Our "mini-podcast" is no longer so "mini" anymore! But, this is a big topic, divided in two: my journey with and relationship to pain, and now how I deal and cope with being in daily, unrelenting pain. Balancing the intersections of emotional and physical is such a delicate act, and really hard to do. I know no shortage of either and am still figuring it out, but hopefully something I share can speak to you, help you relate, or even give you ideas on how to face your own battles.

-I also have Erythromelalgia (aka "Man on Fire").

-I also have many mental health complications from severe childhood trauma, but will mostly focus on medical disability here.
