Well, hello guys. How are you? It's Nicole and you have reached my podcast, The Care for

Chronic Pain with Me Nicole Sacks. And oh my goodness, do we find ourselves in wacky, wacky times?

So today I'm going to bring to you a real-time heal, but the bizarre part of that is that we recorded

this before, like right before this whole global pandemic. And so it's so interesting to see a snapshot

of something the moment before. Because just the cadence in our voices and the carefree nature by which I

say, oh, I just put my kids on the school bus, just makes it feel like it's a different time

altogether. And as I'm sure many of you relate to this day by day, it feels like it's a different time

altogether. Yesterday feels different than the day before and I imagine perhaps tomorrow. So,

you know, we're living in a bit of a turbulent moment. And that's okay, we're getting through it.

Yesterday I taught a really incredible virtual mini-retreat. I'm trying to schedule them as often

as possible. They're selling out the moment they're posted. But if you are a listener who has not

seen any of my postings about my virtual mini-retreats, definitely go and join my free and private

Facebook community journal, speak with Nicole Sacks, LCSW. If you search that name on Facebook,

you will get an opportunity to click and join my community. And I advertise everything I do

there first because I like to let my community avail themselves of my opportunities first. And then

I'll usually bring it to Instagram where you could find me at NJSacks. And then of course, I also

try to send out email blasts. But the problem with these virtual retreats, which is the great

thing about them, but also the problem, is that they keep selling out so immediately,

advertising for them seems challenging and also almost like unnecessary because as soon as I

post them, they sell out. So, if you are a listener who hasn't seen these offerings, they're really

inexpensive. It's 35.99 a person to join me on a Zoom call. I limit it to 25 people per session so

we can really talk and be together. Everyone gets their questions answered. Everyone hears everyone
