Invisible Pain Episode
Thank you so much for your podcast and this episode in particular! I’ve been living with chronic invisible pain for years and I’ve always hesitated to let people know about it (especially employers) because I don’t want to seem like a complainer or like I’m trying to avoid tasks in life or work. But this episode validated my worries and helped me understand how to manage the pain psychologically and/or learn how to move through life a little more easily with the pain. This is one of the best podcasts out there in a crowded field of podcasts.
Amazing!
Love the insite and great advice. Definitely helping me out.
So many insightful and important conversations
I loved the Free Will is a Lie episode. So many aspects of that conversation I have believed intrinsically for years but this episode gave the words to express that belief. And such a different perspective than our part of the world believes.
