I don't know about you, but I know with each passing day, it seems I have more chronic aches and pains.

This is one of the reasons I am so excited to have Dr. Cross on the podcast today because we're

going to be talking about chronic pain. We're going to talk about chronic pain when you're

postpartum, and that means anytime, obviously, after you've had a baby, we're going to talk about

but your nervous system. That's right. She's going to help us look at chronic pain a little bit

which stands for Ready Set Rewire. It is a program she developed

to take women with chronic stress, pain, and inflammation out of pain and survival mode,

and to move them into a thriving life and living an active lifestyle they love. She graduated

with her doctorate in physical therapy from Duke University in 2013.

Her journey as a chronic pain specialist and coach evolved nearly from a decade of practice

at the Veterans Hospital.

Dr. Cross has grown her practice to include areas of expertise in nutrition, hypnosis,

guided imagery, mindfulness, pain, neuroscience, education, breath work, mind-body practices, and so much

more when it comes to chronic pain. When she's not working on all the things that she loves

related to chronic pain, she enjoys church, hikes with her two kids, her husband, and exercising.

She prefers lifting weights, tennis, and running, and she loves playing board games.

that a lot of people deal with. I think it's really common for us to all have kind of a nagging

ache and pain. And hopefully in today's episode, you're going to get a couple of ideas to try to

improve that nagging chronic pain that you're
