Summary

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠⁠  https://www.yourbreakawake.com/journalspeak⁠ In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Kimberly Korn, three years after she first came to my Omega retreat thinking she was walking into a spa weekend, and instead found herself face-to-face with the inner work that would change everything. Kimberly shares the full story of what brought her there: a lifetime of symptoms that seemed disconnected on the surface, from childhood asthma and eczema to OCD, anorexia, debilitating migraines, chronic neck and back pain, severe GI issues, anxiety, unexplained swelling, and deep trauma. What she found through JournalSpeak was not another way to manage her life, but a way to finally meet the feelings she had spent decades suppressing, and to understand how her nervous system had been carrying what she was never allowed to express. This conversation is a “where are they now” that will move you deeply. Kimberly shares how, since that retreat, she has remained chronic symptom-free, no longer relies on the medications she once needed, and has rebuilt an entire life from the inside out. She returned to her music career after believing that part of her life was over, and she is now a full-time songwriter with almost 50 placements in film and television. Even more beautifully, she talks about how this work transformed her as a mother, a wife, a creative person, and a human being who is no longer living in fear. This is a story about chronic pain recovery, nervous system healing, trauma, motherhood, creativity, and what becomes possible when we stop abandoning ourselves and finally decide to live. Omg. This one got me in the heart. XOXO n. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEW SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
