Episode notes

I’m diving into the heart of why I started Getting Better Pod. After years of chronic pain, daily migraines, and feeling stuck in survival mode, I’ve learned a lot about coping and finding hope. In this episode, I’m sharing the Spoon Theory—a game-changer for explaining life with limited energy—and some advice for handling pain, strengthening relationships, and holding onto hope when it feels impossible.

Whether you’re living with chronic pain or illness, or supporting someone who is, this episode is for you.
