One of the best things about my podcast is all of the wonderful people doing incredible things that it's brought into my life. People like this week's guest, Jessica Graham who's returning to speak with me about their latest creation. Jessica is an author, actor and trauma resolution guide. Together we discuss Jessica's latest book, 'Being (Sick) Enough,' and talk about their journey of writing, dealing with physical and emotional pain, and navigating trauma and healing.
Jessica explains their methods for coping with pain and the importance of self-acceptance and flexibility. The episode dives deep into topics such as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), neurodivergence, chronic illness, and the transformative power of both pharmaceuticals and meditation.
The conversation concludes with a guided exercise to manage physical pain and create a better relationship with one's body.
