How I think about PAIN

"Pain isn’t the problem—it’s the signal. It’s your body’s fire alarm telling you something needs attention."

What if pain isn’t the enemy but a tool? In this episode, I dive into one of my favorite topics—pain—and how rethinking it can unlock healing and better health. I talk about why mindset matters as much as physical health in overcoming pain, how pain serves as an “error signal” from the body, and why curiosity is the best approach to understanding and managing it. I also share personal stories, like how strengthening my back transformed a lingering injury, and discuss practical tools like visualization, journaling, and movement to take control of pain and use it as a guide toward health.

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic pain, feared it, or let it define you, this episode will help you shift that perspective. Pain isn’t a verdict—it’s a message. And when we learn to listen, we can heal better and faster. Ready to rethink your relationship with pain? Tune in and take the first step.
