Welcome to the Cure for Chronic Pain podcast with me, Nicole Sachs.

You are here.

Hello my friends, how are you today? This is Nicole and you have reached my podcast, the Cure for Chronic Pain with me Nicole Sachs.

Welcome to it and welcome to what some people I know call hurricane season.

Now I don't necessarily have this problem personally because I don't have a big huge family but I do have friends that refer to the week before Thanksgiving to the day after New Year's as hurricane season where they are going to get swept up in conflict and conversations and family and

having to stay quiet when they want to speak and losing their temper when they want to stay quiet and you know it's all possible it's all possible so if this is hurricane season for you I bring you deep connection and love

and I know that today's episode is going to help you because today we're going to replay an episode originally recorded just about a year ago it was actually right after hurricane season last year

and it's about how to talk to people about TMS how to talk to your family how to talk to your friends your colleagues your children your partners and also how to talk to yourself and how to be with the right self talk and the right mindset in order to be in a good space about communicating this journey and really understanding how to show up calmly and confidently which is the best posture for healing.

So I figured in the midst of this busy time this would be a really great reminder as we roll into the Thanksgiving holiday when this podcast air Thanksgiving will be just about a week away and I think that it's time to you know gear up because you want to show up as your best self you don't want to show up defensively you don't want to show up lightening this and making it seem like it's less important to you than it is

and I think it's just sometimes helpful to have a bit of a preparation a bit of a script that helps you deep go get deeper into your authenticity because I sometimes think and I guess I speak for myself my authentic voice can get lost in my fear and my anxiety and my nervousness when I'm looking to communicate something that's important to me

and so sometimes having little guidance around that can be very helpful so so that's what we're going to do today we're going to talk about that I really listen to it and I think it still remains a really strong message and so I hope you enjoy it and I hope it helps you out a little bit whether just with your own mindset or in an actual conversation you are gearing up to have at your holiday dinner or get together or what have you.

So so in the meantime I just want to remind you that the first cure for chronic pain membership community my first group my first private group that I'm starting is still open for enrollment there are very few spots left but when this podcast airs there will probably be a handful of spots left so if you would like to join our first six month membership community it's going to include one afternoon a month where we spend together on zoom which will be recorded in case you can't make it.

And it will be on a weekend I'm just answering some frequently asked questions right here and a private community that will just be the 100 of us 99 of you and me that we will be communicating I will be putting original content up I will be answering your questions and just being with you in a really casual way and in that effort I know that I will get to know you over the six months and you will really get to know each other and we're going to we're going to create something that is really cohesive and I hope really support you.

And I hope really supportive so if you want to be in our first group please email me at nj sacks at gmail.com and put membership in the subject line and I will put you on the wait list if you don't get into the first group which is starting on January first I will put you on the wait list for our second group that will start six months after that.

But if you want to get into the first group now is the time and just so you know we will be doing on December first enrollment will open and we will spend the month of December getting to know each other in January we are going to start our work in earnest but you don't have to sign on until January okay answered all the questions that people have been asking me.

So go over to my my gmail and send me an email if you would like to be part of that if you're looking for more of a self-paced situation just go over to my website the cure for chronic pain.com I have my online courses retreat recordings and many many free resources.

All right my loves will enjoy this talk about how to share TMS with your friends family and the best mindset for yourself and I will see you next time.

So wherever you're at this morning if you have a deep desire for normal or a deep desire to be out of pain or for your grief to lessen or for your fear to chill or for your anxiety to just sit down I'm with you because we're human and we have desires for things and so the best advice I can give you from my experience is be with the desire because it's only fair be with the joy of the moment when you're getting what you want to do.

And then just be open to things shifting when you're not getting what you want transformation begins with the radical acceptance of what is and it will always always be that way and it is a lifelong journey for this person before you to accept that but more and more I am and it does really really improve my experience of being alive.

So I hope that you can join me in that so anyway hello I hope today is a good day. I am going to talk today about a subject that I get written to about constantly which is sort of encapsulated in the following sentence.

Nicole I have walked this walk very for a very long while meaning I've walked my life's walk not necessarily my works walk I have walked this journey for a minute and half and I have spent all tons of different money and I have tried all these different modalities and I have believed all these different things were going to help me whether it was a medication or just a different way of doing it.

It was a medication or surgery or treatment or even a holistic or alternative treatment.
