The Mind and Fitness Podcast

Chronic Pain and Being a Victim are synonymous - but how?  I explore this a bit and why it's a necessary shift that your world will need before you can cut yourself free of your Pain Identity.

With the impending euthanasia of my first dog, Dickie, coming this week, I pay tribute to him.  This is the most raw 20 minutes of audio since the podcast began but grief isn't talked about; men feeling grief isn't talked about; grief about pet deaths isn't talked about; men feeling grief and talking about it isn't talked about.  I figured I'd cover all of those in one tear-falling episode.  If you choose to spend 20 minutes of your day listening to a grown man cry, Thank You <3

I get a lot of requests to go deeper on Somatic work - Tracking and Experiencing.  Kristy Kuecken first came across Somatic work as a Yoga instructor and she joins me on the podcast to talk about her experience so far, her training and how she is working with people all over the world.

A spur of the moment bonus show.  I looked at the calendar this morning and realized that today, September 6th, holds a really important spot in my former life of Chronic Pain.  It's less than 10 minutes and is worth your time.
