Welcome to the Cure for Chronic Pain Podcast with me, Nicole Sachs. You are here.

Hello everybody, how are you today?

This is Nicole and you've reached my podcast, The Cure for Chronic Pain with me,

Nicole Sachs.

Welcome to it.

Pretty happy to be here with you guys today as you might

hear in my voice. You know, every day is a different challenge, but we're here

aren't we? We're doing the hard work of

being alive and I hope today is a good day for you and as always if it is not if it is a

shit day I hope to bring a little bit of light and of joy into your life.

And this podcast episode certainly did it for me. I loved talking to Meisha.

She just is so smart and has such insights about this journey and if you are on it and you probably are if you're listening you're really going to get a lot out of this conversation

She just she really brings it with the knowledge and the neuroscience and gives me a great opportunity for some teachable moments.

So I'm really excited to share this story of recovery with you.

In addition, as we sit on November 17th,

if you are listening to this when it airs,

we're just gearing up for the holiday season.

In some recovery communities, they called the holiday season the hurricane season.

I don't know if you are a person who struggles with family or with showing up for people that are your triggers, have been your core wounds, you know, homes where you have had to live with limited power in your life you know a lot of a lot of holiday

stuff brings up a lot of stuff for people so if that is you take good care of yourself

you know just self-care boundaries pausing take a walk do what you need say no when you have to you guys know what I'm talking about just reminder, a reminder that life is a complex journey of moving in and out of situations that we have to be in, we want to be in, we're conflicted about, and just taking really good care of yourself during that time.

And this podcast has many, many, many episodes on all sorts of self-care.
