https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak The heart of this episode is much bigger than chronic symptoms: it’s about the invisible pressure mothers carry, the ways the nervous system tries to protect us, and how reclaiming ourselves changes both our health and the way we parent. In this candid conversation, I’m joined by my partner, Lisa Eisenpresser, and Danielle Shugg, founder of The Mindful Blonde, to explore how perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-responsibility, and the relentless demand to get motherhood “right” can keep us in a state of perceived danger. Danielle shares how JournalSpeak helped her understand not only her chronic physical symptoms, but also the chronic anxiety, anger, guilt, and overwhelm she was experiencing as a mother, and how that understanding fundamentally changed the way she parents. I also answer questions from mothers navigating postpartum pain, chronic fatigue, autoimmune flares, medical anxiety in their children, difficult relationships, resistance to doing the work, and the fear that something will fall through the cracks if they stop worrying. This episode is a compassionate reminder that tending to ourselves does not mean abandoning our responsibilities; it allows us to meet them from a more grounded, confident, and emotionally available place. When we learn to recognize what is within our power, release what is not, and offer ourselves the compassion we so instinctively give our children, we don’t just change our own lives - we give our children a profoundly different model for living theirs.

Today, Eric Hissom boldly and bravely addresses his battle with pelvic pain (yes! men get it too, and I hear from them all the time) and shares with us how his pain can move and morph to many areas of his body. Although his TMS work has eliminated the back pain, the pelvic pain lingers and we get down to why.
