Mighty Talks is here to talk about real health issues affecting real people. I created this podcast as an outlet, a way of connecting myself to others amidst this global pandemic. The main focus is to really dive in to all that encompasses chronic pain AND, which I think is just as important, how improving overall health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition can and will improve pain scores and enhance quality of life. Hop along and join in on the witty, emotional, vulnerable, and MIGHTY conversation!

So helpful!

Lesley does a great job of helping identify some of the issues people need to work through. I love that she’s been so honest about how to deal with chronic pain through identifying our own behavior. She is a great presenter and cares about helping others. Well worth listening to! Thanks, Lesley for putting this information together!
