Welcome back, dear listeners, before we get into today’s episode I wanted to invite you to a live online workshop that I’m hosting called Journaling for Chronic Pain Relief.

I hope that you’ll join me, I would love to see and meet you there. The workshop will take place online on Thursday May 2nd at 12pm Eastern (and yes, there will be a replay, but it’s only available to you if you register.
