Pain Portals: How The Mess Becomes The Medicine

In this episode I explore the idea of pain as a portal—an invitation to deeper wisdom, growth, and transformation.

I share my personal journey with PMDD, how it cracked me open, and what I discovered when I stopped fighting my body and started listening. I talk about the ways pain is pathologized in our culture and what shifts when we approach it as a guide rather than something to fix or escape.

Pain is deep medicine that holds the potential to lead you to uncovering your most liberated and authentic self.
