  Speaker 1: Woooo it is for Friday, my little VIPs, And what
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a bricking week it's been. I swear that with each
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: day that passes, I must experience three hundred and fifty
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: million different types of pain, sensations, feelings, theories about why
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: this has all happened to me, the positives, the negatives,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the ups, the downs, the all around. My days are
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: really exhausting living in this body, and it isn't getting
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: any easier, right, I mean, pain bites, man, it just does.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I've never been this exhausted as I have been for
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the past couple years, and lately my exhaustion has been
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: through the roof, like I'm just hooped, you guys.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Like the fatigue is insane, and that fatigue makes me
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: not be as accomplished and productive as I used to be,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: where I would wake up at five o'clock in the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: morning and I'd be done by midnight and I was
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: rocking and rolling. I can't even remotely do that anymore,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: my god, so you know, And it's emotional to feel useless.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: It's emotional on these days where I quite frankly am useless.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm like laying in bed just kicking it by myself
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and the dogs, with my laptop, with my ice booties,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: with all of the things I've got going chocolate for one,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: and massive amounts of THHC and CBD because I don't
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: do anything else even the Drinking's God, my life is
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a complete toilet. No, it's not. I'm actually very grateful
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: for my life, even through the shit that this is
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: of the body that I'm in. Right So, as you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: we do these little pain bites here every other Friday,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: and we're still kind of trying to figure out how
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: we want these to work, So keep on sending in
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: what you've been doing. But here is a bite for
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: this Friday from one of our listeners. We're gonna call
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: her Mary Tea, and one of them is emotional and
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: one of them is physical. She kind of sent in
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: two of them, so we're gonna push them together and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: we're gonna talk to you Mary. My girl. Mary has
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: moderate osteoarthritis in her knees, painful but manageable, which I
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: love to hear. But due to some recent weight gain, Mary,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: are you snacking too much? The pain went through the roof.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: She ended up having to use a walker for a
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: brief period of time, and boy, do we know in
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the pain community how needing mobility tools is something that
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: we need and we have to just go with it
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and adapt and use them, because if we don't, we
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: lose our freedom. We use the joy that we once
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: had by not being able to move our bodies. So
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: good for you for doing that. They provide us that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: freedom so that we can do more when our bods
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: are acting out on us. And through the pain of
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: all of it, she was able to drop some of
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: her extra lbs and is now on a roll. And
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I'm so proud of you. Mayor down ten with twenty
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: more to go, and you should be proud of yourself,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: she wrote, I'm proud of myself and you should, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: we are very proud of you too, So keep it going, babe.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Then we go to the trauma side of things. We
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: certainly cover that every show and every second on this show, right,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the importance of starting to process traumas that we have
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: endured at no matter what age, is challenging to start,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to say the least, Right, it's just just to walk
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: out the door and begin therapy on something that's traumatic
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: in and of itself is traumatic to do right, So
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: here she is She's got trauma, and that importance of
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: trauma and facing our fears and facing those things is
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: so incredibly important. So and I didn't even start talking
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: about my childhood, teenage, college, and adulthood trauma until I
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: started this show. So that was like, I don't even
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: want to say how old I am. But it is
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: so incredibly hard and truly and honestly hard to be
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: true and honest and raw and real and open and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: not be scared because it is super scary. So now
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: we have little miss Mary who started her therapy a
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: few weeks ago to finally face her childhood trauma, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: even though it was messy and scary and sad, she
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: is having insight after breakthrough after breakthrough and growing and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: is so also very proud of herself for her courage,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and she's should be. It's not easy to open up
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: and to be raw and share your shitty scoops, you know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's hard work, but it's necessary.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And I wonder if she will keep dropping weight and
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: her pain lifts as she continues to rock the therapy world.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be an epic? I certainly hope. So, Mary,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: we are behind you. Keep on trucking. It is the
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: only way. And I wanted to say a personal note
• 4:21
