Okay. Hello. Welcome to Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. Thank you for listening. It's good to be with you again.

I hope everybody had a good week.

How are you doing, actually?

Just take a moment.

Just ask ourselves that, how are we?

How are we doing?

Are you doing okay?

I hope so.

All week long, I promise myself that in this intro, I would do my best to find maybe a more positive note than I have in the last few weeks.

I feel like in the last few weeks, it's been all about hardship.

And somebody criticized me about that, like, white people problems. And on some level, it's that. They're like white people problems.

And on some level, it's true. These are like white people problems. But they're my problems and

they're real problems and they're what I have to deal with. And more and more, I'm aware of

my white male privilege and I'm bringing guests on to address that with me.

I'll let you see who that is.

But tonight, standing here, I just feel like I'd be lying if I tried to pretend otherwise that this week wasn't really that easier

than last week. It was another hard week. And this week, for me, it's all about admitting to pain.

I had this conversation with Neil Pearson yesterday, actually. I don't know if you guys

you know who Neil Pearson is. He's like a pain science guy. And we talked about pain.

I don't want to give much away about the conversation. It'll come out a few weeks.

But one of the things that was mentioned is that a lot of us, a lot of people have more than one

pain scale.
