In this episode, I sit down with James Bloomer after he reached out in response to my call for more male voices in the mindbody/TMS conversation. James is 64 years old and brings an honest, powerful story that spans more than two decades and five distinct TMS episodes—each one convincingly masquerading as a physical problem. Like so many people I work with, James is thoughtful, successful, and driven, with a life that looks “perfect” on the outside: a long career as a high-powered insurance executive, his own financial planning business, a strong marriage, and two adult children he adores. And yet, his body has told a very different story.

James walks us through the evolution of his symptoms—total body pain, knee pain, severe back pain, gluteal pain, and finally pelvic pain and lifelong urinary frequency—and how each one came with a rational, medical explanation that ultimately wasn’t true. He shares how deeply he bought into the physical narratives, spending thousands of dollars on doctors, treatments, supplements, and tools, only to eventually find relief through TMS work again and again. We even talk about the surreal moment when he picked up the phone and personally reached Dr. Sarno back in 2010. What’s most striking is James’s honesty about the pattern so many of us fall into: doing some of the work, getting better, and then stopping—only to be “fooled” by the next symptom.

Now, using JournalSpeak and my approach consistently, James is about 75% symptom-free and doing the deeper, more uncomfortable emotional excavation that long-term healing often requires. He speaks candidly about uncovering repressed material from childhood, the emotional cost of chronic pain on his marriage, and the reality that some symptoms—especially pelvic pain and urinary issues—can take time and patience to unwind. This conversation is a reminder that TMS doesn’t discriminate by gender, age, or success level, and that true healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about commitment, compassion, and staying in the work for life. Join us! XO n.

When I sat down first thing in the morning (my time) to chat across the pond with Adam Wight in the middle of his day, our tone of voices were just a bit more free than they might be now. It's interesting to think how quickly our days are changing! But we will all make it through, as we continue to actively choose love over fear. In today's episode, Adam and I delve into a lifetime of repressed emotions over his life with his mother, and the obvious and natural connection that has to his anxiety, digestive issues, and other TMS symptoms. Join us for an impactful and eye opening real time heal. Stay safe and connected out there, wherever this day finds you. Sending big love.. n.

Today we have an incredible follow up story from a RTH that I did about a year ago with Angela. She has been on quite the ride, and has gone through many stages of healing. Her story is one of a badass warrior, walking through crippling anxiety as a symptom imperative, bringing her face to face with the trauma responses that had been shaping her life. What an inspiration to hear her triumph! Listen and enjoy...

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Lois Heymann, who is in her 70s and living proof that healing has no expiration date. Lois came to my work with terrible neck pain—but what she discovered went far beyond her physical symptoms. As she began to look inward, she realized how deeply she had been limiting herself, quietly resigned to the belief that aging meant shrinking, suffering, and slowly going downhill. That belief had shaped not only her body, but her relationship with herself.

Through this work, Lois experienced a full recovery from her neck pain—but even more powerfully, she reclaimed her joy. Today, she feels more aligned, authentic, and inspired than ever before. This conversation isn’t just about pain; it’s about waking up, telling the truth, and choosing to thrive at any stage of life. If you’ve ever thought, “It’s too late for me,” Lois’ story will gently—and powerfully—invite you to think again. Join us! XOOX n.

The day I saw Felisha's first post in my Instagram community I was definitely concerned. Her despair was so thick, her hope so low. This is precisely the reason that I have been so inspired by her journey. This was supposed to be a Real Time Heal, but it quickly turned into a success story.

Felicia's dire diagnoses, alongside her total unwillingness to stop searching, has led to an amazing transformation in her. This is about more than pain - it's about waking up and living your best life. I know every one of us will take away great inspiration from Felisha's story. XOOX n.
