A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I’m currently listening to an episode from the vault and I’m floored by how much it resonates. I found Nicole (and podcast and book) only recently, and feel so hopeful. This feels like the real deal. I am halfway through the book, but tonight as I listen to this particular episode about a woman named Mariel in 2021, I’m like “that’s me too”. Currently awaiting second round of MRI results for my knee…. I don’t even want to look at the results, I don’t know what will happen but I’m grateful to Nicole and team, and all of the guests who continue to share. You are healing people, and that is everything. Thank you 🙏

I think this podcast is so incredibly helpful, I have been listening to it for years. However lately it is less about content and more about promotion: intrusive ads with no warning, constant self promotion of her coaching business, membership levels, books, courses, omega, etc. it’s become unlistenable. It doesn’t feel authentic anymore.

This is my favorite podcast of all time. Journal Speak is a gift that Nicole has given to me and the gift that keeps on giving. By using her work, I have healed from conditions such as pelvic pain, SIBO and burning mouth. Her work has helped me through many anxious and painful times. She is so knowledgeable of the mind/body connection, TMS (tension myositis syndrome) as well as what it is like to be human. She has a very calm and reassuring voice. At times it feels like she is speaking directly to me. She chooses highly relatable guests. I highly recommend this podcast if you are experiencing any chronic pain or anxiety or just want to know more about what it means to be truly human.

I’ve been struggling with loads of TMS symptoms and Nicole’s podcast has helped me learn a lot of important information.
I’ve learned a great deal and really appreciate her and the podcast.
It helps me to feel hopeful and to know that others experience the same things I do.
I am making progress. It’s very slow, but I am definitely getting better.
Thank you, Nicole for all your hard work. I really appreciate it.
