How Good Are You at Feeling Bad?

Pain—whether physical or emotional—can feel like an unwelcome guest. But what if you could stop fighting it and start learning from it instead? Transforming pain into power isn’t about gritting your teeth or pushing through. It’s about developing the skill to listen, feel, and respond in a way that supports your body and mind.

Most of us think we’re self-aware, but societal conditioning and generational patterns often keep us stuck in survival mode. When we ignore our body’s signals, we miss the chance to move through pain and into ease, confidence, and clarity.
