Summary

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠LEARN HOW:⁠https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak⁠⁠ In this two-part Ask Me Anything special, I’m joined by my partner, Lisa Eisenpresser, to answer real questions submitted by members of our BreakAwake and Heal with Nicole communities. We dive into many of the most common—and most impactful—questions that come up on the TMS healing journey, including questions around resistance, fear, myriad chronic symptoms, and the familiar concern so many of us share: “Am I doing it right?” Together, Lisa and I explore topics like exercising while healing, what radical acceptance truly means, and how to navigate doubt and setbacks with compassion rather than self-judgment. These episodes are a reminder that healing isn’t about doing everything perfectly—it’s about showing up with honesty, curiosity, and trust in your own inner wisdom. Wherever you are on this path, our hope is that this conversation helps you feel supported, reassured, and less alone.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Cure for Chronic Pain podcast with me, Nicole Sacks.
0:08.4	You are here.
0:13.4	Hello, everybody.
0:15.0	How are you today?
0:15.7	This is Nicole and Lisa.
0:18.0	And you have reached the Cure for Chronic Pain podcast with us.
0:21.3	And we are here with a very special end of year, Ask Me Anything podcast episode.
0:30.6	Yes, we had the idea for this based on a nostalgia for those old call-in radio shows.
0:36.8	So the idea popped into my head and I thought, let's do it. Let's make it feel as live as we can. Let's, you know, solicit a bunch of questions so we haven't been front of us, but let's not familiarize ourselves with them. So they're going to be coming cold to be and to Nicole. She's going to be answering, and I'm just going to be reading them, which you'll
0:55.7	have to bear with me.
0:56.6	And they're going to be in no particular order.
0:58.5	So it's going to really feel live.
1:00.8	Yeah.
1:00.9	And we're thinking two-part podcast because there's a lot of questions.
1:04.5	So you'll probably get it on this Friday and the following Friday.
1:09.9	And they are organically your questions from the
1:14.6	community.
1:15.3	And if we love it, we'll just keep doing them.
1:17.7	Yeah.
1:18.1	And as you guys have heard me say in the past couple weeks, we've been soliciting your
1:23.1	questions from the breakawake and the heal with with Nicole member communities and anyone who's interested
1:29.7	in any of that or of learning more of anything we talk about today, just go to nicolesax.com
