82: Move Through It or Slow Down? Understanding Pain vs. Discomfort in Midlife

Have you ever wondered whether you should push through discomfort—or if it’s a sign to slow down? 🤔

It's an issue I've been dealing with recently, and I know you're probably experiencing discomfort or pain at this time, too.

So in this episode, I'm breaking it down:

✅ The difference between discomfort and pain – and why it matters in midlife

✅ When to push through (whether it’s a workout or an emotional challenge)

✅ When to stop, slow down, or seek support 💡

✅ How menopause changes the way we experience pain 🌀

✅ Practical tools to tune into your body and mind

Pain isn’t always a bad thing—but knowing which signals to listen to can make all the difference in how you feel and function.

Let me know what resonates with you—I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Keep moving forward,

Debbie
