The Hidden Factors of Chronic Pain No One Talks About (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, I thought pain was something happening to me.I wanted someone to find the problem, name it, and make it stop.

Things I Learned in Recovery (A Map,So I Don't Lose Myself Again) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
✨️It's not all about me; and it's all about me. Contrary to my patriarchal programming, I need to fill my cup first. Everyone else gets the overflow.✨️It's up to me to do the inner work of healing but I don't have to do it alone.

Playing with Fire: When Drugs Turn Deadly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Overdose awareness begins with understanding - understanding the landscape we are working in.We can easily misunderstand today’s drug landscape and all that comes with it.
