Sometimes, with the right mindset, you can learn lessons from anywhere—but even I didn’t expect to be so inspired by a little shoe-wearing shell.That's exactly what we're diving into in this (admittedly different) episode of Building Resilience, as I take you through the surprisingly deep themes found in the movie "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On." Despite its whimsical nature, Marcel's journey touches on the importance of connection, managing stress through play and laughter, and the essence of hope and resilience amidst grief and loss. Through Marcel's eyes, we're reminded of the significance of community, the power of a positive mindset, and the strength found in simple joys. Marcel's story is a testament to the resilience within us all, proving that sometimes, the smallest characters can inspire the biggest changes in our perspective.Resources:Podcast Roadmap: Revolutionize your life with the power of your nervous system, listening to these episodes.The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---join the waitlist!

Sometimes, the pain we feel isn't just a symptom of physical injury but a complex interplay between our body and mind.  This connection, often overlooked, can hold the key to understanding chronic pain and even unlock new ways of relieving it. The pain is real—but its physical traces are not always present.In this episode of Building Resilience, I delve into the intriguing concept of neuroplastic pain and mind-body syndrome. I had the opportunity to explore this topic with Dr. Howard Schubiner, whose insights shed light on how our brain can sometimes make the body feel physical symptoms. We discuss the criteria for identifying these types of conditions (FIT), and the profound implications for healing. Links:Ep. 164 - All About PainResources:Podcast Roadmap: Revolutionize your life with the power of your nervous system, listening to these episodes.The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---join the waitlist!

Pain is more than just a signal; it's a complex experience that intertwines with our nervous system in ways we're only beginning to understand.In this episode of Building Resilience, I take you through the intricate relationship between chronic pain and the nervous system. Drawing from my certification in pain reprocessing therapy, I delve into the concept of neuroplastic pain---where our brains mistakenly perceive safe signals as threats, causing real pain without physical harm. I share insights into how chronic pain can arise from past trauma, stress, and even certain personality traits—but the important thing to remember is that all pain is genuinely felt and deeply real.Links:Ep.163 - The Power of WalkingResources:Podcast Roadmap: Revolutionize your life with the power of your nervous system, listening to these episodes.The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---join the waitlist!
